[users at bb.net] Re-add v0.8's setProgress feature? (was: Parse log output and display computed information)

[Pierre Tardy]

Hi Andreas,
There is no plan AFAIK of such re-implementation. Patches are welcome as
usual.
I think this is a nice feature.
This would require a model change in the database and in the data/message
model, so that the progress is available live in the UI.
As a first step, this could however abuse the state_string in order to
store setProgress values

Pierre
