Then set your JSINCLUDE enviroment variable to the path of this directory, e.g. /c/Program Files/Photoshop-Javascript-Tools/

Progressor.jsxinc: A progress bar UI

The Progressor allows you to watch your script proceed. You can use it in your code like this:

#include Progressor.jsxinc

for (var i = 0; i < data.length && !progressor.isCancelRequested(); i++) {
  progressor.progress(i,data.length); // update progress bar
  
  // ...
}

progressor.done();

If you don't have a simple loop like this, you can use a custom way to call progress.
