In theory this is a good idea but I think if it does make it into the code it should be an option. Just imagine the traffic it will generate if it has to continuously poll the nessus engine in order to get this info.

Is there any way that the UIs could, if for instance, there are 10 parallel plugins going have 10 bar's showing the progress of those 10 parallel plugins? Of course with x parallel plugins you'd have x progress bars, and you'd have to have an way for a plugin to tell the system it's x% done with it's job. Like I said just a thought.
