Files Lost from Files List After crash

Postby Bismark » Sun Aug 14, 2011 3:16 am

I there any way Newsbin could be modified to update its files list table so that when the computer crashes or Newsbin crashes, all the files loaded before the crash are listed in the files tab? Clearly Newsbin knows what it has been downloading and resumes that, how about it not losing files it put in the files tab?

Thank you, this would be a great improvement for those of us who have a stability problem with our computer.

Well, I could. I don't really consider the files list to be that important. The files remain on your hard disk even if the entry in the files list goes away. The current design makes no real effort to save the files list.

I'll think about it.

Just a note of how I use the files list. Even though the files are in the folders, I usually just browse through the files list to use them. Likewise, it is important to see the last ones downloaded as they may be the ones you just wanted.

Hope this helps.
