Show progress in terms of number of items out of total

[BlueDrink9]

Is it possible to customize the bar such that it shows, either instead of or beside the time remaining, the absolute value that has processed through the input? For example, for 1:1000, would it be possible to show and update on each loop like "240/1000"?

This should be possible because the % is based on n_finished/n_total.

I meant is it possible with user customisation code as-is? Or are you saying it should be feasible to change the code so that it is?

This would be useful for long-running tasks where there are far more than 100 items, and you want the bar to update more than just 100 times. Another alternative would be to have decimal percentage displaying

Right now you can change the progress type to simple percentage without the time estimate with pboptions(type="txt"). Adding the remaining count vs total count of jobs would require change to the code.

Darn, in that case please consider this a feature request!
