Basically everything needed already exists. Just no pre-defined *categories*.
There is already a filetype column available in list. I will add filter for that column too, so you can quick filter to file type
Yes, I know you can use packagizer but it is still a mess and disorganise

The problem with the current method is, it is more like a dump everything (packages + links into one window list) which creates a big mess and disorganised.

Example of what I mean is this..

Example 1 :
I created some package rules "Books" to grab links into file type : pdf, epub
So it has created a package called Books

But the problem is the link grabber could have grab more links packages from other sources and other stuff which then clutter the entire Download list window when I move those packages over

So in Download list there could be these packages
-Books
-abc package
-cde package
-efg package

so on and on...

So the Download list is clutter with the Books package plus alot of other packages..

If there was the categories window, when I click Books category
I will only see all packages that is in the Books category, no other packages.

Example 2
Package "Games" could grab links from xyz website and put those Rar part1, part2 etc links into "Games" package

but say a game "Doom 6" had 20 rar files X 5 hosters = 100 links in Games package

Then as I keep grabbing other games e.g Far Cry = 100 links, Half Life 3 = 100 links etc..

So just 3 games, has a total of 300 links in the Games package.

Now when I click on the "Game" package (+) icon, to expand it
it will be a really long scroll to see all the links.

Imagine if you had 10 games = 1000 links in the Games package etc..

Also I would need to put in the package "games" rule, all the websites that I
may visit so it can grab it.
This is rarely known all the time...

---
With the categories feature..

Normally when we grab all links for Doom game,
it would automatically create a Doom package with all the rar parts + hosts

Far cry would have a package called Far Cry etc..

And then with the categories feature
it would be put inside a Games category list

So when we click Games category
I would only see these packages and no other packages
-Doom
-Far Cry
-Half Life 3

This is much more organised and less messy.

This is basically a paradigm shift

where the current method is more like a dump everything (packages + links) in one huge list window

versus..

using the categories lists window
which would only show the packages that are placed in that category.

I hope you can see what I mean with these examples
