Missing -v or --verbose mode flag #81

Great work on this tool! It is really needed, I was very surprised to learn the only official DSM method was uninstall/reinstall.

I ran this application last today to move one of the official synology apps and it worked great-- but when I tried to move the Docker package I had issues (created an issue for that here)

Would be great if there was a -v or --verbose flag supported so we can track the bread crumbs to diag.

Thanks for taking the suggestion, Dan

The script stops the Container Manager (or Docker) package so there should not be any containers still running.

Moving, or backing up, the @docker folder can take hours depending on the size and quantity of containers.

There are 2 undocumented options, but they can only be used one at a time:

Trace prints information on where each function was called from. If you only want to see the trace output from after you answer "y" you can insert a line at line 1990 and add trace=yes

If you only want to debug from after you answer "y" you can:

  1. Insert a line at line 1990 and add debug on
  2. Insert a line at line 2025 and add debug off

Thanks for the response.

Might as well just add those flags to the readme, I’m sure others will need them eventually too. I’ll give them a try.

I assume the move is probably not hanging in that case, but taking a long time. For a situation where a process has to move above a certain file size, I would say some kind of progress indicator would be helpful so users don’t quit the operation prematurely. Doesn’t matter how long it takes as long as IMO I just know it’s working on something.

Works! Thanks again.
