being able to undo deletion of things in dl queue
I accidently deleted my whole dl queue. I had a backup from a week ago but it would be nice if we could 'undo' deletion, like we can in Windows

I don't think most users will delete important queue items by accident if the confirm option is on. However, I think there was a bug that if you selected 2 or more items to delete simultaneously, it deleted the entire queue. Not sure if it has been fixed (don't want to risk my queue to find out).
I think a backup/restore option would be nice. It could work in either of the following ways:
1) Deleting items from the queue does not delete them physically until the user exists DC++, therefore letting him restore queue items until that time.
2) Items will not be deleted physically, but there will be several buttons: a button to delete the 'backup', and an option to limit file size, i.e. if a user wants to back up only files up to 10 MB he should be able to, so the backup won't take up ridiculous HD space. Obviously larger files won't be backed up then.
Just my 2 cents.

Sorry, I don't see that bug, and I've never heard about it reported. Unless there's something beyond "selecting two items and pressing delete" needed to recreate it, it either doesn't exist, or has never existed.Ynhockey wrote:However, I think there was a bug that if you selected 2 or more items to delete simultaneously, it deleted the entire queue.

See, it's the "sometimes" that is the stumbling block.llama_thumper wrote:t sometimes removes the whole queue.
I've, honestly, never heard of it reported before. If you could figure out how to trigger the "sometimes", we can fix it.
The code is pretty self explanatory. I think the only way you could delete your whole queue without selecting a bunch of files would be to press delete in the folder list when the root of your queue is selected. That could happen by accident, but probably not due to a DC++ bug.
