No, I really think it needs an explanatory paragraph for some effects. Function plotter requires a selected rectangle (or did last time I checked). Something short like that could perhaps fit into the status bar. But Envelope (formerly Summer's Night) would likely require a short paragraph to explain. With no explanation there is very little likelyhood that a user will ever figure these out.
Okay, that's so much easier than what I was doing :) I'll add it as a parameter type. That way you have some control of where it gets placed in the dialog.
Worst case scenario, how about a small dialog with a cancel button that reported the name of the effect and says that it is processing?
That can be done, but the cancel button won't work as the execution thread is given to the script. But, it might look good :)
