And where would you like this progess bar to be displayed? You can already see how much has been hashed by refreshing your share and opening your file list, and it says something in the status bar when a file is done hashing.

Sure, a progress bar, in theory, could keep track of the number of files in the HashManager's queue, and treat them equally. This would give the UI problem that the progress bar would move erratically (1 100mb file != 1 1kb file).

If you were serious about the feature, you'd have put it into the feature tracker, as the topic of this forum says. :wink:
