UX: Resolve needs better UI Feedback & Error Reporting!

I'm creating this thread to consolidate discussion of the numerous areas where Resolve is currently deficient in providing the user adequate feedback in regards to things that the application really should be informing the user of in a useful or actionable way. improving these deficiencies would go a long way towards a better user experience for both new users and veteran users.
Here's a preliminary list, off the top of my head:
Missing Fonts: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=100236
Progress updates for long processes: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=101166
Media Management errors: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=77057
Render Queue errors: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=121227
Shared Nodes: Warn when attempting to modify locked nodes: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=118540
Disk Space warnings: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=121910
Missing dependencies (LUTs, etc): viewtopic.php?f=33&t=103098
Warning about Offline Media in timeline when rendering: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=102245
Autosave operations: viewtopic.php?t=118119#p663981
