Progress Bar? How To Activate

Is there a progress bar to show what the percentage of the file is done? If so… How to activate?

No, at least not on DSP controllers. From what I understand LightBurn sends the entirely of the file to the controller to process. The controller does not report back progress to LightBurn.

There is a progress indicator on g-code devices, however.

Unfortunately, there is no progress bar that does this. The existing bar shows the transmission of the instructions for the laser. To estimate how long it will take, there is a small countdown next to it.
I have asked something similar here. ([Bug] Wong Values at Progress Bar)
The problem with an accurate progress bar is that lightburn doesn’t know exactly where the laser is now. Most lasers don’t transfer that without slowing down the whole process. That is why it is not currently displayed.
