During operation, the last item in a list displays an operation progress. The following information is displayed:

p % completed. N of T files in F folders have been checked. M matched file(s) found. S of TS processed.

Where

p
A percentage of the operation completed. It is always zero until the total number of files that match criteria (folder list and mask) is determined.
N
A number of files processed so far.
T
A total number of files to process. This is an amount of all files that match the mask and folder list filters. If Hex Editor Neo is still scanning folders, the “(…)” is added after the current total number of files. The percentage p is always zero in this case. Folder scanning and pattern searching/replacing are always performed concurrently.
F
A total number of folders to process.
M
A total number of matched files.
S
A number of bytes processed.
TS
A total number of bytes to process.
