Package: transmission
Version: 1.06-1
Severity: minor
Hello, this is jidanni reporting a bug again here because I can't deal
with the horrible "trac" bug system upstream (login-> register->
login-> register..., and if no proxy, then "Iceweasel can't establish a
connection to the server at trac.transmissionbt.com." Highly
professional. I give up.)
I did manage to view some of my bugs there, and it does seem someone
is looking at them, though for the life of me no feedback ever comes
to me.
Today's bugs are:
~/.transmission/gtk/prefs.ini: this file seems to contain some
settings that are not totally gtk specific, and may also pertain to
the CLI version of transmission. So perhaps "gtk" is a misleading
directory name use here.
A worse bug is: take a torrent with a directory structure, like
$ bt_showmetainfo bla.torrent
Album1/Song1
Album1/Song2...
Album2/Song1
Album2/Song2...
...
OK, now say we only want Album3/Song5 and Album4/Song6.
So we do
$ transmission -p bla.torrent
and by clicking around in the Details window, we figure out how to
turn off all the other stuff we don't want.
All seems hunky dory until we notice there have been directories for
Album2, 3, and 4 created in our filesystem. Not only that but some
files we didn't checkmark also got created! Hey, we started the
torrent paused so nothing like that would happen! Wait, this might
only just by your way of saving the edges parts of the blocks of the
file that I want, in order to share with others. OK...
OK, but when the smoke clears and it's time to move those files to my
nifty S1MP3 player, how can I tell which ones merely contain edges,
without having to pull the Details list back up and check by hand?
OK, perhaps the best we can do to find which files were the ones we
really checkmark is
$ find -type f -printf %S\\t%p\\n
Anyway, what's really bugging me is how after I painstakingly
checkmarked exactly what I wanted, I later open back up the Details
tab to find ALL the subdirectories are now checkmarked again, Album1
through Album7. Also any memory that I had folded away some of those
directories is gone, but that latter point I can forgive to relieve
bloat, likewise the lost of memory of how I exposed peoples full IPs,
now they are cut back off when I reopen Details.
Also:
I am on the "Activity" tab of "Details".
*Why can't I copy any text with my mouse?!
OK, I will type it in by hand. I see this:
Progress: 3.3%(33.3% selected)
too terse. OK, fine, I'll get used to whatever it means. Anyway, allow
people to copy things with the mouse.
Also on the "Activity" tab, we see a block grid with several different
colors. Well there's enough room for a legend to indicate what each
color means. Users could toggle "expert" mode if such legend bothers
them. Note I am using a 15 inch monitor. Just don't make things that
are too big for some people though.
Same goes for the other grids on other tabs. Yes it may be mentioned
in the manual what colors are what but ... not good enough.
Also along the left and bottom sides of such grids, put some values.
I bet they correspond to block numbers
0x10
0x20
0x30
0x00 0x01... 0x0E 0x0F
Well, add them! Don't just play secret agent. Or add them right inside
the rectangles 0x4A. For all that I just mentioned forget the "0x"
though.
