No, this is not a bug. I have a 4.5 MB info file I wanted to tagify (and then split). I observe "loading informat...done" (overwritten, temporarily, by some number of "garbage collecting" messages) at the bottom of the screen for quite a while. I suppose pointing Info at a file this large is something of a perversion, and maybe it wasn't expected that M-X Info-tagify would be such a lengthy command. Nonetheless, I suggest that informat.el be altered such that the tagifying activity is announced during that period, as it is for a batched run. I moved the existing announcement to the Info-tagify function: 23c23 < (defun Info-tagify (&optional file) --- > (defun Info-tagify () 26,29d25 < (cond (file < (message "Tagifying %s..." file)) < (t < (message "Tagifying..."))) 78,82c74 < (min omax (point-max)))))) < (cond (file < (message "Tagifying %s...done" file)) < (t < (message "Tagifying...done")))) --- > (min omax (point-max))))))) 398c390,392 < (Info-tagify file)))) --- > (message "Tagifying %s..." file) > (Info-tagify) > (message "Tagifying %s...done" file))))
