Progress Indication While Syncing

This is a minor point, but it would be very helpful if Zotero standalone could provide some finer-grained information about its syncing progress. Syncing can take a really long time sometimes, and I often wonder if it has crashed. Mouse-over will often give some details, but not always. An always-on-top indicator with info on what it's doing and how much data is being transferred would be welcome.

(I've been promoting Zotero in my university department and have four converts in the past two months!)

Data syncing rarely should take more than a couple of minutes - if that. There is a progress bar for file syncing.
The structure of data syncing will change for the next major Zotero version and the way it should work much better for large syncs, so that might very well remove the need for a progress bar.
