Is it possible to have a precise progress bar in zenity during the execution of the following:
Currently I am using
With my limited knowledge in bash scripting, I was thinking that maybe a way to have a progression bar would be the following:
1- I count recursively all the files in X dir.
2- I execute the command md5sum to create the .md5 file
3- At this point, I read the .md5 file every Y seconds to see the total files processed
4- I get the N of lines in the .md5 file and I do Total Files - Total Files Processed to get a progression...
Does it sound plausible?
Of course, if there is an alternative than using zenity, I am all hears.
There are lots of complicated ways of making "better" guesses at how long it will take. Three is no way to get a "precise" value.
Note that it will take a lot longer to get the md5 sum of a 10Tb file than it will to get the md5 sum of a 10Kb file. Your algorithm assumes that all files are the same size. I see no reason to believe that that assumption is valid.
Your algorithm assumes that the load on your system will be constant during the time that your script is running. I see no reason to believe that that assumption is valid.
First off, I'm a novice in bash...

I tried using the tee command but that puts the output to the terminal first and then shows the zenity progress dialog.
Take the normal example by the gnome manual:
