A small suggestion before you stop touching this part of the codebase: do
not include the directory-prefix (when set) in the progressbar. Its addition
may cause the filename piece to marquee (it's not uncommon that they
get long), and it's unnecessary, as the goal of adding --directory-prefix
was precisely to prefix every filename with that.

Attached is a patch that will eliminate the directory prefix from the filename displayed in the progress bar.

I've also added another aesthetic change where if the number of characters scrolled is less than 5 (random number I chose), then the filename will not be scrolled. This prevents an annoying corner case where only one or two characters are scrolled creating a very disturbing effect.
