Taskbar Progressbar in Windows 7

[gLes]

Hi!

I've been looking around this forum and found that not much enthusiasm has been raised by the new features of Windows 7, although the RTM has been out for a while. Thus I'd like to propose a use for the new progressbar on the taskbar icon feature in Windows 7 (and also supporting the proposal of using the jumplist: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=55773).

I think there should be an option in the torrent context menu's Advanced section, just like Show Download Bar, only this would be Show Progress in Taskbar. Since this means only one progressbar, either it could be that only the last torrent selected will show its progress, or if more are chosen like this, then it could be a combined progress or something like that.

Best regards,

gLes

We will add support for more Windows 7 features (such as the jump lists and other niceties), but I can't say when.

This is a great idea that's been long overdue!

Simply have an option to show download progress using the Windows taskbar/progress-bar feature.

There could simply be an option in the utorrent 'UI Settings' section to 'Show Progress in Taskbar'. Since this would be limited to a single progress bar, it could either show the topmost unfinished torrent (and then move to the next unfinished once completed), or the aggregate progress for all remaining torrents (make it user selectable).

This must be very simple... It's an API (ready to be used by any program...)
