Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues/1444

Originally assigned to: @NghiaTranUIT on GitHub.

Description

It would be neat for each request or collapsed folder on the left side that gets any activity to flash, to indicate that it receives activity, like an arrived response, or bytes received for a longer download request.

Why this feature/change is important?

I'm testing an app that downloads multiple videos. Those videos contain hashes in the URL so I cannot guess which one in the list in Proxyman is the one being downloaded and on screen in my app. For that it would be handy if the currently downloading video flashes in Proxyman so I quickly open its request/response to see what's going on. And if that request is collapsed under a folder, that folder would flash, so I know to expand it.

Don't want to compare, but Charles has this feature and it's really useful.

Thanks for your suggestion. I've recently received a similar request on the "Yellow Flash when the new request comes".

Just wondering: Do you need a Flash when:

A new Request comes
Start fetching the Response
Both? Or any events?

Thanks for your quick reply.

I guess both events are useful and provide some hints as to what's going on. On point 2, for me it's important not only when starting to fetch the response, but also every time new bytes arrive if it's a bigger download.

There is a workaround by using the Scripting + Color: https://docs.proxyman.io/scripting/snippet-code#comment-and-highlight-with-color

Basically, you can create a wildcard rule -> Apply a color when the Request or Response is received.

Interesting. But will that remove the color? Cause that's what basically a flash is, color and uncolor))
Probably that script can be tweaked to remove color after some milliseconds.

I tested it so it only colors the rows in the detail view (and the text not the background). But this would be handy if it flashes the folders on the left as well, so that the user knows where to dig in onto the active request/response.

So another +1 on this if I may 🙏
