Queue (Pending articles) questions
Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2005 6:04 pm
Is there any way to filter (search) the queue in UE? I just needed to do this now, and I can't figure out how to do it (or if it can be done).
I really really liked the ability to filter the queue in NewsPro (in the Pending Tasks window). Also I notice that in UE the queue is not like all other article windows, but has different properties (different right-click commants etc.)
Another thing I can't figure out, for example, is how to sort the queue alphabetically. Let's say that I am downloading a RAR set consisting of 60 .RAR files. And let's say I want to cancel the whole thing. In NP, I could either filter for part of the subject "subject contains" and/or I could sort the pending tasks window alphabetically, so that I could get all the files of a post "together" to select and cancel them. How do you do that in UE?
Another thing I can't figure out how to do is change a pending article's priority. In NP, I could right-click on it and select "Download with Priority" and select the desired priority. I can't do that in UE though. I know that I can rearrange and move artibles up and down, but that's not very helpful if I can't filter or sort so that I can select what I want to move up or down.
I don't mind that things are different in UE, I just want to make sure that I can (and know how to) do the same things I used to do in NP, even if in a different way.
