[feature request] Move packages back to LinkGrabber
Hi,
From time to time, I've run into the following problem: accidentally select "Start All Downloads" instead of "Start Downloads" and my entire LinkGrabber queue moves to Downloads and creates a big mess. It would be nice to have an option either to prevent accidents like this or having the possibility to "Undo" it. In the first case jD should ask if the user really wants to add all the links to the Downloads. In the second case jD should simply move back the selected packages to the LinkGrabber panel, possible after confirmed by the user. Thanks in advance, M |

Hi guys,
It's been sitting there for almost a year and a half and still 0 percent. I don't think it's a particularly complex request so what's holding it back? Cheers, Imre |

I understand.
However, this is just one of my 3 requests all sitting in the queue with 0%... It feels pointless to report/request anything at this point. Regards, M |

This request is part of a larger refactorting I'm currently working on.

Hey,
In the meantime, is it possible to pop up a confirmation dialog when selecting "Download All"? It'll reduce cases of accidentally adding all links to download (and probably make the original request obsolete)... Cheers, M |

Hi guys,
Is there any update on this one? I imagine it wouldn't be a massive task to pop up a confirm dialog... and it would save us a lot of headaches. And it's kind of a basic thing to ask for permission when doing a destructive (non-reversable) action... like when jD does when somebody wants to delete items from the download list. Cheers, M |

It doesn't look like much but there are changes in gui (dialog), controlling (dialog, don't show again, how many links..) and config (user has to be able to change this) And the time is better spend on the *move back feature* that is still in progress.

Hi Jiaz,
It depends on implementation details but fair enough. When do you think we can expect any of these requests deployed? The original post more than 2 years old now... Cheers, M |

I'm sorry but I don't give any eta for the simple reason that I don't know when I find time to work on this.
I'll increase priority so I see it more often on my todo list

Hey,
So, a half a year passed again but I don't seem to find any improvements on this particular issue. Cheers, M |

It's just not a high priority feature. Limited time + higher priority tickets, this is evidently a "nice to have", not a "gotta have it".
I feel your pain- I was a professional Software QA engineer for 15 years. Nothing more frustrating to a QA engineer or a customer to have what you think is a hot-item feature request ignored by Development. I can't tell you haw many of my "great idea" tickets ended up in the "Future Release" bin, never to be seen again. Tickets coming from high-profile customers, or ones dreamed up by Project Management always took priority. I'd like to see it too (for other reasons, which could be solved by OTHER zero-progress feature requests) but I just have to work around it. My workaround it pretty drastic- I highlight all the links I want to "move" back to linkgrabber, select Show URLs, copy them (sometimes one at a time), paste them into a txt file, delete the links from the Download pane, then go to linkgrabber and re-add them. Why do I do this? So I can add mirrors to links that already exist but aren't in nearby packages. Because I can't move links from one package to another when I have filters set. And even if I find the link using a filter, I can't switch back to unfiltered since clearing the filter causes the link list to return to the top. Both of those issues have zero-percent feature request tickets that are years old. But that's my convoluted use case, because I'm always finding mirrors days after adding links, but to force mirroring that means the links have to be in one package. |

I consider the "Start All Doownloadsl' almost as destructive as delete packages and the latter has a warning dialog but the former doesn't.
Anything that can give headache for users should be treated as a destructive op and should have an optional (turned on by default) confirm dialog from the very beginning. That's my opinion. And my workaround: I just removed the Start All Downloads menu item. I never used it intentionally, anyway. Cheers, M |

Interesting. "Start All Downloads" pops a warning for me. But- it's a warning that I'm trying to start offline links, since I almost always have dead links in my linkgrabber. I don't use Start All either, so my accidental warning is a blessing I guess.

you can disable the Starts All Download by disabling autostart checkbox in Linkgrabber-bottom right corner.
It's an action that toggles with CTRL key. Either Add or Start depending on *autostart checkbox in quicksettings in linkgrabber. No need to remove that item. @dabrown: the *filter active, no drag drop* issue is known but I simply find no time at the moment to work on those stuff. you shoud be able to select and copy (CTRL-C) and then unfilter view and select package and PASTE (CTRL-V) as *ugly* workaround Support/Email/Tickets/Forum eats lots of lots of time, especially on mondays. our plugin developer currently has less/no time for JDownloader because of university and life

Hi Jiaz,
In my case, most of the time I select "Starts All Download" by accident so using CTRL is out of question and the safest way for me is simply removing the menu item. I don't have an Autostart checkbox in my jDownloader (I just updated it), btw. All I was able to find is a toggle button labelled "Autostart Download" via the "Customize this Bottom Panel" action. Cheers, M |

No worries, I just wish I thought earlier of this workaround.
Cheers, M |

I would like this too...
in the meantime a workaround i've found is deleting the links in download tab and going into the cfg folder and dragging an older linkcollector.zip file into the window. |
