Re: [Bug-ddrescue] GNU ddrescue 1.18-pre1 released

[Scott Dwyer]

I just ran a short test with the new logging options, and that could be 
some useful info when wanted :)

I would like to make a suggestion/request that is not related to the new 
logging, but looking at the logs reminded me of something I have been 
meaning to ask. It shouldn't be too difficult...

Would it be possible to place the current total run time on the screen 
with the rest of the current data, and update it as the data on the 
screen is updated? There are many times on a long run that I was curious 
how long it had been running at a glance. And the only way I could tell 
how long a run took if I wasn't there was to use the "time" command when 
starting ddrescue. And I seem to have a hard time remembering to do that.
