Description

It would great if the node bulk operations (especially delete) used the Drupal 6.x batch API, so you could get a progress indication on the deletion and wouldn't risk the process timing out. This would be especially helpful since VBO allows you to select *all* the nodes in a given view.

It does. Check the Views settings, Bulk Operations style, gear icon.

Ok, great. I tried it out and it works perfectly. Could this be added to the documentation (README.txt)?

The README.txt file points to the module's page on Drupal.org.

Yes, but the module page doesn't say how to use the Batch API. Would it be possible to add that to the FAQ?
