650B15-3007
Win7 AMD x64

Server color selection not working or always white, Blocks turn blue after downloaded.

Subject: pane, right click properties does nothing (Newsbin crashed first time I tried it). Works OK in Download Descriptions: pane.

Properties I know about. Thanks.

Not sure about server color. When you click the button does the color picker pop up?

Yes, in the server settings window the color change works OK.

I notice that the color change works for header downloads after saving configuration file.

The older Newsbin version would mark file download blocks that were being downloaded in the color of the server, then solid (server colored) blocks when that block is actually downloaded.

Now all I see are solid dark blue blocks after each block is actually downloaded.

Also, the first block of each line of blocks does not change color, though the size says that they were downloaded.
---

I do not see lines of empty blocks either (like 50 separate white blocks), though it may be because the file being downloaded normally would show a long white empty line anyway. Prior Newsbin version did or did not show empty white blocks depending on what was being downloaded. Header downloading never showed empty separate white blocks, as an example.

OK, now I see what is going on.

When I queue a complete download (has a "+" preceding the title in subject line) all works OK.

When I open the "+" subject line and download individual parts, the server color confusion happens.

That would explain why I don't see it.

I see it too. It's doing "percent" mode and not showing individual blocks. I'll have to look deeper, thanks.
