Auto-sort added nzbs/jobs according to "rules"

Post by GAMBRiNUS »

I have a lot of RSS's, and a lot of jobs are added. I kinda want small jobs (like less than 200 mb) when added (both from RSS and eventually manually) to be downloaded before any large jobs already being downloaded there.

So what I imagine is something like this:

Let's say jobs could be added to a "group" (or "sub-queue"): group A, group B, group C, and so on. Group A (or queue A) are processed before group B, and so on. And some customizable rules/filters with pull down menus which could make rules like these:
if job contents contains mp3 file, add to group A
if job size is less than 200 MB, add to group B
if job name contains dvdrip, add to group C
if job size is more than 5 GB, add to group D

Wouldn't this be useful for everyone?

In release 0.6.0 there will be a pre-queue user script.
You'll get the size of the job (and more) and you'll be able to return a modified category, priority etc.

Nice, nice! I'll be looking forward for the next release. But what about adding two more priorities, like "Lowest" and "Highest", as this will increase the ability to customize the queue?

Maybe something like this?
-100 Default
-10 Lowest
-1 Low
0 Normal
1 High
10 Highest

Not likely. We'd sooner replace it with a numerical-only setting.
