Description Xenophon 2008-02-23 17:08:22 UTC 
Version:           2.2.5 (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The tray icon has two options: Start all and Stop all. It would be nice if these were "Resume all" and "Pause all" instead. 

The reasoning behind this is that these options are usually only used for a limited period when the user wants bandwidth  for other purposes. Moreover, the user will want all his torrents to return to their (exact) state as when he paused them. Or in other words, when I say resume all, I only want to resume those torrents that were active when I hit pause all. The current functionality does not pay heed to this.

Also, if I hit pause all and close KTorrent, I would expect all paused (and not stopped) torrents to resume when I reopen KTorrent. An option to autoresume paused torrents after X hours will be handy in the case where the user has forgotten to resume them manually.

Thanks for your work Joris!

Talk about quick turnaround times - thanks! From the code, it doesn't look like the autoresume after x hours feature has been added. Should I open a separate feature request for that?

Thanks again.

Yes, that is a separate feature, so it would be good to open a new one for it
