SQLite databases my customers have can be very large ... well over 150Mb. Unfortunately the Packer functions for compressing and decompressing these files cannot show progress. Users and and wait and give up. I have been forced to use external zip/unzip software such as LHA and 7 zip for this reason. Prior to version 5, PureBasic contained a PackerCallback function. It was useful for producing a progressbar when compressing or decompressing very large files. Would it be possible to re-introduce PackerCallback to work with the current formats? Or have an alternative like HttpProgress or something else?

Any chance anyone has a hack/workaround for this? Or is it just out & need to use 3rd party compressor?

If I use an older version fo PB that supported packercallback, could I build a dll with that version to do the compressing/callback and call it from current PB version? (yea, I will probably try this tonight)
