Show which games are queued for downloading.
Added by
PooperDooper As name says. Show in your library which games are queued to download. This is so you if you are downloading many games, you don't have to click through all of them to check if they're queued for download or already have been downloaded.
DHLF Why hiding the download queue?
In earlier versions the progress was visible the whole time and..
it is really annoying to hit those little arrows(to show it for a short time) again and again -.-
nockgeneer To properly show the information, it would be good to make the pane wider. My suggestion for the status is something like this:
Game Name
Ready to play | Played for # min./hrs.
The second line would then shown a progress bar instead when downloading (installing or updating like it does now), and beneath it show this:
Queued for download (# kB/MB/GB) | Installing: #% of # kB/MB/GB | Updating: #% of # kB/MB/GB | Paused: #% of # kB/MB/GB
Showing the progress / speed numbers on a third line can be done by making those tiles taller (which would highlight that something was happening with it).
The bottom bar could still be kept to show the totals and download speed, but this way there would be no need for a hidden tray that's especially hard to find on high-dpi screens.
If you insist on keeping two lines, then it would be nice with the following for the second line:
Ready to play | Played for # min./hrs. | Queued (# kB/MB/GB) | Paused (#% of # kB/MB/GB) | [progress bar]
mintee the downward pointing arrow in bottom left of the galaxy pane shows the queue, and status of each download set. it would be nice however if there was a way to toggle this to show as long as you like, right now the display times out and you have to keep hitting it to keep track of mega downloads pending
elgonzo Eclipse +1 for making the effort of drawing up a mock-up nicely illustrating a possible and easy solution
ytsejam91 I think there already is something like this. The button with an arrow pointing down in the bottom left corner of the UI shows the list of queued and completed tasks. It could use some way to show that it's there though :\
Eclipse I've added a similar wish, and made a mockup for a possible solution: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4564667/gog_galaxy_betterdownload.png
