Queues

Fusion · 12-07-2001, 06:11 AM

Hm, how 'bout an ability to add a stop marker to the queue, so that when you hit that file/directory, transfer is stopped as if you pressed the stop-when-complete button. That way you can stop a long-winded transfer without having to actually delete the rest of the queue (so it finishes) or pay attention to it in order to press the button after the last file starts moving.

Sounds cool...not sure i would use it much, but it does sounds useful

Fusion · 12-10-2001, 02:02 AM

I'm not sure I'd use it much either, but I might at times (else I wouldn't have thought it up).

I had considered this thought myself once, As there was one time where I needed to do just that. But I don't think there is enough justifcation to support the feature.

There are MANY MANY feature requests that only the person requesting the feature will find usefull. I really need to target everyone or altest the majority when new features are considered.

Perhaps new features should be voted apon?

a 2 week period.. a poll needs atlest 100 votes to be considered valid, and the poll would determine whether or not the feature was added. There would be some exceptions of course.. there are some features that have been requested that just are feasable with the current design.. Also there are some changes I have planned that I just havent found the time for. Which I really need to get after.. Oh and then there's bug to deal with. Popular simple easy to do features.. now that's what i'm talking about

Yea, I know where you're coming from. This addition would be a logical step, tho. Sorta like automation of the button. I'm not convinced it would take too much work to add either; you already check the status of the button, the enhancement should be easy to fit in.

New Feature polls do sound good

lets do it!. Flash, go ahead and all of your current major feature requests so we can vote on them

Fusion · 12-10-2001, 12:58 PM

Okay, I'll bite. Just who is Flash?

Actually, now that I get that other queue-enhancement added, this one is less critical.

A long time ago, bigstar's nick was FlashDragon...its really hard to get out of the habit

Fusion · 12-10-2001, 02:42 PM

Aaaah, hence the name.

Actually, I remember that nick.

Fusion · 12-10-2001, 03:34 PM

It's not that simple.

None of the stuff on my current list will be added any time soon, Either because it requires major changes or because they aren't possible with the current design.

So there's no point in mentioning them.

All the good simple features have already been added.

Alright, then what about 2 different threads...one for longterm, and one for easy doable things...that way people understand if something is feasable or not, and quit asking you if its under the long term requests. You can also get a better grasp on what is really worth trying to implement and what isn't...

bigstar · 12-10-2001, 09:30 PM

It would take too much time. I have notes everywhere. Not going to happen.

However we can start a brand new list on the message board.

Linkster · 12-10-2001, 10:56 PM

sounds good to me
