Description

Suggestion

make the download view more compact

There is lots of unused space and unneccessary characters in the fields and much space that can be compacted in the cells of displayed data

add option to make the following modifications to display 1-3 character info instead of the long words:

instead of 1.23 GiB -> 1.23G and remove space left right and over and under
Status: instead of Queued -> just display "Q"
Seeding -> "S"
Moving -> "Mv"
Downloading -> "DL"
ETA: much space unused in field can be compacted as well.

or add option for custom replacement and option to modify the space in the cells of the list.

Use case

all

Status: instead of Queued -> just display "Q"
Seeding -> "S"
Moving -> "Mv"
Downloading -> "DL"

Just minimize that column's width.

[odarcan]

minimum size of the column fits the entire word 'Seeding'

If you make the columns that "thin", you won't be able to read anything.

[odarcan]

the solution is to display D instead of Downloading etc

I don't like this idea. It will only make the UI ugly and confusing.
IMO, if we are talking about compact UI, then I would mean something like the one Transmission has. I.e. have no Table view but instead a list of custom widgets that can be either in collapsed or expanded state. Or even widgets with some kind of "flow" layout so their height depends on their width.
