RetroPie guides say to connect a USB device containing your content, which will then sync to your Pi. Guides then say to “wait a few minutes for the USB drive's indicator light to stop flashing”. Firstly this is rather vague, and secondly I had to dig out a USB stick that had a light on it (many don't)!
I'd suggest adding a status popup to explain what's going on, complete with loading animation (but no progress bar / percentage), providing feedback to those with or without an LED in their flash drive.
Syncing files from USB Device...
The message could appear along the top of the screen:
Or it could appear bottom right, if space permits on lower resolutions:
Or it could even be a toast popup:
It would then display a message like this when finished: Sync complete: Restart Emulationstation to see changes.
