8 - Aggregate status (& progress where supported) bar

[rnicholus]

With total bytes, etc In addition to the per-file progress bar. This should probably include other aggregate information, such as total # of files, # of failures (or some sort of # by status), etc.

After some thought, I'm not quite sure how I should implement this exactly. There are so many different paths I can take. I realize that this will need to be highly customizable to ensure that most FineUploader mode users who want such a feature can easily make use of this and customize it to fit their needs without writing their own. I think, at the very least, I need to spend another release thinking about this. However, I would really appreciate some input from Fine Uploader users. I'd like to hear some UX-related ideas. I'll solicit users via Twitter, the groups support forum, and perhaps Geekli.st for input.

If I don't receive any input at all, or any +1's/^5s, I may just kill this feature. I'll let the users tell me what they want for this one...

Need to discuss this with the graphic designers at Widen before I proceed. Moving to 3.7, but likely will be pushed farther back.

The plan is to provide an onTotalProgress callback, along with support for an optional aggregate progress bar in Fine Uploader UI.

• onTotalProgress callback with two params: totalUploaded, totalSize. Both integers.
• callback will be invoked whenever an individual file's progress changes (increase in totalUploaded value)
• ...whenever a file is added (increase in totalSize value)
• ...whenever a file is canceled (reduction in totalUploaded & totalSize values)
• Total progress bar in UI will be hidden once it reaches 100% or once there are no files in progress.
• Total progress represents only the current "batch" of files. Once there are no more files in progress & all files have uploaded successfully or the failed ones have been canceled, the progress bar will be reset internally.
