## [UNRELEASED]


- Remove line about selecting a language from the dropdown when downloading database from LGTM. This makes the download progress visible when the popup is not expanded. [#894](https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/issues/894)

- Fixed a bug where copying the version information fails when a CodeQL CLI cannot be found. [#958](https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/pull/958)

Optional:
Here is a more involved suggestion for you to try out, which I think would work nicely. Consider it an option for further exploration: you can choose whether to include it as part of this PR, or complete this PR and try this suggestion in a follow-up PR.

If we look at the handleChooseDatabaseLgtm function, you can see it has a parameter progress: ProgressCallback. Progress callbacks work by allowing you to provide a progress message and step number, e.g. the code

progress({
  message: 'Choose project',
  step: 1,
  maxStep: 2
})

will update the progress notification box with the text title: message (e.g. "Adding database from LGTM: Choose project") and a 50% complete progress bar.

Instead of having the "Choose language" text in the title, which you've correctly removed in this PR, I think we could add two progress() calls -- one that says "Choose project" and one that says "Choose language". Then the popup box exactly describes the action we are asking the user to carry out in the UI at the top of the screen.

You may need to experiment to choose the best place to put those two progress calls. I think the function promptImportLgtmDatabase is a good place for the first one, and promptForLanguage is a good place for the second one. Both are reached from handleChooseDatabaseLgtm. The second one will require passing a progress parameter through to a few more functions.

I like this idea! I think for now I'll complete this PR so we can at least have some small improvement, and then I'll spend some time this afternoon and tomorrow working on it.
