When building a snap with several parts using -v, it's usually not possible to know which part is being built due to the long text output. An idea (with a much-to-be-desired proposal here: https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/pull/4217 ) would be to allow to show the progress text in the window titlebar, by using the ANSI codes for that.
A proposal would be to add a new boolean named parameter to the progress method, that, when set to True, will not only show the string in the screen, but also set it as the window title.
