Render progress preview

[Anonymous]

I would like to have a render progress preview when rendering locally. This does not have to be a fully featured frame buffer (that would be a separate request) but to be able to draw more information as to which areas are rendering at any one time would be helpful. There is nothing quite as misleading as a percentage bar for a non-linear process.

You can actually get this up by turning on clustering and just use "localhost" to render with. Then it brings up a framebuffer preview window. There is probably another way to do it but that is one way i know.

But yes it would be nice to just have the option to show the render preview normally without this workaround method.
