Clipfix process dialog counts up rather than down
Last modified: 2018-08-20 11:51:46 UTC
When applying Clipfix to a medium to long selection, the 'Remaining time' is initially very low and gradually increases as the audio is processed. There's a more general technical difficulty in displaying accurate times for Nyquist plug-ins, but in Clipfix it is MUCH worse than it should be. Assigned to myself.

Yes the progress dialogue displayed values are much improved and time remaining counts down. On Windows the disk I/O was very high while the progress bar shot immediately to half way and time remaining continued to count up. As soon as time remaining counted down again, disk I/O dropped back to normal.

Disk I/O is steady and low in the fixed code.
