After extraction, progress in PAR2 list says "100%" instead of "Finished"

[Frasier]

Hi!

After successful extraction, the progress in the PAR2 list should better say "Finished", "Completed", etc. instead of staying at "100%". I think this would be more intuitive, because 100% could also mean that it's "almost" finished but still worked on.

I'd still prefer a clear text description - this should not be difficult to implement...

Ahh 100% has always meant finished... 99% would mean almost finished. This goes for every software or anything dealing with math.

Not always! Check out a few other news readers...

Also, even if the extraction is finished at 100%, this doesn't necessarily mean that the whole process is finished. E.g. there still could be some work done on the file, like checking, copying, renaming, etc. so a handle to the file could still be open. A simple "Finished" message would make it much clearer!

You can already set a tadaa sound on download completion, Setup > Misc #2 .

Generally, I like the way NewsLeecher handles status messages, progresses, etc. better. It's simply much clearer and intuitive.

E.g.
- the "Dwonload queue" and "Par2" tabs could contain some info about the queues
- the progress messages in the Par2 tab should give more information (like "Waiting for download to complete", "Finished", etc.)
- The size info in the download queue should display the total size of the downloads too, not just the size remaining (e.g. 2500 / 4600 KB), or even better a separate column could display the total size.

These are just small issues, of course, but they could help to improve the program.

I just wondering why this all have to be posted under "Bugs" ?
In my opinion it has nothing to do with a bug at all, it's just a wishlist.
Therefore it should be posted/moved under "Requests" when the OP thinks parts of other programs suits him more, or are more clearer or more intuitive to him and he wants them to be implemented in Altbinz
