I half-implemented this in master branch now [1] by showing in the
status bar the total size of data to be uploaded, and I wonder whether
it actually makes sense or not to go ahead with the second part of
showing that kind of information as well during the upload process, thus
I'm asking for advice here, to see what you people think about it.

My point is that knowing in advance the total amount of data to be
uploaded could be enough for someone to have an idea (in advance) of how
long the upload process will take. At least for, that would be ok since,
after all, once I hit the upload button I usually forget about frogr
until it finishes, so having the upload dialog continuously showing
something like "Uploading X / Y MB" wouldn't be very useful for my use
cases.

But for sure other will have other use cases where it perhaps could make
a lot of sense, I don't know.

So... what do you people think? I'm leaving an screenshot of how frogr
looks now I added this extra pieve of information in the status bar:

Btw, feel free to add yourself to the CC of the bug tracking this issue
