How do I create UX experience of progress? For example my plugin performs a heavy task of generating a lot of files and on the UI it looks like the plugin doesn’t work and then after 30 seconds the files randomly appear. Any plugins I can check out as reference?

As a user I would expect to see a progress bar that shows the progress.
And an infinite progress bar if the remaining time / steps is unknown
