So we (or rather my employer; being lazy, I was content to just have the nonlinear progress bar ;-)) wanted a way for the user to see what steps had been performed and what steps still needed to be performed and how far through the current step we'd gotten. What we came up with was a sort of "segmented progress bar". So if there were 5 steps, we'd have 5 little progress bars lined up next to one other, with a small gap between them. If we were halfway through the third step, then the first two progress bars would be filled, the third half-filled, and the last two empty. We wanted to label each little progress bar with a short piece of text describing the step, e.g. "copy", "encrypt", etc. For now we've placed the labels below the progress bars, but it looks cooler with the text inside the progress bar.

You may want to take this to the mac-gui-dev Yahoo group. There's lots of people there who'd love to offer various usability suggestions etc.


That said, have you thought about doing it the way Installer does it? With a bullet list at the left, and then a progress bar at the right in its own pane?
