The way I see this is an extension of JSObserver, where it could apply some sort of colorization over tiles that are pending re-render. File "progress.json" would contain a list of tiles to apply the color to. Not sure how feasible this is though...

I agree that this would be cool, but I don't think it is very practical. Even fairly small maps can have a large number of tiles to update which could add significant JS processing time per JSObserver data request.

hmm... maybe a separate file then, and its not on by default? maybe put a checkbox for it next to the "x of y tiles" display.

This would require writing to and updating a large JSON file, (Based on figures in an older thread, ~5MB) which would eat quite a bit of bandwidth. You would also be adding the overhead of passing the file names back to an observer and writing the JSON file to disk.

Well... maybe have the option to just highlight the current working tile, for those who don't want to take the performance hit as much. Either way, it should be something the viewer opts in to, so that only those who really want to know would be pulling it down.

Writing a 5MB file every 10 seconds (or whatever you think a sane default is) shouldn't be that much of an issue I'd think... and if it was, they could just leave it off or turn down the update frequency

Although this feature suggestion was created on the main brain for Overviewer, the functionality it is referencing is something that we think should more be opened along an Addons line. To avoid bloat on the main branch we have really considered the JSObserver something that isn't in the main repo of Overviewer. I am going to close this request, but i'll open a new issue on the addons branch referencing this one for future discussion.
