Be friendlier to non-terminals? #97

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

Skyperious displays a progress bar when run from console. A great thing for humans, but... not so great for running exports from cron, because each progress bar update ends up in the output file or the email from cron.

Would it be possible to add an option to make output "plain text" in case stdout is a non-terminal?

Good point.

Should add a flag e.g. --no-progress or --plain-text, to skip outputting textual progress bars.

Added --no-terminal argument for the command-line interface.

Available in the new v4.7 release.
