Description Ohad Basan 2014-03-17 14:38:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
a run of image-uploader can take a considerable amount of time.
the user can't tell what's the progress or status of the process besides looking at the operating system resources consumption.
I think a progress bar could be nice here.

There really should be some sort of indication that something good is happening. The docs ended up recommending -v in their commands so that users can see any sort of activity. Having looked at -v output during an upload, it's simply comforting to see text displayed during the process, the output itself doesn't mean anything to me.

wget, sftp, scp, etc have progress indicators, it would be much nicer if we could do so with our uploader as well.

Yes... progress reporting need some work.
Comment 6 Sandro Bonazzola 2014-10-28 12:27:04 UTC 
A good solution is to move to rsync for both ssh and nfs file transfer: we gain progress bar, unique command for both protocols, and sparse file handling.
