The PR adds the
force=true/false
keyword argument toupdateProgress!()
method.When
force=true
, the progress bar is unconditionally updated regardless the too frequent bar updates check.The use case: I am processing the big data file that I download chunk by chunk (one chunk contains thousands of data entries).
The progress bar reflects how many entries have been processed.
Each datum is processed within fraction of a second.
However, downloading the next chunk of data takes a while (minutes), during which time the progress bar freezes.
I use
showvalues=
to report the current status: either data processing or chunk download.The problem is that in 99.9% cases the download-related progress bar update gets suppressed by the frequency filter (dt) -- so during the download the bar incorrectly reports that data entries are being processed.
So with this PR I can make sure that the bar would be updated just before the download by passing
force=true
.
