I checked the man page, I see nothing about the show progress option. You can bet I'll try that next time tho. I saw a video of someone else using it and it is a lot easier than having to switch Konsoles and type in more commands. Thanks for sharing that option, that isn't in the freaking manual I might add. This is one time where telling someone to read the manual wouldn't work. ROFL Awesome!! Dale :-) :_)
