[Feature]: Upload progress bar

[bendichter]

What would you like to see added to the NWB GUIDE?

Is there a way to create a progress bar so that we can track the progress of uploads? I know we've discussed this before but I wasn't able to find an open issue for it. Apologies if this issue already exists somewhere.

Do you have any interest in helping implement the feature?

Yes.

Code of Conduct

Yes

Did you confirm this feature was not already reported?

Yes

[CodyCBakerPhD]

Yes, we know generally how we are going to approach this with https://github.com/catalystneuro/tqdm_publisher but we're still hashing out the exact implementation strategy to be effective at integrating with NWB Inspector (for scanning files), HDMF (for writing files), and DANDI (for uploading files)

[bendichter]

OK, that makes sense

[CodyCBakerPhD]

This has been added for everything except DANDI since they use a very customized iteration procedure for the entire operation with no easy injection point per worker

Will look into ways of piping the stdout to a little console window as an intermediate solution
