Multi-Operations: cannot change more than 1 attribute

[KeesC]

Hello,

When I have an list of downloads, I can select Multi-Operations, select all downloads and change the attributes (Category, Priority etc.) of all selected downloads in one action.

However, changing more than one attribute in one operation does not work.

In order to change more than 1 attribute of the selected downloads, I must change 1 attribute of the selected downloads, stop Multi-Operations, reenter Multi-Operations, select again all downloads and change a second attribute.

Please check,
Thanks, Kees.

Any reaction?

Can you pause the queue and enable Debug logging in the Status and Interface settings window, then try again to apply the changes at once.
I cannot replicate this problem.

One thing to note is that each option is applied separately. So if your category has a specific (non-Default) Priority/Script/Post-processing setting, it might overwrite a custom setting for any of these from multi-editing.

What I did:
I have 5 downloads in the queueu, all with Category=Default, Priority=Normal, PostProcessing=Delete, Scripts=None.
I enabled Debug logging.
I did not Resume the queue.
I clicked Multi Operations
I clicked Check All at the right bottom
At the bottom line, I changed Category to "groot" and Priority to Low and pressed Enter.
I unselected Mutli Operations and check the status of the 5 downloads.
All 5 had the Category changed to "groot", but the Priority remained Normal.

How do I send the log?

Most likely the category Groot has a priority set to Normal in Config Categories. So your custom priority is overwritten by the category one.
Maybe that should be improved a bit to always do category first.

[KeesC]

No, Groot has priority set to Default. The intention of this category is to change the Folder/Path.
What does this do when I change a category to Groot?

Usually I use Category Groot in order to change the Folder/Path and Priority to lower the priority.
Am I right that I can do this by setting the priority to Low in the Category settings?

[safihre]

Yes, that should work.

Stragenly I still cannot reproduce your problem.
You could send the log to [email protected]

[KeesC]

Yes, that works.

Note that the Priority in the Groot category was Default, not Normal.
What is priority=Default?

I sent you the log.

3.7.2: - Apply other changes only after updating the `Category` in multi-edit.

Thanks, that will clear up the confusion!
