Publishing Dialog seems to hang when pushing large projects

[th3coop]

Short Summary

It seems that Komodo's publishing dialog isn't usable for large project if you want to do an initial push. It's much easier to use an external tool.

Steps to Reproduce

• Create a publishing config with a drupal install or something with 1000s of files
• configure an empty remote so everything has to be pushed
• Start the process, Komodo checks file state then you can click synchronize

Expected results

I would expect it to take a while but give me immediate feedback that it's at least doing something

Actual results

Nothing seems to happen. It looks like the dialog simply hangs. I didn't wait long enough to see what eventually happens because regardless this is bad. It could be broken or it's just taking a long time to give feedback but either way this needs a better workflow.

Too big for 10.1 to handle, lets do this for 11.

I'm going to keep this on 11.1 because I know exactly where to look for this code and I just need to confirm what I think is happening is actually happening and see what I think i can do about it.
Note to self, this is where it's happening for file transfer: https://github.com/Komodo/KomodoIDE/blob/master//src/modules/publishing/components/koRemoteTransfer.py#L385

Just need to find what hooks into the progress bar from the koPubSettings classes.

Komodo will now give helpful feed back as it checks file state so you know it's actually doing something.
Notes:

• I had no FAST way to determine how many files I was going to be checking remotely so remote state check just shows which files are being checked so you know it's still working.

Now that I think about it, the issue was that if it's a first sync scenario you had no prior knowledge of the remote directory so you didn't know what you were looking at. If I just checked for existing info I could have used that for a count of remote files and if it didn't exist, fall back to just listing the file names. Oh well, too late. Future reference.
