Comment 3 for bug 943799

I don't see it as a bug, but I agree it would be a nice enhancement if that would be possible.
The unity Launcher shows the openshot window and for some other programs it shows small status notifications as well.

* running file transfers show a progress bar
* thunderbird shows the number of unread mails

it would be great to show the progress of a running export there as well.
Sure: it's not that much work to open the window again, but video export often takes a long time, and you would like to more or less forget it for a while, but to be possible to get the current progress state at one glance.
