Tell them how long it takes.

"This process takes up to three minutes to complete."

(But write a better sentence than that).

========================
What phrases do you use to gently warn the user that some element of a
program is going to take way too long?

If this were an irreverent enough venue, I'd say, "Now would be a good
time to go out for coffee," or "Push Execute, then go out to lunch
while the program is working." I'd like something more low-key,
though.

And it's only going to be a minute or so. Any ideas?



Thanks

Arthur
