Progress indicators

[macintacos]

Let's just say that I have... a lot of filters. gmailctl handles it like a champ, however, often when I run gmailctl apply, it'll take quite a while for the operation to complete (especially now, when I'm making huge changes to how my filters are structured).

Right now I'm just missing progress indicators. Any way there could be more visual feedback that something is happening, even if it's just a spinner? It'd be awesome if there was detailed logs going over everything that is happening, but I'll take a "pinky swear, I'm working on it" message at this point :)

I think this makes sense. I don't know when I can work on this though, as it requires a bit of thinking and research. One quick fix could be to have some coarse logs about what's happening (e.g. downloading filters, deleting, uploading filters) and a --verbose flag. I doubt we can implement detailed logs or a progress bar without some work though.

@mbrt if a progress bar is too much, I think that just “more logging” is a good idea. Any chance you could add the label that keeps this request alive?

Makes sense.
