Description

Are we able to expose this somehow, maybe pending tasks? At the moment it just runs until finished, but I'm hoping there may be a way to figure out some kind of progress percentage, even a rough one.

I realise this is all a little vague, but I don't really know if it's possible, just that it'd be nice to have :p
