This thing has been present for such a long time and it really is not necessary.
The bug I'm speaking of is that when a large GIF (or APNG and such) is loading i_view sits there seemingly idle with the message on the bottom saying 'no file loaded (Use File-Open menu)' causing you to only know it's busy loading by its lack of response.
It would be very simple to change the message to 'loading' first and then proceed to load the file.
And sometimes you don't know if something went wrong and you are possibly waiting for an event that never comes not sure if you have to be patient or if it failed, like for instance on a tablet when you rotate it and i_view simply quits trying.
This is like one of the many bugs you find in operating systems like Windows, where everybody is so used to a silly software failure that nobody even reports it any more causing it to be there 20 years later.
