Progress bar on lightburn

I noticed when I hit play on lightburn it will not show me the progress of the job anywhere, I have to look directly on the display of my laser to see. Am I missing something or does this feature not exist?

Look to the top-left of the ‘Laser’ window for status updates.

The progress bar does not show the actual run time for your job. You can see an estimated run time in the Preview Window. (Alt-P)

Thanks for the clarity @soniclab, correct. When starting or sending a job, the Progress Bar shows the time to stream the job to the controller. To see an estimate of the processing time, a well tuned ‘Preview’ is the trick here.
