--- Comment #2 from Duncan <1i5t5.dun...@cox.net> ---
Not sure kdialog's actually actively maintained any longer (tho it is kept
building and working, including running as a native wayland binary and current
qt6 porting work). For more on that see bug #455994 which I just filed:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455994
Meanwhile, I've not had occasion to use --progressbar and wasn't aware of this
bug until the pre-bug-file search for the above, but as it hasn't been
mentioned yet, kdialog should now ship with a kdialog_progress_helper binary
(depending on your distro packaging, of course), which I /assume/ does what its
name indicates, and that it's "the modern way" to deal with kdialog
progressbars.
Unfortunately it's entirely undocumented AFAICT, nothing on the tutorial (which
uses the bare kdialog --progressbar), nothing in the README, no manpages or kde
handbook entries for kdialog at all, and it doesn't even have the --help output
that kdialog itself has. And it's an elf binary so can't just open it in a
text editor like a script to see what it does. So it seems it's "read the
source" (if you can) or try your luck with experiments. =:^(
