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.
