Lockscreen and progress bar

[Terry Judd]

I was thinking you would omit the lock screen altogether. Or if things are too slow without it can you move to a different card while all that other stuff is happening?

Hello Terry,

Yes I thought of that. The problem is that "lock screen" hinders
the progress bar to be updated while the loop is running.
I also tried to shortly "break" the lock screen by inserting
   unlock screen
   lock screen
within the loop, hoping that it would update the display, but
to no avail.

Thank you anyway for the idea.
