 Grimmauld (any/all) | anyways, enough ranting, this is becoming wildly offtopic for nom | 23:31:30 |

 vivekanandan_ks | Hi All,
I'm using nh, so using nom indirectly . I love them ❤️.
It's both informative and cool at the same time❤️.

| vivekanandan_ks | Not sure whether others have suggested this , just curious.
Is adding an ascii progress bar like things is good?
Like one for downloads and one for builds. | 06:42:24 |
 K900 | This was literally added a week ago for downloads | 07:23:38 |
 maralorn | I removed the one for builds again after popular demand. | 08:10:35 |
| maralorn | Because it was bad. | 08:11:17 |
| maralorn | I could add one for the total. Will consider that. | 08:12:01 |
| maralorn | Maybe I just should have used a proper uri parsing library. | 09:18:08 |

| Emma [it/its] | i wonder if this is a reasonable way to detect finished builds as fallback? | 17:20:29 |

| Emma [it/its] | because i'd assume that nix builds dont start running until all of their inputs are finished? | 17:20:53 |
| maralorn | Is this on nom main? | 17:23:18 |
| Emma [it/its] | thats on my server, so no | 17:23:34 |
| maralorn | Ah, okay. Then this is probably already fixed. | 17:23:50 |
| Emma [it/its] | ah | 17:23:55 |
| maralorn | I mean it’s not perfect on main, but definitely different. | 17:24:15 |
| maralorn | But yeah, we could of course use that heuristic. However I’d prefer to have a correct logic instead of paving over the occurences where the user can tell that something is afoot. | 17:25:29 |
| vivekanandan_ks | Oh. I'm using unstable channel. Still not seeing it when I run the nh commands.
🤔Maybe not upstreamed yet in nh?
Btw where the progress bar will be shown?
| 17:52:42 |
| K900 | It's not in a stable release yet | 17:53:24 |
| maralorn | vivekanandan_ks: Currently we have one progress bar per transfer right aligned in the tree-row of a transfer. | 17:55:14 |
| maralorn | But I am currently also thinking about having one colored global progress bar in the last line which cumulates all builds and transfers. | 17:56:02 |
| vivekanandan_ks | This actually sounds great. Looking forward to it🤩 | 17:57:37 |
| maralorn | Me too. Wonder if I can find a free evening for that this year … | 18:01:36 |

 saygo.2 | The problem with optparse applicative is that forwardOptions like all other info modifiers can only be applied to the whole parser | 04:24:30 |
| saygo.2 | this causes all unparsed arguments to be treated as positionals — which is good for the nix build etc wrappers, but terrible for normal nom | 04:25:15 |
