Visual progress of Develop Settings

With CS5/Bridge, I made a custom Develop Settings (shows under Edit-Develop Settings), so that I could apply a universal tweak to all the RAW files.
For some reason, when I select all the files I want, and apply that setting, it only does it to some of the files, seemingly randomly, and there is no visual
indicator of the prorgress of the batch application. Why are the settings not being applied to every one of the selected files? Why is there is no visual
progress indicator for the batch process? Hope I am being somewhat clear.
