Some complex workflows like the SWSI analysis have multiple nested loops. There are now progress bars on the main UI to show progress on the overall command file and within a commands. However, when nested For commands are used, commands are reprocessed and so the overall progress bar jumps back and forth. It is also difficult to know the overall progress because no information is presented on which item in the For is being processed.
My recommendation is to create some type of progress monitor that perhaps pops up a dialog and shows for loop iterators. In particular, knowing the outer loop (or two) will help understand progress.
It may be possible to make the main progress bar more sophisticated.
