Feature request: more easily controlled file selection

Post by Nameless »

I see that when adding a torrent to be downloaded, one has to check/uncheck files one at a time. Surely, in a torrent with hunderds of files, of which you want only a few, that can be a problem. I think there should be a way to select multiple files and change their priority all at once.

Use Ctrl+Click and Shift+Click. It is standart hotkeys for multiply itmes selection in any OS and program.

I know. But after I select them, there is no way to unckeck all the checkboxes at once.

By the way, Frosty was right after all. Unchecking one of the boxes, while multiple files have been selected unchecks them all.

However, I still think there should be some other way, for example a right click menu, this is not at all intuitive.

Seems perfectly intuitive to me. I'd rather not introduce a menu since I don't see any real purpose to it.

I do parital downloads a bunch with Deluge, and works out pretty great. This is the normal interface. So if you want to just download one file, click on the list, ctrl + a. Then set to do not download, then select the one, or few items to you want to download.
