Applications - show intermediate status for long application startup time

1. Put Features app into the deploy folder
2. Go to content-grid and delete Features site and Large tree
3. go to Applications and stop Features
4. start Features again

Issue: when 'Start' button has been pressed, applications is starting, contents are importing and status is 'Stopped'. Status changed to 'Started' in 7 seconds, when all content are imported .

Expected: progress bar should be displayed, when the applications is starting

@sgauruseu I don't think this is possible. Progress bar can be displayed when we can calculate current progress related to the total, for example when we know how long the entire operation will take or how many items should be processed by the operation. In this case we don't know that. What we could do is show some intermediate status, like "Initializing..." between "Stopped" and "Started".

Could we at least show a "starting" icon or animation rather than a progress bar then?

We could replace status with a spinner during initialization
