Show progress

[roger125]

Dear Tyrrrz,
the 2.4.1.0 version works like a charm, amazing!
and just a enhancement suggestion expected:
show progress bar(0%->1%->99%->100%) when exporting, bcz currently there's no such kind of indication, to show how much the progress is already, makes it confusing if it got stuck or are going its normal way.
Thanks for the consideration.

There's no way to show progress, because there's no way to know how many messages there are

[roger125]

ok, if there's something that can be noticeable what's it working might be a bit clearer, thanks for the prompt reply.

[Tyrrrz]

Hmm. On another thought, it could show progress by, say, days of parsed messages.

[roger125]

wow....really nice tip for that method, yup, it definitely would help to notice the whole progress.
thumbs up!

You could also subtract the message timestamp from the channel creation date for a rough estimate

[Tyrrrz]

That's not a bad idea. Currently it works more accurately by getting the first and last messages before the rest.
