During programmable filter execution the progress bar starts to update but, after a certain percentage, the update doesn’t work anymore because the application is busy.  
The filter works fine but the user is not able to see the progress bar updating.  
Is there a way to let the progress bar updating even I’m interacting with Paraview GUI or with other applications?

Thank you

Alberto

I’m afraid not. We do have some plans for threading the GUI in the future, but it has not been confirmed.
