[Improovment] SetMaxDownloadSpeed

[cazzoo]

Hi,

Using webUi since some time, I just thought that It would be a good idea to have a quick access to some parameters. I mean, we could have the ability to set the maxDL speed on the top bar.
Otherwise, we could have something like starred properties that would be accessible directly into a dropdown menu left of top "Other" menu item.

What do you think about?

If It's not clear, just tell me I would send screenshots of what I'm meaning.
Regards

starred properties seems like a decent feature, one alternative could also be having the max download and upload speeds and other common connection settings in the connection info dialog

I'm thinking about doing a quick popup from top navigation bar, since speed limiting is an often used feature in downloaders. Proof-of-concept would be to create inputs and make an aria_syscall on input change.

I've coded a fully working implementation here. I thought about using html5 type=number input for min and step parameters, but I would have to assume that the input will be given only in K.

This feature is important to me for allowing others to limit & pause downloads on my shared home network. I started using farnoy's solution and it works well!

[ziahamza]

We could easily generalize this into starred properties for basically all global and download settings, hope to implement this in the next version soon

[farnoy]

How's the progress lately? Using the ui for some time now, I still need the global limit speed functionality. I'm noticing many great changes lately, so thank you for your time.

BTW, could we maybe adjust the file listing so it doesn't take that much space? Maybe we could assume the same prefix and display it above the files:

instead of
/home/kuba/Downloads/Download.1/file
display:
In /home/kuba/Downloads/Download.1
/file

This would save some space since the file labels are inline-blocks.

starred settings is very near (first thing after angular impl is bootstraped), but if you want then @farnoy you could send me a pull request for your already coded version and I would merge it in,

And for the file names, I would make the paths relative (with respect to default dir) so rather than /home/kuba/Download/Download.1/file, it is ./Download.1/file

[farnoy]

I will merge my changes with upstream and send a pull request, so that we can discuss the feature in depth.

Relative paths sound great.

[ziahamza]

relative paths merged in as of now

[farnoy]

I have a small insight here

@cazsan @farnoy @carlmon Its finally landed, go to global settings and set all the properties for quick access, global speeds should be one of them and you can change them in one click :)
Does it fix this issue?

[ziahamza]

Starred options fix this issue. Its possible to add a starred property and have it show in the sidebar.
