Scheduler 1.0

[choizy]

I would like to be able to set upload limits higher than 1024 in certain periods.

Not completely! I've had too much stuff going on and haven't been able to work on it. However, there is someone working on the back-end of a new plugin, so the wheels are in motion!

Anyone who has experience designing interfaces with Glade is welcome to help

Fantastic. This is the only feature I miss since the 1.x versions came out.

Was that actually a problem in Scheduler 0.5? It's something that never affected me, so I didn't look into it.

Arbitrary bandwidth limits are a no-no

The colour zone system is great! It just needs some input improvements.

• It would be highly useful if you could drag the mouse (like in uTorrent) to toggle multiple blocks at once.
• One would wish to be able to change to any colour in a single click. Since there's 3 modes, left click could switch up and right click could switch down, so if 1 = green, 2 = red, and 3 = yellow and you're currently on 3, left click would move to 1 (wrap-around), and right click would move to 2.

No it's not. From both usability and implementation point of view, it's a real pain.

This can already be done in Scheduler 0.5, but it's pretty ugly.

Is one extra click really that big a deal? I'd prefer a more dynamic system (which was what I was going to implement, but ran out of time). One idea I had was to have the same zone system, but allow an arbitrary number of zones, with user-selected colours, and then have a "palette" to select which colour for what zone.

Then 0.6/1.0 happened, and I decided it would be much better to do a complete redesign with something much more dynamic. I'm not sure what progress there has been, as my other commitments have kept me busy, but I might be able to work on Scheduler again

I would be happy with the 0.6 version working in 1.x

I started working on it and then got busy (not to mention moved and don't have net yet), so it got put on the backburner (again).
It should still (hopefully) be finished by the time 1.2 is released.

Two requests I have for the scheduler...

1) Please give the option of showing time 1:00-12:00 AM/PM instead of military 01:00-24:00. It was always a pain to do that simple math adding or subtracting 12 all the time. I always thought in that grid, just showing 1-12 and 1-12 with a dividing line at noon would be effective enough.

2) How about giving four or five colored blocks that you can set the options for individually. So a grid at top where you can toggle the colors, and then five blocks at the bottom with their options/settings next to them. You could even make it like a paintbrush app, where you click the colored block and then "paint" with it within the grid... instead of the toggling.

My solution was this;

1) set the preference in Deluge to auto load .torrents from home

2) save the torrents I wanted by right clicking their links and saving them to home

3) in terminal type "sleep 4h && deluge" (you can test this with "sleep 8 && deluge" which will sleep just 8 seconds)

4) in the case above Deluge opens in 4 hours time and downloads all the .torrents saved in /home

there's a scheduler in trunk (which will be in 1.2) which is pretty much identical to that in 0.5.x
