the new autopar stuff doesn't make much sense
I now am left with a list of what looks like incomplete downloads
I have all these items I want downloaded but they have all these incomplete purple bars next to them which normally means that the download didn't finish
but now since the meaning of "downloads" in the download table is false because someone thought it would be a good idea to completely destroy a simple but working usability paradigm, the downloads tabs is mislabeled or meaningless
please get someone with some HCI/usability experience to work on this beta or hire new ones or actually listen to them
parts of the UI have been completely ruined by merging the autopar info into downloads
a downloads tab is just supposed to list what is being downloaded
nothing more
items in a downloads list are things that aren't completely downloaded
NOT things that are downloaded but may or may not be completely checked by a system that has never fully worked right
It is no longer a downloads tab. it is a download&decode progress tab
and as for autopar, rather than try to do something weird with the UI, please spend more time working out the kinks in the autopar function first
there are a lot of cases where it just doesn't work
it gets confused and then stuck
and the old version of it didn't even have a good way clearing out the list when files were removed by hand
it needed some sort of "recheck which pars are still in place" function, instead it had something that sort of tried to restart all the checks
when the autopar stuff worked it was fine, but when it didn't at least it didn't trash other lists
