I sometimes have jDownloader on second monitor and I copy large number of links one by one (from different subpages). I would love for LinkGrabber to scroll the list when adding new links, because it always stays in the same position and new links are added below current view, so I can't see it they were added correctly.

@zdzichu476: Maybe as a workaround, you could setup to add new links at the top of the list, see Settings->Advanced Settings->LinkgrabberSettings.linkgrabberaddattop.

Problem with auto scroll is that it interfers with you when adding links. imagine you're adding batch of links, then you can basically do nothing and have to wait for it to finish else scrollbar will always move away.

I will test that "linkgrabberaddattop" setting.

And regarding autoscroll, I know that it can be annoying, that's why it should be added as an option in advanced settings or somewhere in GUI

@zdzichu476: you want the scrollbar to follow selection or just scroll to newest package then? only when at bottom or always position of the package?

[zdzichu476]

Honestly, I can't "picture" the difference in my mind.
I think that when you add a package it should just scroll the view down to the latest one. Don't change selection or anything like that, just scroll the view. And when you manually scroll up and then add another package it should just scroll down to it. It should scroll on every new package, so if you add multiple packages then it will scroll down with each added package.
Maybe you can add additional options so users can fine tune the behavior, but this is what would be mu use case.

@zdzichu476: so same would mean scroll up when linkgrabberaddattop is enabled?
and only scroll to new packages or also in case the new added link goes into package somewhere in the list, eg in the middle? but I guess you only want it to scroll for packages?

Yes

Didn't thought about new links added to existing packages, but they should be ignored. I want to scroll only when new package is created. Even when you manually create it by using "Move to new package".

Maybe you could add On/Off option for it in that little "cog" that is above vertical scrollbar? Name it "Autoscroll to new package" and let it be disabled by default.

Will have to check how easy/complex this will be but I like the idea
