Move seeding/downloading/all from pane

[kluelos]

If you want to view a subset of your active tasks -- just the seeding tasks, or just the downloading tasks, or all tasks -- you currently have to activate the Favorites Pane, and select the view you want.

Id' like to see these options moved off of the Favorites pane and onto the main toolbar, so that they are accessible to people who don't otherwise want the Favorites pane visible.

If you go to View-->Task List and put a check-mark in front of the Show Task Filter you'll have them available on a thin toolbar under the main toolbar of the program.

Some other thing related to your suggestion that I would like to see, would be a more fine-grained filtering method which would split all tasks in 4 categories instead of 3 like it is now.

Now we have them kind of mixed up and with misleading names, not following a particular logical pattern.

1. The first one is "Downloading". What one would assume is that by clicking on this one you will be shown only the downloading tasks. Instead you get in fact all the tasks which are "not finished" whether they are at 99% or they never were started at all (just added to the Task List) AND the actually downloading (active) tasks.

2.The second one is "Completed". This one seems to works as its name suggests and it shows you only the completed tasks, irrespective of their status (active or stopped).

3.The third one is "Active". This will show you only the active tasks, both downloading (unfinished) and seeding.

What I've been suggesting for a while is a more logical way of splitting the categories (and more practical at the same time). Basically it would divide the tasks in 4 categories (made up of 2 main "super-categories": Active and Inactive).

Thus we would have:

1. "Downloading" (these are active): this would show only the actively downloading tasks.

2. "Seeding" (these are also active): this would show only the actively seeding tasks.

3. "Unfinished" (these are inactive): this would show only the inactive unfinished tasks, whether they are at 0% (never been started) or up to 99% but not finished yet.

4. "Finished" (these are also inactive): this would show only the inactive completed tasks (100% but stopped).

By making more than one category selectable at any time, this would make possible to show any combination of tasks (e.g. "Finished" and "Seeding" to see all tasks at 100%, no matter what state they're in or just "Downloading" and "Seeding" to see all the active tasks).

That must be a new addition. It isn't an available option in 1.22

It's been added in v.1.24 : "GUI Improved: add task filter on the top of task list, filter tasks by states, tags and keywords".
