There needs to be a correlation between your min/max progress bar setting,
and the step value. But it looks like you set up the range based on an
input start/end frame and then base the progress bar step on the number of
selections. That will make your progress bar hang around at a low value if
you have a large frame range input and only a few selections.
Since Maya is not doing anything magical with your method calls to know
when to increment your progress, that means you need to come up with a
better fitting min/max and an appropriate time to step.
I would suggest first getting your selection. Let's say there are 10 items.
Then you can take the number if steps that you have to do in each loop and
multiply your selection.
Max = len(sel) * 5
Now you can call step=1 after each of those 5 operations in your loop. The
progress bar will increment based on your real work.
