Interesting idea, thanks. Each pass processes a certain kind of area; 
non-tried, non-trimmed... So showing the total size of the corresponding 
areas at the start of each pass may give a good estimate of the amount 
of work done by the current pass.

Meanwhile you can estimate the amount of work remaining for a given pass 
looking at the current size of the corresponding areas. For example the 
size of non-tried while copying, or the size of non-trimmed while trimming.

Best regards,
Antonio.
