Add width options that makes decorator remember width for short time #60

Closed nektro closed 3 years ago

With my library that I primarily to use to make web scrapers, there are two main types of bars. those being manual value ones and download ones. and as the byte formatting makes the counter column much wider than normal as shown below.

however, as many downloads may appear and disappear but a parent bar, this width difference can cause it to be very spam-y and make that column hard to read.

therefore I was hoping it would be possible to be able to tell mpb that the width of that column should be remembered shortly (perhaps 1s) before shrinking. currently I use decor.WCSyncWidth.

Sorry I didn't quite understand what the problem is. Can you please post some snippet where this issue is reproducible? As a last resort you can always implement your own decorator if built-in doesn't meet your needs.
