i've been using thunderbird for my desktop email pkg for over 5 yrs. now & i use the 'save selected messages> PDF format' for all these years, recently (within the last month or so) i noticed that when i perform this function, it used to show me down in the far bottom left corner of the screen how many files it was saving & which one it was doing right now, when finished it would just disappear, well now that 'counter' that i depended on to show me the progress of the conversion isn't there anymore??? it tells me in the lower right bottom how many files i've selected out of how many files in the folder but no where does it show me the progress of the function, i usually have to go to my folder that i'm saving them to to make sure they are all downloaded before i delete them, a bit cumbersome, does anyone know why this has disappeared & when??? can i get it back again?? thanks for your time

Saving a set of messages with ImportExportTools NG 11.2 in TB 91 does show the progress counter in the Status Bar, if the messages are saved as text, html or eml format, but not for pdf. I suggest you submit this to the Issues page for the add-on:

https://github.com/thundernest/import-export-tools-ng/issues

Tests indicate the messages are saved as pdf files, despite the missing counter.
