Has there been any progress on this? I have tried using it in a manner similar the documentation (but for @threads) and couldn’t get this to work. I am currently using julia-1.2.0. A plain

```julia
@showprogress 1 "Computing..." Threads.@threads for i in 1:100 
      #do something      
end

```

doesn’t seem to work but

```julia
@showprogress 1 "Computing..." @distributed () for i in 1:100 
      #do something      
end

```

does.

FYI, an alternative is a combination of [`Transducers.withprogress`](https://tkf.github.io/Transducers.jl/dev/manual/#Transducers.withprogress), `reduce`, and one of the [progress monitor packages](https://github.com/JunoLab/ProgressLogging.jl). I implemented a simple monitor [ConsoleProgressMonitor.jl](https://github.com/tkf/ConsoleProgressMonitor.jl) wrapping ProgressMeter.jl.

Thanks to some great work 🎆 by @ianshmean, ProgressMeter 1.2 has just been released and supports threading. See the documentation section [here](https://github.com/timholy/ProgressMeter.jl#progress-meters-for-tasks-with-a-pre-determined-number-of-steps).
