Nested Status() and Progress()

[AthenaAzuraeaX]

Hi,

I know this isn't supported directly, so I wanted to check if there's an alternate way of making this possible or if there are any plans to add this feature in the future.

What I basically would to do is to mix Status() and Progress(). Say I have a couple of tasks:

Initializing some stuff...
Downloading some files...
Cleaning up...

It would be nice to use Status() for this, but for the second tasks downloading, I'd like to use a Progress to show the progress of the files being downloaded since they can be big.

The only way I can think of doing this is to nest Status() and Progress():

await AnsiConsole .Status() .Spinner(Spinner.Known.Dots) .StartAsync("Running...", RunAsync);

Then inside RunAsync, when downloading files, we would do:

await AnsiConsole .Progress() .AutoClear(true) .HideCompleted(true) .Columns(new ProgressColumn[] { new RemainingTimeColumn() { }, new SpinnerColumn() { Spinner = Spinner.Known.Dots }, new ProgressBarColumn(), new TaskDescriptionColumn(), new PercentageColumn(), new ElapsedTimeColumn() }) .StartAsync(async Context => { // Download files... });

But unfortunately this is not supported. So is there a way to achieve this or are there future plans to improve this?

EDIT: I don't know it's removing whitespace for the code and I don't know how to fix it.

I too have found a need for this...

@AthenaAzuraeaX or @MrHinsh - did you ever figured out a solution/workaround for this?

Admittedly, I have not. But I also moved on.
