labels/categories and more wishes

Post by pilluli »

Hi deluge community,

First of all let me say to keep up the excellent work on this program, with the webui plugin I finally moved from azureus :D . The only thing missing for me know is a way to categorize my torrents. Are developers thinking on this? What I would like to see is:

- Labels/categories to torrents
- Auto categorization of torrent to labels/categories based on tracker name or torrent name
- Ability to set final folder to torrents based on label/categories (so torrents in the "movies" label is saved in a different folder)
- Ability to set final ratio based on labels/categories (so I can set a label per tracker and changed my ratio based on that, so trackers with good ratio get 1.0 and others 2.0 for instance)
- Ability to stop seeding after some time based also on labels/categories

I guess the final 4 could be implemented on plugins (or changing some existing ones) but what about labels/categories? Do you think it may be implemented in the core or could be implemented as a plugin? I'm new to deluge and python but if it could be implemented as plugin I my try to add labels to deluge (if I find some time)

later!

no developer is working on this right now. that's not to say it'll never happen, but it's certainly not happening any time soon unless someone else sends us a patch for it. the good news is that everything you listed can be implemented as plugin... :)

So, you think adding labels can be implemented as a plugin? what about the changes in the main gui to display labels? I'm thinking maybe using tabs, or a box to search torrent matching labels, etc...

Hi,

I'm starting to implement a plugin but the lack of documentation is not helping :D anyways, from other plugins I discover that a plugin can hook to be notified when a torrent is finished (by the EVENT_FINISHED) and checking the 'torrent has finished downloading' message but, is there a similar hook for when a torrent is added? I can't seem to find it in the core sources :-?

btw, feel free to move this post to the plugin forum, i didn't know where to put it...

later,

Oops, are there plans to include this in future versions? would it be very difficult to implement?

I am currently working on 0.6 which will feature a lot more options for plugin writers.. Most events will have 'hooks' or 'handlers' that your plugin can register with.

As far as I can think, 'labels' or some sort of categorization ability is what I desire the most in Deluge right now.

Hey all, recent convert from azureus, whoop whoop!! Deluge is blazing fast or gushing like plug flow in a pipe more appropriately. I have to weigh in with the others on this post though that the ability to categorize and set destinations is much desired and the only thing I miss from Azureus. Once these features are implemented there is no levee that will hold back the flood.

Thanks
