What is Missing or Grinding Your Gears?

[JAAdrian]

Hi all,

I would really like to hear some feedback of you, the users of the progress bar. Is there something which is really bugging you and/or not functioning the way you want?

Often there are technical limitations why things are the way they are but sometimes it's just really a lack of a fresh perspective.

So, fire away!

Hey @JAAdrian, thanks for the great project 👍🏻 you made writing MATLAB code bearable; it would be great if you could also provide an example for nested loops where the inner loop is parallel, i.e., parfor. Just replacing the parallel example, with the inner loop of the nested example creates empty inner loop line, seems like an artifact of setup(). If you can provide a correct way of making nested loops with inner parfor, that would be great 🎉. I have attached my attempt below.

numOuterIterations = 3;
numInnerIterations = 15;
b1 = ProgressBar(numOuterIterations, 'Title', 'Loop 1');
b1.setup([], [], []);
for iOuterIteration = 1:numOuterIterations
    b2 = ProgressBar(numInnerIterations, ...
        'IsParallel', true, ...
        'WorkerDirectory', pwd(), ...
        'Title', 'Loop 2' ...
    );
    b2.setup([], [], []);
    parfor jInnerIteration = 1:numInnerIterations
        pause(0.1);
        updateParallel([], pwd);
    end
    b2.release();
    b1([], [], []);
end
b1.release();
ProgressBar.deleteAllTimers();

As you can see, on the right-hand side of the outer loop, there are empty lines of the inner loop.
