Progress Indicator

Problem

Installating one or more big mods in EET can take up to an hour and more. Even on NVMe drive and a quite beefy CPU. Sword Coast Stratagems is a great (or just not) great example. The user gets no idea at all about how much time is left for the installation to be finished.

Solution

Some indicator like a progress bar with informative labeling about which component of total in the install sequence is installing right now.

Should it be impossible to determine progressed component within installer logic, specific log messages could be interpreted (like "Installing [Component] [Version]").

It's impossible to determine how long it would take for a single component to install because of the dynamic nature of resource processing. The SCS is great to showcase: if you install SCS alone, it will take ~20 min, if you install it in a mega-installation, it will take 20 hours. It's the nature of the weidu itself: you can't measure the time of processing resources if the amount of resources is random for each mod component, depending on the actual regex formulas.
