Undelete Option!!!
Posted: Sun Mar 15, 2015 8:47 pm
Gaaaa ... I deleted all the data. Drat it all ... So, where's the "undelete" button?
Seriously, there is an intelligent discussion and suggestion here http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop ... =8&t=25205 about changing the UI so that the "remove torrent with data" and "remove torrent" (but don't remove data) options are less easily mistaken for one another. I concur! It's a 2009 suggestion, so I re-suggest it.
Furthermore, I suggest an un-delete command. I am often attempting to cause two (or more!) different torrents on different trackers to recognize one file between them. I find that if the trackers have even a slight difference in file-name then, generally, one torrent will not think that the other torrent's file should also be its own. I wish there were a more straightforward way to handle this problem. Deluge will generally be quite intelligent if you try to re-name files, folders, and torrents "in progress" and this can help with this problem. However, renaming the file and then removing the other tracker can cause conflicts in which data will or will not be removed at the time of a torrent removal (for example) or at the time of another subsequent file re-naming.
Generally, lost data is LOST baby, and TOO quickly. There's no confirmation opportunity, since it does it right away. There's no un-delete command. And the delete button looks an awful lot like the don't-delete button.
(Sorry to rant. It was indeed my fault. And Deluge is a great program. It's free! It's the best torrent downloader on the entire internet! I'm not COMPLAINING, I'm SUGGESTING.
