Feedback For 0.6

[sab12397]

I decided to give 0.6 beta 2 a try mainly as it give totals of the amount downloaded. 

However, I can find no method of changing these totals with my initial values?  Usually in the past I have edited a text file but I can't find it?  Also looking at it there is no all time total which is essential if you are on a block account.  Is this possible?

A few other points (using Plush as if others are going to be removed...):

1. There are no GUI options to adjust the logging options?
2. Is the cleanup list still case sensitive?  If it is can it be changed as having to specify all the extensions and at minimum upper/lower case versions is a bit messy?
3. I wish the Warnings were not persistent - you can turn off the other logging why not the Warnings?  Perhaps once they are a certain configurable age they could be removed automatically?
4. The ini was not upgraded for me I had to specify all my settings again.

Overall generally it seems to be working for me but I do not use many of the enhanced features etc.

1. Yes there is, Status page, tab "Recent Warnings".
2. The way it's implemented now makes it very hard. See your point, low prio for now.
3. No, there warnings for a reason. 0.6.0 has eliminated may unnecessary warnings
4. Did you write-protect it or did you use a non-standard location?

Thanks.  Any comment on editing the bandwidth totals?  I have found an overall bandwidth total on the server page which is good but not exactly in an easy to reference location - pity it is not on the main downloads page with the weekly etc totals bottom right.  Not being able to edit the total and not displaying it on the main page is making a potential useful new feature difficult to use for anyone with a block/payd account where weekly/daily/monthly totals are great to know but not the figure that is needed?

I do reference my own inifile in a none default location.  The wizard ended up displaying so something was not correct but I have no means of giving you any further information now as I am working with 0.6.  Using Linux.

Edit:
Quicky typo? Not sure if "Only Get Articles for Top of Queue" is correct but perhaps "for" should be "from"?

TIA

The overall bandwidth is on the main page of Plush, the recommended skin.
Yeah, that "for" is a typo.

If you started the new version with the -f parameter, it would have done the upgrade.
Without even showing the Wizard.

Thanks I can confirm the following day overall total is now displayed on the main page.  Not sure if that is a bug or you have to use for a certain amount of time for it to appear.

I assume no mention of editing the totals again means what I think it means

A hint of what filename they are stored in would be useful?

TIA

Sorry, the totals are in a so-called Python pickle file.
You'd have to write a little Python program to edit it.
It should really be stored in XML or JSON, but there's so much to do

The overall total is no longer being displayed on the main page! 

Wild guess is it only displaying when there is something in the queue?  I will report back the next time I use.

I'm looking at it now.
Bottom right of the Plush main page.
Four numbers: Today, this week, this month, total.
