Improved torrent save location selection (visual storage aliases manager) #453

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Ever since i started used transmission-remote-dotnet i felt like selecting 
torrent location during torrent loading is little inconvenient. First, user 
needs to input address of target folder in /linux/path/format without any 
control if it's available and second - if there are a lot of folders in list 
it's a bit complicated to find /specific/needed/folder/string in text list. So 
i've decided to write a sort of storage (bookmarks?) manager with ability of 
visual selection of folder. It looks like in attached images : Manager.jpg - 
storage manager itself, that creates a list of aliases (name, actual path, 
image); Selection.jpg - tile-like grid of images to that aliases. It's raw and 
simple, uses as much already available infrastructure (ie Jayrock Json for 
serializing information into json and simple managed methods to scale image and 
convert it to base64 back and forth for save/load process) and can be 
changed/redesigned in any fashion if needed. I've created a diff that describes 
two added forms (AliasesDialog and StorageManager) and two buttons in 
TorrentLoadDialog to show them as dialogs
