Soulseekqt mac sort file results7/22/2023 ![]() Especially huge searches are often a big problem for people with hardware that's not very powerful. The other big change to the client is a setting to limit the number of search results processed and displayed for a particular search. It eventually occurred to me that, if I have a problem with the user downloading anything that's not visible to them, why not just show the user exactly what they would be downloading and then ask them for confirmation? The new download folder dialog goes a bit further, giving you the option of individually selecting which of the files you wish to queue (with the default being all of them.) Sure, you could browse for that particular folder in the user's share, but retrieving an entire user's share takes time, and is somewhat prone to failure. Many of you being so used to the original function either complained or flat out reported it as a bug. Building SoulseekQt, this struck me as an irresponsible way to do things, and so I opted to treat 'download folder' as meaning: download all files in the folder that are seen in the results. ![]() You'd get a warning if too many files were involved, but otherwise you'd be getting everything. ![]() Used to be in the good ol' days, you'd run a search that only returns a particular file in a particular folder, and feeling especially lucky you'd use the download folder option to queue everything in the folder for download, whatever that may be. Changing the way downloading folders via search results works in SoulseekQt has a been a source of frequent (if not overwhelmingly frequent) complaints.
