Folders in the "download to..." menu

Post by Twink » 2003-09-03 08:41

I like to sort my download queue alot putting movies into one directory, games, episodes etc into their own directories. At the moment to download a file I click 'download to...' then browse to the sub directory and press save. A thought I had (hoping it hasn't been posted before, I did search and go thru a few pages of stuff :? ) was that in the 'download to..' menu it could display not only files that match (alternates) like it does now, but show sub directories of the main download directory.

even thou my download queue is usually only about 10GB at any time I still like it sorted, maybe I'm just being a bit picky, anyone else do this too?

Would it be just a list of subdirectories, or could it be a list of "Favourite Folders" or something?

i was thinking sub directories, but 'favourite folders' would be more flexible i think. Although u wouldn't have to add sub folders to the list yourself obviously. I think I'd be happy either way.

While looking through the request tracker for something else, I found the following:

hmmm, not sure if that's quite the same thing, as they seemed to branch off into searching/matching alternates or something.

Hmm.
I was just searching for this feture request and found this.

It basicly match, and is partly function today by browse function.
Sometimes the folder list is coming up, and sometimes i have to brows for them.

How about a config option to set permanet folders in the menu.
Download to -->
Films --> c:\dc\film
Games -->g:\games\new
......
Brows (function for other..)
