More specific scheduling options and queuing 111a20

[Bemer]

Hi guys,

Just started using FDM on macOS and I'm loving it! Being able to unify all of my various ing services into one app is wonderful (especially because I'm from South Africa and our internet isn't the greatest.) It makes a big difference to me to be able to target my bandwidth into 1 file at a time and leave things ing (and also not have to worry about taking up all of the bandwidth when my roommate is online.)

There are however two things which I think would take this app to the next level:

1. The ability to set certain times for certain profiles. Some apps do this by saying "restrict s between x and y," but honestly I think having the option to look at a graph of the week (like in uTorrent) means that one will not need to change that setting nearly as often. I've used apps with both options and I much prefer a more granular approach. With that being said, I would greatly appreciate any type of timed scheduler.

2. Predictable queuing. I understand there is a priority that can be set which affects which files get ed when, but I have already found myself in a situation where I have 20 s queued with say 8 of those being "high priority." But I am then unable to choose which will first (again, like we have with most other p2p apps.) If the app can already control which files get ed when, I think it would be very useful if s had an indication of the precise order in which the files are going to be ed and up/down buttons for changing that order.

Thanks and keep up the good work

Dear !

Could you kindly indicate the OS, FDM version number and browsers you're running?

1. The latest version has a scheduler. You can schedule now the s.
2. The feature is on our to-do list.

Hi,

Clive

Great manager FDM is.

Please explain how to use
wildcards (* or ?) and
date formats (YYYY, MM, DD)
in the creation of (scheduled) s.

Also, how does one export/import s with full recurring schedule?

One more thing, is there a chance the scheduled time could be in a column in the s tab? And when clicked one could adjust the time directly, while double click could open the scheduler window? Just a thought.

Thank you!

Now running version 5.1, but still cannot find the scheduling options mentioned above.
Please help.
Thanks!

I was expecting the scheduler to be in the settings, like in previous versions. It's not - it's a checkbox in the pop-up when you add a new . While I preferred the location in settings, I'm sure I can adapt to this. What I would like, however, is a setting to make using the scheduler the default, as opposed to having to check the box each time.

Version 5.1.37

Thanks for the input, will try to do something about it.

Hey, Clive I just want to know the second feature is available already or not Thanks.

Hello,
Up/down buttons already exists in FDM6. But you need to enable them in Options.
