Description Mohd Asif Ali Rizwaan 2005-02-25 05:51:32 UTC
Version:           v0.8.3 (using KDE 3.3.2, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.29

Currently KGet support only these fields to sort with.
[S] [Local File Name] [Count] [Resumed] [%] [Total] [Speed] [Rem. Time] [Address (URL]

It is very difficult to identify the file and look for information based on file-type in KGet.
Example:

===========================================
[s]  [filename] [Count] [Resumed] [%] [Total] 
-><- file1.png    1/1   
->   file2.txt    1/1  
->o  file3.mp3    1/1   
->o  file4.bmp    1/1   
->o  file5.ogg    1/1  
->o  file2.png    1/1        
->   file3.txt    1/1        
->o  file4.mp3    1/1        
->o  file5.bmp    1/1        
->o  file6.ogg    1/1  
->o  file1.txt   1/1        
->   file2.txt    1/1        
->o  file3.mp3    1/1        
->o  file4.bmp    1/1        
->o  file5.ogg    1/1  
===========================================
Can't u see that it is very difficult to figure out where is file3.mp3.

If you add [Type] field then the above chaos can become orderly table, well sorted out table.

As in Konqueror -View Mode -> Detailed List view

like:
===========================================
[s]  [filename] [type] [Count] [Resumed] [%] 
-><- file4       bmp    1/1   
->   file5       bmp    1/1  
->o  file3       mp3    1/1   
->o  file4       mp3    1/1   
->o  file5       ogg    1/1  
->o  file6       ogg    1/1        
->   file1       txt    1/1        
->o  file2       txt    1/1        
->o  file3       txt    1/1        
->o  file1       png    1/1  
->o  file2       png    1/1        
->   file2       txt    1/1        
...
===========================================

Now locating information is quite easy. 


"-><-" connected, 
"->" queued 
"->o" scheduled
the animated connection status icons.

[X], [J], [m], [M], are the file mime icons.

Thank you.

kget uses the order in the download list to prioritize downloads. Therefore we can't use a different sorting order. This will change in kget2
