STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Render project
2. Sit there and figure out if your quality settings will give you an acceptable overall file size

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no percentage displayed of frames rendered, just the total count which seems strange. If there was, that and checking the current size already written could be used to estimate final size. Or kdenlive could do that for me and display it like the remaining time estimated. Instead, I seem to have to guess how the pixels drawn of the progress bar translate to percentage to be able to make a rough guess on final file size. It's hard to estimate it like that. Especially for render jobs taking hours, having an idea of the final file size early on is important.

EXPECTED RESULT
Display percentage, and maybe also projected estimated final file size.
