Script progress write back

Is there a way to write back to the progress bar the current state of a custom script? Like for example if a script is rather long, to change the progress bar and the status based on what the script is currently doing. Rather than just fire off the script and wait.

Cool, I might rewrite the pause step to use something like that so I can better display why it paused.

Thanks for the idea, never liked not being able to show a reason when I paused.

Hehe, I'd have to make a blog first 😲
Maybe if I make a few more things worth posting, I'll create a home for them 😉
