hi B --- Instead of showing "Loading" with a rotating circle, I would show "Running Preprocessor" and then "Loading." It would be even better if it could show how far it has gotten in the preprocessor and loading (0%, 20%, ...).

    There's no way for marked to know the progress of an external process. In the vast majority of cases processing should be almost instant anyway…

    Figured. Then just "processing external" and later "rendering"

    actually, if you can pick off messages from STDERR, the filter could indicate its progress itself. you would simply have to place it on the window.

    true. it's more of a debugging tool for filter writers.
