Total time remaining when exporting multiple files

It would be very helpful if, when exporting multiple files, I could see the total time remaining for the project and not just the time on the current track. Also, it would be helpful to know which track is currently exporting. I sometimes export hundreds of files and have no idea where I am most of the time.

Thanks!

When exporting raw data like a WAV file, it is totally doable to calculate when the export will finish and count backward to show you the remaining time.

When exporting compressed data like an MP3 or LAME, the data rate varies, and calculating the end time would just be a loose estimate, thus the remaining time would be as well.

I’ve had fairly good luck comparing the time so far to the position in the data and using that to calculate the end time, but it’s just an estimate which varies as the data is written. The remaining time estimate usually jumps around a lot, but gets better as more data is written.
