Progress: set options on the fly

[apprehensions]

Hi, i want to implement a simple progress dialog window, but it seems i cant quite specify a 'marquee' option. My usecase for this is to start the progressbar with no progress (eg. the bar itself jumping back and fourth, known as Pulsate()), and then later on start doing tasks and increment the bar.

What are you using: the Go package, or the command line zenity? Which platform?

Go, Linux, Wayland

Sorry, memory fails me. This isn't possible, especially on Linux.

You can try this on the command line, run:

$ zenity --progress

Then update the progress bar by inputing a percentage on each line:

$ zenity --progress
10
20
30

It works! But if you add pulsate, it doesn't, anymore:

$ zenity --progress --pulsate
10
20
30

So there's no way I can make it work for zenity, and per policy described in #1, I left it out for other platforms where I could maybe make it work.

One way to make the dialog more useful in that case, which works only on Linux, is to add zenity.TimeRemaining.
