Seperation of Uploads/Downloads

I just upgraded from 0.25 to 0.4 and I am a bit dissapointed with one major UI redesign. In .25, current uploads were at the bottom of the transfer window, and current downloads were at the top. This was great, as it made it really easy to see what was going both ways, even at a quick glance. Now, with them clumped together at the top, it is really hard to see which are uploads and which are downloads. I've gotten them confused many times, and I even have trouble telling them apart.

A very large part of this problem is that the only difference between an upload and a download is the color. Being rather color blind, I have trouble telling them apart without having to look really quite hard to see which is which. This is getting really frustrating, and did .25 not crash so much, I would consider downgrading.

Does anyone know how to rectify this problem? If not, is there anyway this can be implemented, with consideration to those with color-impairments.

Colors are configurable - Settings > Appearance > Downloads, Uploads.

Enjoy.

And pre` what does changing the colors achieve? Other than making it a different combination I cant see...

Well, I presume that since you're the one with the colorblindness, you can see which colors contrast most.

The old sorting scheme will not be back, so customizing your color scheme is the best way to achieve your goal.

why can't you just click the status column so downloads and uploads are seperated

Another solution would be to mod the code yourself, I've done it and I'ts pretty easy, look at function compareItems in file TransferView.h and modify it the way you want the sortorder in TransferView to be. Of course you have to redo it everytime you upgrade to a new client but......A little modding is just healthy for you :wink:

Or get your code from CVS. That way you won't have to repeat any changes. Just rebuild.
