need new column in "Download List"

Postby andy » Fri Jun 14, 2013 4:01 am

I need a column in the Download List which shows the newsgroup name, or as a second the entire download path as is shown in Failed Downloads (very useful) and in Files List (duh??).

The cat walked across the keys while I was up recycling my Topo Chico, and I came back with 4,500,000 files in the Download List, and no way to figure out a good way to toss out the ones I didn't want. Sure, the 1200 BluRay movies were easy to find with the "Size" column but the rest no way. I had to go to the NewsBin folder and kill the whole "downloads" file, which left me with the characteristic flaw of not being able to go back and repeat the last week's downloads, where the duplicate checker will toss out the unneeded (a GREAT feature).

Maybe I missed something?

The newsgroup name is not one of the available columns in the Download list, but the download path is one of the standard ones. If you do not have that one then it probably means you shrunk its width to zero.

That was it— thanks very much!
I punished the cat— she can't walk on the keyboard for three days. Bad kitty.

She still capably handles my spell chicken.
