Tracking of archiving progress

[acierto]

Is it any way how it is possible to track the progress of archiving?
Looking at documentation and skimming the code I can't find out how to do it.

In case of really missing this feature would be nice to have it, otherwise having quite large volumes to archive you are not aware what is going on

archive.pointer()

pointer() and the entry event can help with logging. making a progress bar or such would be much harder since streams are variable. if you know the file count you could do the math on each entry event to get percent of files complete etc.

You can do like this if you want:

archive.on("progress", (progress) => {
    console.log("TOTAL", progress.entries.total, "PROCESSED", progress.entries.processed)
})

This no longer works, processed and total are the same, on MacOS anyway

TOTAL 2808 PROCESSED 2808

Looks like this is mentioned in #475
