Hello senior Gerardo, how about making a build.sh command argument to disable progress bars? I.e. it would call mksquashfs -no-progress my logfiles would look prettier :) I thought maybe you could do "don't show progress bars when non-verbose" but I like the verbose flag so I can see errors/warnings. or maybe you should always show errors/warnings, also when not verbose. then I could run without the verbose flag and don't see any progress bars.

OK. I will look at the code again in few days. I am a bit busy in these weeks.

OK just disabled progress bar, if you need other thing, please let me know.

Error handling is a bit special (bash -x), it stop at the first thing that goes bad. Maybe can be a good idea to trap this and show an error message that says "for details enable verbose mode".

Maybe you can also want to disable progress bars during package download when making "core-repo" for core isos.

right?

yes, I would like all progress bars gone when running archiso from my scripts. at the same time, i realise when running archiso interactively, progress bars are useful.

I prefer to not add more complexity, in other words I will disable progress bars, keeping things like when wget was used (if I do not remember bad). -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1
