Hello!
I've been using ddrescue (command line) for the past 3 years and I'm
completely in love with it. Such a powerful piece of software :D
I thought it might be useful to have some sort of visual feedback (progress
bar) that looks like this:
[image: Inline image 1]
The bars mean that those areas were rescued successfully. The empty spaces
mean that those areas are still pending (non-tried). May be there could
also be broken bars *¦**¦**¦**¦**¦**¦**¦* that mean that those areas have
failed and were left for later passes.
Let me know what you think.
It would be nice to have such progress bar. The problem is that it is
difficult, and probably very inefficient, to map potentially thousands
of areas into 80 characters. Just think that every character in such
progress bar would typically represent the status of millions of sectors.
BTW, the broken bar character is not in the portable character set, so
it can't be used by ddrescue.
Maybe the bar could be made of numbers representing the fraction
completed (from 1 to 9), which becomes a '+' or '-' after all the
sectors represented by that character have been tried.
As always, feedback is welcome.
Best regards,
Antonio.
