Title: Allow Context Menu Resume Even when Active Files Are Selected
Post by: kristof on April 06, 2011, 06:57:43 PM
I would like to be able to quickly select a block of files with a shift and click operation, right click for the context menu, and choose "resume."  The problem is that aMule removes the "resume" option from the context menu if I have selected any files that are already active.  Pretty smart but it makes more work for me.  I must control-click on every file that is active to remove it from the multiple selection before I can resume.

My request is to always allow the "resume" option so long as at least one file of a multiple selection is inactive.  aMule should be smart enough to resume only the files that can be resumed and do nothing for already active files.

I can make a patch for this against 2.3.1rc1 if it would be accepted.

You could always sort by status, so the resumable files are in one block.

First the patch, then we'll see about it. (I personally don't see anything bad in your request, so your patch could go on unless anyone vetoes it with a good reason.)

Ok, when I get around to doing it for myself I will produce a patch.  Unless amule code is doing some very strange things it should be a trivial change.

Haha. Ohboy. There goes another poor soul.

Make sure to check your sanity at the door before reading any code.

Don't scare off new volunteers like that.  ;)

And it really shouldn't be that hard. (No, I didn't check it out.)
