When pushing paths to remote machines, I sometimes miss the line: "copying 2321 paths..." as it gets scrolled up by a sea of individual path copies. It'd be lovely to have nom read that line, and indicate the total number of copies it's going to need to do/remaining amount, even if just per single machine.

Yeah, a very sensible request. I vaguely remember initially trying to do this, which was impossible for some reason. I think the "copying 2321 paths" message often lacks too much context to tell from where to where copies are planned.
