About Progress Monitors [message #444607]

When you start a job you get a dialog Progress window showing the overall work advance and subtasks running.

Additionally it displays an overall progress monitor at the right of the status line.

Is there a way to start a foreground job without the dialog progress window leaving just the progress monitor in the status line?

I'm not sure what you mean by a foreground job, but the dialog will only
appear if the job is a "user job" (Job#setUser(true)). If the job is
not a user job (the default case), then a dialog is not opened. If the
job is a user job, the "always run in background" preference is
consulted to determine if a dialog should be opened.
