Progress information seems to be getting attention lately. Maybe good news?
There are no details given, e.g. is it progress, progress towards completion (needs information on total amount of work, I’d guess), or something else. Seeing progress standalone might be useful to some people, to give assurance work is progressing.
I mention this in my issue linked above. Duplicati counts pretty slowly compared to another backup program I use, and speed matters. Backup is done when it’s done.
From showing where my old UI progress bar first showed, I can see how seeing no progress in status bar (while seeing file-level progress below) could be bothersome.
