time in windows replaces progress bar

recompressing an audio file I’m getting this

a progress bar would be more useful…

in contrast: texture recompression shows a progress bar

The progressbars in Unity are overall pretty misleading.

I wouldn’t mind if they show the Knight Rider style progress everywhere where they can’t make the progressbar show correct progress.

Reporting correct progress across multiple independent unknown tasks is surprisingly difficult.

A wrong progress is worse than just having a “busy but not crashed” indicator in my opinion.

in this case the tasks are the same: process a file out of a multitude
even if the processing is // % = #file completed / total # files
