On first start, TeXpresso downloads necessary TeX/LaTeX files from Tectonic repository.
This can take some time, during which TeXpresso appears to be frozen.
We should display some information or a spinner to keep users waiting.
One difficulty is that there are two sources of downloads and none of them have an easy to display information:
from tectonic process downloading packages and metrics
from renderer downloading graphical resources (mostly fonts)
On tectonic side, we have no direct connection to the UI. On renderer side, we are in a synchronous function waiting to load a font, from which it would be difficult to update the window.
As a first approximation, I am thinking to display a simple spinner with a fixed message when there is nothing else to display (document is being processed and no page has been produced yet).
