Progress Indicator for extraction of .7z .rar .zip roms

Issue #555 resolved
Former user created an issue

Progress bar to show how progress of archive extraction (added in recent beta). Some large roms takes up to 2 minutes to extract, and progress indication would be very helpful.

Should be available in BigBox also.

    I would like to use LaunchBox to access my compressed games on a network drive, which may or may not be mounted over a wireless network connection. These compressed games include PlayStation games and GameCube games, which take some time to download and decompress. (Hopefully, you are able to decompress using a streaming approach, so these two things happen in parallel! :) )

    I will personally purchase the premium version if you add this feature!

    I would bump this too. A progress bar helps users from raging and confusion over miss-identification as a crash.

    Voted.

    RocketLauncher covers this feature. In RL there is a default screen for this but theres also alot of community support where users have skinned the progress meter, background, and sound effects for each system. It looks great. If we can import the assets we currently have in RL that would cover a lot of work but this is RL's expertise. Support for RL would be my personal preference.

    Currently there is nothing at all during this time in regular Launchbox. Pleeeeeeeze, adding something, anything =)

    Please implement. Also change the option to be on the platform vs the emulator; as a work around I have added the emulator twice but that is not a great solution.
