I am not totally sure what you are asking for. Maybe its me. The nvda.ini file has these available settings.
[[progressBarUpdates]]
reportBackgroundProgressBars = False
progressBarOutputMode = both
speechPercentageInterval = 10
beepPercentageInterval = 1
beepMinHZ = 110

Or are you talking about something else entirely?

Well, this is exactly what I'm talking about. These are not familiar to novice users, and these settings are not present in the new .ini files that come with NVDA. So I propose the user guide list these features.

Hi,
Are there reasons for changing progress bar output intervals? Also, would you like to see just one option for speech or two for both speech and beeps?
Technical: For anyone interested in this, you should look at modifying object presentation dialog and test it against progress bars such as download progress in Firefox. Also, be careful to watch for out of bounds error (the maximum should be a small value, say 10; I propose values of 1 to 10).

Wait, I am a bit confused about the scope of this ticket. Do we want to add a GUI option to allow users to customize the intervals for progress bar updates, or is this a documentation related enhancement for certain advanced tasks? Also, are we referring to time related intervals or percentage related intervals, and is our discussion around progress bar updates conveyed via speech, that indicated via beeps, or both? Clarifications appreciated. CC @josephsl
