Nicholas

Today:

• Finished the tests for PR (https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/pull/688) which does the inline updates of conversation items. This is ready for review / merging. Happy to change anything folks need me to.
• Created a PR (https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/pull/702) to address first pass at download indicator for the file widget. Please see the questions I've added to this PR. FYI - I started with one approach (adding QImages to the "dom") but scrapped that for just updating the QPushButton icon to the relevant state when download commenced. It's a really simple solution.
• Quick investigation of https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/issues/691 -- cannot reproduce. :-/
