    a progress bar would be more useful...

    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
