I have several scripts that would benefit from that.
One, for example, zips my PSDs, makes a thumbnail, creates the html
tags and uploads them through ftp.
Each step takes some time, specially uploading, and being able to flow
the progress is great.
I use a slightly hacked version of CocoaDialog for the progress bar to
happen in the background.
I run 2 instances of CocoaDialog simultaneously, one overlapping the
other, thus "updating" the bubble. I increased the icon size limit so
that would fit a bar and changed the plist setting to LSBackgroundOnly
so that it doesn't change the focus. It kind of works, but it's an
ugly hack. I think Growl could do much better.

I also have an rsync script that basically warns “Back up started” and
“Back up completed”.
I guess I could pop a dialog every 1/10th of the way, but I'd much
rather be able display a proper progress bar.

Why is showing a progress bar useful?

IMO, if it doesn't do a thing it shouldn't be there, right?
I don't know what Growl is for or not, but being able to show a
progress bar
in a bezel like unobtrusive way is a very useful thing.

Hi, does anyone knows how to use this option?
It doesn't work. Growl doesn't support progress indications in
notifications.
I think Ingmar added API for it, but Growl has never actually
supported it
and it's always been our stance that we will not. Growl is for
telling you
when things are done (or failed), not when things are not finished
yet.
