Comment 6 for bug 110937

Glad Markus' patch looks clean.

Showing how far bughelper's total operation has progressed would be fine for me, rather than each attachment.

Maybe the progress bar could show overall progress on commands that deal with multiple bugs in a % of bugs completed form, and then on commands dealing with only one bug report show progress as a % of total bytes downloaded that will need to be in the attachments. If that's too much for this first run at the progress bar, I'm fine with it. Maybe a future release could incorporate some of these ideas too.

The verbosity I was planning on was for more of an end-user that's using bughelper straight from the command line in the form of the progress bar. That bar only serves as a notification to users of how far that run has progressed, and obviously wouldn't mean much to those looking at output of scripts like the one on your site, Daniel. My gut feeling is that the progress bar should be enabled by default for those that use bughelper manually, but with an option to disable it for output to scripts. Notification of progress is best suited to users manually using the tool, which I feel is the majority currently, so it should be enabled by default.

Notice of exactly what files from what bugs were downloaded when wasn't really in the scope of what I had originally proposed in the progress bar, and I don't really see a need for it. I was just wanting to see a display of progress as I was waiting for the run to finish.
