Severity: wishlist
When secure-delete programs are ran in verbose mode, the progress bar
that shows up is bad. I suggest to either replace it, or add another
flag, or use double verbose flag (-vv) for more clear output.
I mostly run srm (secure remove) and for big files; to only have
asterisks to be added for every passing gives barley any indication of
progress. Not much difference in 12 asterisks (************) and 13
asterisks (*************) for example, so little progress.
I made a modification to sdel-lib.c to printf("%i ", ++progress);
instead of printf("*");, where progress is an int. I find that this is
better, but not elegant.
