1498018 - Render Photon loading icon inside placeholder of File column while mouse hovers

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect, P3)

Description

[Amy Chan (:amychan331)]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0

Steps to reproduce:

When hovering over the File column in the Network Monitor request list, a preview image pop up if the mouse hover a request for image.


Actual results:

As of now, the file column only contains url strings. I was working on Bug 1356536 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1356536), where an icon would be added to indicate request type.


Expected results:

In the bug referred above, Victoria mentioned would it be nice if tiny Photon loading icon is showed in the placeholder after user triggers the mouseover/fetch (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1356536#c23). 
For this bug, I have some questions I asked previously: "It sounds like the Photon icon replaces the file type icon when the mouse is hovering. Is it when the mouse hover over the icon or the row? And does the Photon icon does stay as long as user hover over the target?"
Honza then suggested that it would be better to file a new bug for this.
