uninstallation progress
hello when i read and remove files from install.log my uninstallation progress bar just goes up and down from 0% to 100% so fast you can't really tell anything from it.

so here's my question

can i somehow see what part of the install.log i am currently reading from and somehow make out a %?

like if I'm on line 300 out of 1000, I know I'm about 30% through the uninstallation process.

and also I'm wondering if I can set the progress bar at this %, and if not - can I simply remove the progress bar? cause I don't want anyone to get an epilepsy attack due to my blinking uninstallation progress bar! :)


You can use the RealProgress plugin to set the progress bar position.

To stop the blinking you can also put the code in a function and call that function from a section.
