It's up to the implementer, really. I prefer to see some Visual Feedback than just "Please wait." You'd it's stuck. A progress bar or a counter on how many files/directories that has been counted so far would be good.
I agree that something visual is much better. Also, if you can predict and ending point with any amount of accuracy a progress bar is nice. That, however, is the problem with some implementations, you MUST have an ending point for the progress bar.
As I said thoguh, I do like something "moving" to show that it's working and not stuck
Code:
char progress[4] = {'\\', '|', '/', '--'};
