Even though Highlighting entries in the Download Log File makes a difference it does not that much reduce the users affords of having to select and copy out to the directories which are already complete (=deleted from the download queue)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To keep in mind as a programmer regarding this feature construction of course must be the fact that users use directories
a) to group files which out of their nature are already whole, e.g. a download directory may be called "videos" and includes videofiles which are not connected contentwise
b) to group files which belong together contentwise, e.g. an album with 13 tracks in it
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alternatives which have been discussed in the forum are:
1) Keeping all the unfinished directories in the Unfinished Download Directory until they have been deleted from the Download Queue
-> in case of directories of type a) this means users have to
manually move finished files
-> in case download directories are shared directories this will prevent those files from being shared
2) Changing the name of folders once they are in the Download Directories either the unfinished folders, i.e. putting a caracter like "." next to the folder name oder the finished folders, i.e. putting caracter lika "." next to the folder name
-> by taking their liberty to name folders as they wish this would insult quite some ppl as i can immagine who don´t care a lot about this feature
-> in case of directories of typ a) it means users would have to rename their folders in the settings (Downloads/Favorites)
Another suggestion has been to create a third download directory in setting/download where all finished folders after deleting from the download queue should be copied to.i personally dislike this way cause it brings some chaos with it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMO the best case scenario would be to let users decide (e.g. with a checkbox next to folders in the download queue) which folders are of type b) in order to keep those selected folders in the Unfinished Download Directory until they´re done (=deleted from DQ)
Otherwise I prefer alternative 1) which should be implemented as an option to not annoy users unnecessarily who dont like to have that feature.
Let me know whether you have different suggestions or ideas to this feature. I wait at least a week. afterwards i´ll enter both the "best case scenario" of this feature and the "second best solution" in bugzilla
and excludes valuable possibilities ..I have found the following in Feature Requests (ARchived):
i.e. through a highlightened entry in the download log
