Hello,
I call usually wget from my script in entirely quiet mode however it
would be useful if wget could still show the progress -- currently
wget either shows a lot of information (and progress) or does not
show anything. In short something like this:
--progress=bar -q -nv
is understood as
-q -nv
Please treat such arguments (the former example) as stating show
only progress and nothing else.
- -q -nv is a nonsensical combination; they say contradictory things. One
says to emit only a little output; the other says to emit no output at all.
A progress bar for -nv has already been requested, and is tracked at
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?22448
I don't mind putting this into 1.12 if someone wants to write the patch;
otherwise, I probably won't get to it for some time. I've got some
doubts as to whether -nv --progress=bar is the right way to achieve
this: is that the behavior we want if the user specified progress=bar
in their wgetrc file and then gave the -nv command-line option? Then
again, who puts progress=bar in their wgetrc?
