This seems to cause our users a lot of frustration… clicking on an app to launch it from SG Desktop doesn’t cause any visual feedback to the user…  
It would be great if the SG Desktop GUI popped up a “Loading #####…” overlay for a few seconds to show the user that something is happening in the background.

This is a great idea. Ideally you’d also have something to notify if the command failed for whatever reason.
