"Leave Open" and Profile Details Option in the progress box #385

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What should be implemented?
In addition to the "Keep window on top" concealed option in the progress box, 
add a "Leave open" option along with details of the current profile.

Why it will be useful?
This will mainly be useful for people who want to compare speeds and 
compression ratios of different profiles.  After compressing a file multiple 
times you could have multiple summary windows open showing all the details 
including the final time.

Such option already exists. As you can find in 
http://freearc.org/history/changelog_full.htm :

FreeArc 0.52 alpha (July 27, 2009)
Changes:
    * Added option --pause-before-exit with the following settings:
       on – always make a pause
       off – never make a pause
       on-warnings – make pause if there were any warnings due operation
       on-error – if program exits due to error

    * Default settings for the option:
       off – for console mode
       on – for "test" command in GUI mode
       on-warnings – for other commands in GUI mode

    * In FileManager mode this option is ignored

So, you need to write "--pause-before-exit=on" in the "Additional options" 
input box and use "Detach" command button. For saving profile details, you can 
use the archive name

I will think about implementing your suggestions, in particular, it may be 
selection "What to do after operation: close/leave/shutdown PC/..."

Profile description may be too large, may be it should just show the 
commandline being executed?

Thanks for the reply.  I now understand how to make this behaviour work.  It 
would be handy be able to enable it "on the fly", but it's fine for me now to 
activate it using the switch.

When I said "profile description", I was actually meaning the command line 
description of the operation.  There is nothing more precise or concise!
