How to know the progress of deleteBatch:
I want to know the progress of deleteBatch: in Objective-C API.
The process periodically calls deleteBatchCheck: and waits for deleteBatch: to finish.
If I delete a lot of files, the wait time is quite long. So I want to know the progress.
I tried using setProgressBlock :, but it returns 100% immediately after calling deleteBatch :.
Is there a good way to know the progress of deleteBatch :?
Thank you.
Unfortunately, the API doesn't offer a way to get the progress of a deleteBatch job like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
(The setProgressBlock method is only referring to the network request itself, not the actual asynchronous job occurring on the Dropbox servers.)
