Originally created by @g0n5ch0r3k on GitHub.

I have a web installer script that I wrote on my own, which works similarly to Installomator, but it also shows the download progress in % on the progress bar within a small swiftDialog box. I still use that policy in the setup manager for apps not in Installomator, just without swiftDialog active. I was wondering if it’s possible to feed the progress bar with information from a script running in a policy like that, like the download status or anything that is provided.

So can we get a command file that we can feed? Every time the setup manager moves to the next step, it could overwrite the last update with its current state.

Since Installomator can do a similar thing, we have been considering this. However, there are other things that add more utility that we want to implement first.
