[Qt-qml] Showing animated progress while loading large QML files

[Pelle Johnsen]

Thanks for the suggestion, as mentioned I've managed to encapsulate the
'heavy' QML in a Loader and thus display a static loading screen (an image
an the text 'Loading ...').

However I want to show an animated spinner, or similar to let the end user
know the app is still alive (ideally I would like to show a progress bar).
The problem is that when the Loader starts loading the rest of the QML it
freezes up the whole ui thread, so it's impossible to refresh the screen
with any progress info or even just run an animation. The QML files are
loaded from a resource file (.RCC) if it makes any difference.
