Summary	0006740: Show seek progress in MM taskbar icon
Description	Several video applications have the ability to show the progress of a playing movie/audio/etc. in the Win 7 taskbar. It would be a nice addition to MM. If it were implemented the seekbar could be removed from the aero peek window (IMO this implementation is visually better). See attached image for how it looks for Media player classic.

jiri 2010-11-24 14:23 administrator ~0021452	We currently use it for progress of some operations, which is probably more useful than this. I don't think that we could join these two, since it would be too confusing.

rusty 2010-11-24 14:39 administrator ~0021454	I'm not sure, but perhaps multiple status bars can show up (e.g. stacked vertically; green for playback and blue for file operations)?

jiri 2010-11-24 16:53 administrator ~0021461	No, this isn't possible, just one progress. Setting as Not Fixable.

zvezdan 2010-11-25 01:50 updater ~0021467	You could take a look at my suggestion with the small progress bar near to the mouse cursor similar to Total Commander. You could use such cursor for progress of some operation and the Task bar for displaying of seek progress as it is implemented in another media players.

~~stephen_platt~~ 2011-02-09 23:18 developer ~0022985	Decided not to implement. Closing.
