it's looks like this https://ibb.co/JysCH5v https://ibb.co/H45b9xN

I've reference from here Can you implement OS X's Finder download progress bars from a shell script?

and here https://gist.github.com/mminer/3c0fbece956f3a5fa795563fafb139ae

but both of them not work, Finder's file progress not show up, and nothing happen,

I'v intend to implement like safari file download, or google chrome file download effect, every individual file will have progress bar on it, until file completed,

I'm not mean update progress on my own app view, it's on finder's file

I'm in macOS 10.14.5, Swift5

am I missing something?

Thank you!

What does "not work" mean, exactly? – Alexander Jun 05 '19 at 15:30

The Finder actually monitors the URL you pass to it. You can't simulate download progress. You have to actually write to the file. – Ken Thomases Jun 05 '19 at 15:41
@cool That example that was shown uses async tasks. If you're just running this in a script, repl or playground, the execution of the program will end before the async tasks ever fire. Could that be your issue, or have you already solved that? – Alexander Jun 05 '19 at 15:43
You cannot control the progress window of the Finder. You have to create your own. – vadian Jun 05 '19 at 15:46
@vadian Yes you can. https://gist.github.com/amomchilov/53275fcda8f945dbdd67f3c1b8fd82df – Alexander Jun 05 '19 at 15:52
@KenThomases Nope, you definitely can: https://gist.github.com/amomchilov/53275fcda8f945dbdd67f3c1b8fd82df – Alexander Jun 05 '19 at 15:52
@Alexander This is an **own** one. – vadian Jun 05 '19 at 15:55
@vadian I don't follow – Alexander Jun 05 '19 at 15:56
@Alexander You are creating a custom progress window. This is **not** the progress window which belongs to the Finder. – vadian Jun 05 '19 at 15:57

@Alexander Hi I try your new gist, it's still no any progress show up at finder's downloading file, I'v intend to implement like safari download, or google chrome download effect, – cool Jun 05 '19 at 17:13
@cool What file did you provide for the `path` variable? – Alexander Jun 05 '19 at 17:15
@Alexander "/Users/usr/Downloads/a.txt" – cool Jun 05 '19 at 17:19
@cool And `a.txt` is a file you created, and `usr` is your account's username? – Alexander Jun 05 '19 at 17:19
@Alexander yes, – cool Jun 05 '19 at 17:20
@cool and you're running this code in a standalone swift file, that you're running with `swift` or `swiftc`? – Alexander Jun 05 '19 at 17:27
@Alexander yes in swift – cool Jun 06 '19 at 02:27
@cool Hmmm, well I'm out of ideas. Works fine for me, `Apple Swift version 5.0.1 (swiftlang-1001.0.82.4 clang-1001.0.46.5)` – Alexander Jun 06 '19 at 04:19
@Alexander it's looks like this https://ibb.co/JysCH5v, https://ibb.co/H45b9xN, what's your result screenshot? – cool Jun 06 '19 at 04:27
@cool See my comment on https://gist.github.com/amomchilov/7a977b9f99e898f0ff5d8e500c213aef – Alexander Jun 06 '19 at 04:37
