Sometimes when I save albums, Picard apparently has to re-write the FLAC, making the save take up to several minutes per album. Picard is almost non-responsive while doing this, and Windows struggles with even showing Picard when I Alt-Tab (which I do a bit too often, but I can’t resist checking in on the progress…). It would be really helpful if the program icon in the Windows taskbar showed some kind of progress. For example, the Musicbee icon has some kind of green overlay showing progress which is really helpful.

Allow me to append a piggy-bag request:
When processes take a very long time or don’t seem to progress, and you want to end them, currently the only way is to close Picard completely.
An ‘end processes’ button that terminates and resets all running processes would be a little more elegant?
Turns out it was rather easy to add this progress display and it works surprisingly well. Also a similar behavior is available on many Linux desktop environments. Code changes are done, here are some screenshots:
