Feature Description

Taken from Dexxter Clark's review on Deejay Plaza

When you first start the software, you are prompted to select the music directory on your computer.
This process can take while, however the software lacks user feedback about the length of this process.

I would expect a progress bar or a background process to take care of this task.
But the software seems to freeze up and you can do nothing else for a couple of minutes.
Even the Windows task manager says that the software is not responding.

Just a simple running number would be enough to communicate to the user: “I haven’t crashed”.

I've dived a bit into the scanner code for #15320 and it seems all RecursiveScanDirectoryTask and ImportFilesTask could report their number of found/queued directories and tracks, so we can show the overall progress in LibraryScannerDlg.
