Downloads Screen

[sac9665]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I would like to see the Downloads screen be a seperate tab. That way I can see more of the status on my DL's instead of having to scroll up and down the list.

You can resize the dwnld window by dragging the sections up or down. I've certainly broadened my dwnld window area vertically & horizontally using that technique. You can also resize the main window by dragging the corner up/down/left/right. Here's an exagerated example below:

I'm aware of that, but when you do you shrink your search window and it becomes a pain dragging things back and forthm at least for me it does.

That's why I made the suggestion.

I think your suggestion is very good. IMHO if you could drag the dwnld pane out so it creates its own window - so then you can see more detail on both the search & dwnld windows. You can do that with some programs. eg: Adobe have used that technique for a no. of years. And you can drag the windows back together. Apple is another that uses that technique with their pro apps.

Actually I just learnt something today.

If you click the very small arrow to the right of the screen (see image), the one that points up will display 'ONLY' the downlds pane & fill up the screen. If you press the arrow pointing down it will siplay only the Search results.

Yes I discovered that too while trying diiferent things, but it's still a pain. I think it should be a seperate tab. So you would have Search, Downloads, Monitor or (Uploads) and Library.

Another possiblity would be to have the top poriton of th emonitor page be dl's and the bottom portion uploads (The way it is now). I personally have not seen much use out of the incoming searches section of the monitor page.

Again, just a suggestion, but I think most people are more concerned about the status of thier downloads rather than the status of thie uploads.

Thanks
