Where is the "Clear" button gone ?

Post by phentex »

Hello everybody,

My question is actually already in the topic title : in the 1.0.X, what has happened to the "Clear" [the finished/seeding torrents] button which there was next to the "+ Add" and "- remove" functions in the 0.5.9.X versions of Deluge ? I found it very useful...

Cheers to the dev team.

I removed it because being 'completed' is subjective, you can't really define it properly.. If you want to remove all seeds then click on the seeding filter, select all and remove.

sorry for digging up old stuff, but i'd like to second the request for bringing back the clear button. if the problem is defining 'complete,' let the user define it in the configuration. something like:

"Consider an item complete when:
(radio) [textbox] ratio is reached
(radio) finished downloading (in other words when seeding)"

or even simpler:

Consider an item complete when ratio >= [textbox]
for a value of 0.0, all seeding torrent will clear, ala 0.5.x

I don't see why this is necessary when there is already an option to remove a torrent when a certain ratio has been reached.

because, for the simple reason that I may want to clear all seeding torrents at some point, before the automatic removal at a given ratio... OK, it is your program, you decide, but I just don't get it why you took out a useful feature that we (or at the least I) are battling to try and get back :oops:

Because it's not particularly useful and there is a viable alternative.
