Huck Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 How about to remove icons from the Name column and put them into Status column instead of verbal staus info?It would look like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodStaindHurricane Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Because the icons are infact the status. Having them show up under the "name" category doesnt really make sense. I do see the point you're trying to make...Maybe if hovering the mouse over the icon, you'd get the popup box identifying the icon? utorrent doesnt do this now(aside from hovering over the tray icon and seeing total torrents being downloaded or seeding), but I'd prefer that over your suggestion.

Huck Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I just want it would be logical and compact. I need status column (to sort by) but it looks to wide with verbal info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Well you already have a status column. Is the 10-15 extra pixels for the text that much of a bother ?Though i do agree about the logical part of this. I dont mind it either way, Overall. Though the sorting by status is a bit weird anyway..Downloading > Seeding > Finished > Forced Download > Forced Seed > Queued Download > Queued Seed > Stopped.Id suggest something like this:Down > Forced Down > Seed > Forced Seed > Queued Down > Queued Seed > Finished > Stopped.orDown > Seed > Forced Down > Forced Seed > Queued Down > Queued Seed > Finished > Stopped.Makes more sense to me.

dajojo88 Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I agree with chaos' logic on this one. The picture you posted, Huck, doesn't really provide a visual imporvement; the icons work where they are. There are other things that should be fixed in the main torrent window that would probably make all aspects (including the icon placement) of the torrent window more visually pleasing.

Huck Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Is the 10-15 extra pixels for the text that much of a bother ?I like small windows. Picturized status column can be narrowed and still look nice and informative.Though the sorting by status is a bit weird anyway..What's weird? Torrents group by status. Downloading torrents at the top, Seeding at the bottom. Or vice versa.The picture you posted, Huck, doesn't really provide a visual imporvement; the icons work where they are.There's just excessive information in the µtorrent window. Torrent status is doubled in the status column and in the pics of the Name column. I offer my vision of the interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Grouped together, yes, but the order of those groups is weird. Read my feature request on sorting status for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeLost Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'd have to say i agree with Huck. I'd rather the status icon be separate from the Name column, in its own column. That way i can place it where i want it in the column order.Currently it's:--Done--Name--Size--Completed--Status--etc--However I'd like to be able to set it like:--Icon--Done--Name--Size--Completed--Status--etc-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
