Show progress bar for the GToJSONConverter
The converter looks quite unresponsive, especially while converting large projects. Adding a progress bar to fix this issue.
Implementation
Changes are made in GenerateHTML.vi to show the progress bar and the path of the file being converted. The front panel has been resized to show these, and is opened up as a dialog window when the converter is run.
How does one cancel the conversion? Previously, I believe they could hit the 'Abort Run' button.

That hadn't occurred to me. Would it be all right if I changed the subVI to be abortable like so?
But this would also mean the front panel of that subVI doesn't close after I abort it... maybe I should look for a different way to do this.
The title bar is distracting. You could probably make it like a one button dialog which aborts the vi when the button is clicked. You'll have to don your UX hat and figure out the workflows one could go through.
