Feature Request: Add progress indicators for long-running background tasks

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Oct 23, 2025 by Ziforge Closed Oct 27, 2025

Problem:
When running long operations like zip compression in background bash shells, there's no way to see progress. Users have to repeatedly ask "is it done yet?"

Suggested Solution:
Add progress indicators for background tasks, especially for:

  • File compression (zip, tar, etc)
  • Large file transfers
  • Long compilations
  • Any background Bash command

Benefits:

  • Better user experience
  • Reduces need for repeated status checks
  • Users can estimate completion time

Use Case:
Compressing 18GB folder - took 15 minutes with no visibility into progress.
