Show more than one label at the same time

Post by TheInvoker »

Now i can see torrens of 1 label or ALL.

Clicking on "LABEL" should select/deselect ALL labels but every label should have the chance to be selected individually

I think clicking on "LABEL" does the job as expected.
but I second the possibility of selecting multiple labels:
via checkbox so it works nicely in QBT webUI
or using the CTRL key.
I would even wish that the whole concept of Labels go away and is replaced by the concept of tags, and that each torrent could be tagged multiple times.

utorrent can do these.
But i don't know if i prefer to have a torrent inside 2 labels. it can be confusing. Also about labels utorrent is so bad because when a label has 0 torrent inside,the label disappear and you have to recreate it when you downeload a torrent you want to put there  :o

we just have to choose which is the best client for what we need. at the moment qbittorrent wins for me

Labels in latest release (3.4.0 branch) are more for actually sorting downloads into folders than an arbitrary classification now.
I too would like a tags feature seperate to the label system.

What do you mean "sorting into folders"?
Sorting in the client is really bad because client keeps only the current setting

Let's Say i want to sort torrent by label (to have a partial solution from the fact i can't select more than 1 label at the same time).
So i sort them by label but i don't know why the lose the setting to be sorted alphabetically.

if i have torrents A B C D E F,with A B E in label 1,D in label 2 and C F in label 3,sorting by label i would espect to have this
A
B
E
D
C
F

but i could have

B
E
A
D
F
C

When saving a torrent in the latest client (3.4.0 && 3.3.5 when it hits) with the advanced saving system enabled you can append the label to the save path.
For example my save path is X:\Torrents

If i label a torrent as "Movies" it will save it to
X:\Torrents\Movies\

Or more Usefully if my Savepath is X:\Torrents\Movies
And i label something as Fantasy and another thing as Mystery

They will respectively save to
X:\Torrents\Movies\Fantasy
and
X:\Torrents\Movies\Mystery

Or even more usefully if i have the save paths say..
X:\Torrents\TV Series 1\
X:\Torrents\TV Series 2\
And i have labels called "season 1, season 2 etc"
I can append that label to the episode im downloading and get X:\Torrents\TvSeries 1\Season 1\<Filename>

ok i asked but then your initial answer was off topic. Bringing "sorting by folder" was only counfusing
It's a bad feature because onl few people can use it.
I save files into different paths. id on't use this feature at all.
D:\AAAA
E:\AAAA\BBBB
It's useful only for those who use the same folder for everything and save files into the folders inside that folder (and not their subfolders)
It would be more useful a feature like associate a save path to a folder,like the old BitSpirit had (still has but old client now)

BUT THIS A TOTALLY DIFFRENT THING FROM ORIGINAL TOPIC and also from sorting into the client.

it's not necessary to set 2 parameter for sorting

This is Winamp and as you can see (red circle) i keep songs sorted by artist,but software is smart enough to keep the right sequence of songs (1-2-3-4 etc etc) and songs from the same CD together

Let's say i want to sort by "track number"....i see all "1" songs but they are listed in alphabetical order

You asked

[quote="TheInvoker"]

[/quote]

And i answered that, what your actual question asks (as far as i can tell is this)
"Can i globally sort my torrents by 2 categories simultaneously" to which the answer is no, you cant thats not implemented. (but it really really should be...)

In the meantime.. you can however select the Label you want to look at by expanding the labels tab to view the torrents for that label then sort them by another column.

Each label = a seperate category, there isnt a way to "combine" labels currently, im pretty sure that someone has actually suggested allowing multiple labels for sorting (put stuff in shared labels and select the shared label, eg movies as a shared label with the sub-labels Fantasy, Action, Comedy etc, you could select "movies" to view everything with it or just "action" to only view that category)

As linocajo said here..

This is likely going to happen as the "labels" function is ben repurposed as a folder sorting tool.
Extra/Repurposed Functionality of labels is described here
https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/4696
https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/pull/4784

Proposed idea of a "tagging" system was suggested a super long time ago here:
https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/13

And probably needs to be revisited soon..
