Feature Request: Subfolders in the left panel

[xruyn]

It would be nice to do the navigation in folders by subfolders. For example, if there are several torrents that are inside a single folder. In the same folder is another folder, which also has torrents. But all the torrents in the left panel are displayed together. We must share them.

how to do it? the program displays the information of your transmission.

Hello, it's possible.

Example. I have this directories structure:

/data/downloads/Anime
/data/downloads/Films
/data/downloads/Music

Now in transgui right panel i see only last folders:

Anime
Films
Music

Then i want to download some content to subfolders

/data/downloads/Anime/==Sub1
/data/downloads/Anime/==Sub2
/data/downloads/Films/==Sub3
/data/downloads/Films/==Sub4

Now in right panel i see somthing like tree:

Anime
==Sub1
==Sub2
Films
==Sub3
==Sub4
Music

They will go in right order. Any torrent have Location atribute with full path to content, for example: /data/downloads/Anime/=Sub1/Naruto

Thus, you can count the segments in the path and display a subfolder with a slight offset to the right of the main folder.

/data/downloads/Anime/
/data/downloads/Anime/=Sub1/

Anime
   Sub1
   Sub2
Films
   Sub3
   Sub4
Music

I'm new to pascal. This is an example of what I mean:

Uses
  SysUtils;
Const torrentsCount = 6;  
Var
  Paths: array [1..torrentsCount] of String;
  Depths: array[1..torrentsCount] of integer;
  i,j:integer;
  relativeDepth,minDepth:integer;
  dir,spacer:string;

function count(s : string; c : char) : byte;
var k, i : byte;
begin
  k := 0;
  for i := 1 to length(s) do
    if s[i] = c then inc(k);
  count := k
end;

Begin 

  spacer := '  ';

  Paths[1] := '/main/anime/naruto.avi';
  Paths[2] := '/main/anime/sub1/totoro.avi';
  Paths[3] := '/main/anime/sub2/bleach.avi';
  Paths[4] := '/main/movie/avatar.avi';
  Paths[5] := '/main/movie/sub1/movie43.avi';
  Paths[6] := '/main/movie/sub2/scarymovie.avi';

  // Test
  Writeln('Full paths to files:');
  for i := 1 to length(Paths) do begin
      writeln(Paths[i]);
  end;

  // Test
  Writeln('Full paths to dirs:');
  for i := 1 to length(Paths) do begin
      writeln(ExtractFileDir(Paths[i]));
  end;

  // Test
  Writeln('Files list:');
  for i := 1 to length(Paths) do begin
      writeln(ExtractFileName(Paths[i]));
  end;

  // Get all Depths
  for i := 1 to length(Paths) do begin
      Depths[i] := count(ExtractFileDir(Paths[i]),'/');
  end;

  // Get minDepth
  minDepth := Depths[1];
  for i := 1 to length(Depths) do begin
    if Depths[i]<minDepth then minDepth:=Depths[i]
  end;
  Writeln('minDepth: ',minDepth);

  Writeln('Directories with depth:');
  for i := 1 to length(Paths) do begin
      dir := ExtractFileName(ExtractFileDir(Paths[i]));
      relativeDepth := Depths[i] - minDepth;
      if relativeDepth <> 0 then begin
        for j := 1 to relativeDepth do
          Write(spacer);
        Write('└');
      end;
      Writeln(dir);

End.  

UPD. Output:

anime
  └sub1
  └sub2
movie
  └sub1
  └sub2

TRGUI displays the information of your transmission (Web interface transmission). In my opinion this is a useless idea.

1. TRGUI displays the information of your transmission (Web interface transmission). In my opinion this is a useless idea.

This is not true. You form a flat list from paths for grouping by directories on the side of TRGUI:

main.pas --> string 6075
main.lfm --> string 2469

2. Workaround with subdirectory naming (starts with =) is very useful for big torrents collection. Why dont implement this feature in a code?

[leonsoft-kras]

We are waiting for your code changes. If the code will work - we will add to this project.

Hi, I done as said above: https://github.com/evsasha/transgui/tree/issue-1133

It works, but:

• There are some bugs
• I don't like how it looks

But it's working idea. Maybe i should just change the icon for subdirectories, but I don’t mean where it can be done. Can u give me some help with it?

I did not understand what do this piece of code works: lvFilter.Items [-1, j]: = UTF8Decode (Paths [i]);

[evsasha]

Colleagues, I had a try to demonstrated the conceptual potential of working with subdirectories, but I do not have enough experience to implement this idea. If you can continue to work on this idea, the whole community will benefit.

[leonsoft-kras]

Thanks. Not all ideas are interesting. Not all improvements have enough time.

I'd like to +1 this and add the ability to hide torrents by folder/subfolder. For people like me who like to help out open source projects by seeding multiple versions for multiple systems, it'd be nice to have a way to organize and hide my big collection of Debian ISOs or LibreOffice installers.
