No apology needed! I like your test Macro for the Progress Bar by the way. I've also been playing around with the best way to use this new feature.
What's really nice about this Progress Bar Action is that it sits in the same macro and doesn't involve separate sub macros and it looks like it's really flexible. If you call it more than once in a Macro the first instance is taken over by the next one so, it is a true progress bar.
