// Custom format with colors
const defaultFormat = chalk.cyan('{bar}') +
  ' {percentage}% | ETA: {eta}s | {value}/{total} | {filename}';

// Create single progress bar
export function createProgressBar(options?: {

    barCompleteChar: '\u2588',
    barIncompleteChar: '\u2591',
    barsize: options?.barSize || 40,
    hideCursor: true,
    clearOnComplete: false,
    stopOnComplete: true,
  }, Presets.shades_classic);
