I'd like to see a progress meter next to the little busy arrow that chases its tail while Canola does something time consuming. The arrow is a good clue that I have to wait. Alas, I'm impatient and I want to know that Canola is really doing something instead of spinning madly in a loop.

I thought of this while playing with Canola and its UPNP support with my TwonkyMedia server. As I sat watching the little busy arrow chase its tail while Canola obtained the names of the 400-odd albums in my collection, I thought it would be nice if I could tell how far along Canola was in the process.
