One less tab
« on: April 17, 2013, 12:19:15 am »
Just a thought. I was wondering if adding a par column and repair column right next to the status column in the Download Queue tab could be done instead of switching back and forth between that and the par2 tab. That way you could monitor right from the Download Queue.

You do know that one collection can have many par2 sets?

well the way i was looking at it was that one particular file being downloaded has only one par line of code associated to it. it was just a thought , i can believe that it would be extremely difficult to take apart a par file line by line to generate that output but like i said just a thought.

One thing I do when I genuinely do need to watch the queue and par2 progress at the same time - which isn't often - is undock the par2 tab and place it below the queue. It's obviously not 'sticky', but it does the job of giving all the info at a glance.

maybe the ability to switch the threads panel (F9) to par2 could be nice?
we got bigger and bigger..... screens (what else ::)) and therefore could have more infos on same tab
