Upload / Download bar

Wed Jun 25, 2008 7:47 am
Hello developers!
I currently use (in test purpose) Ktorrent 3.0.2 version on OpenSUSE 11.0 with KDE 4.1 Beta 1.

One feature what I have liked on Ktorrent, what have made it best over others bittorrent clients (there is other features too but this is futile ;-)), has be removed. I hope it is just a current version but the feature what I miss, is download/uploiad bar graphs on the systray icon. No, plasmoid cant replace it (altouth nice feature could be that too) so I hope that speed graphs are coming back to icon in systray.

There is lots of great small improvents all over the new version what makes Ktorrent even better!!

Sorry if I have now missed the setting to show it, but I have gone settings now two days just to find it!

At the moment there is no plan to bring the bars back, though they might show up in the plasmoid in some form. How the plasmoid is going to look is not yet decided, I haven't started developing it yet.

Oh, that's then bad news for me and my friend. Because he used ktorrent for that purpose too (I didn't know :-)).
I think that plasmoid cant replace the information, how a icon bars told right away the current usage. Not all can have the plasmoid top of windows like kget, or have a view to desktop where the plasmoid was.

Small thing but it did big effect for bittorrent usage information :-)

What's the problem with having them next to the icon? If it's configurable, no one should complain. Or is it some HIG issue?

It's a really nice thing, those bars. Gives you a quick preview of what's going on.

Yep, I loved that feature too. +1 to returning it back

So I would have 1+1 icon (ktorrent+plasmoid) on panel? No thanks ;-)
But it would be nice to have that plasmoid as optional, but to have possibility to see graphs on the systray icon, it's important :-)
