Scratch 1.4 Slow saves, no feedback.

This problem is older than 1.4 actually, but it seems worse with 1.4, so I'm finally getting around to complaining about it.  *grins* 

Whenever I save my large (6MB+, with image compression) flash project, with 20 sprites, hundreds of costumes and many long scripts, Scratch "hangs" for around a minute, not responding to clicks or keystrokes, and not a showing whole lot of disk activity  either as indicated by the disk LED.

There is no visible feedback to a Save.  I suggest either a "Saving" popup with progress bar, akin to your "Reading" popup when you load a file, or at the very least, changing the mouse pointer to the Busy indicator.

regards, Fyxen

Well, there is that moving box thingee.
This is certainly a good idea...
I'll see if I can add this to streak.

Thanks.  ... Uhm, I don't see any moving box thingies when I save, no animation or other response whatever.
