SABnzbd Forums

Hi guys!

I've been a sab user for years but this is my first post in the forums! I decided to make an account because I've had an annoyance with sab since the very beginning and thought it would be worth a shot to post in here.

Currently, you can rearrange files that are downloading in real time just by dragging and dropping them. The previous top download will suspend and the new one will start. This is an EXCELLENT feature!

BUT.... I would like that SAME functionality in the History section. Sometimes I'll start a bunch of downloads I want and they will all download quickly and go into the history where they can be checked, repaired, extracted, and post-processed. My problem is that the order they are extracting is not based on what I want to watch "right now". If I could move those around to dictate which one proccesses next, I'd be SOOOOO happy.

I understand that you may not be able to move the currently processing file down the order because it would be difficult to interrupt the extraction and stuff, but I would be more than happy to just be able to arrange the ones that aren't processing at that moment just so I could manually queue what gets processed next.

Is this possible? If it's already feature and I'm an idiot for not seeing it, I'm sorry! Otherwise, if this could be added to sabnzbd, I would be forever grateful and would gladly donate if there is an option to do that somewhere!

Thank you for your time!

It could be done for the jobs still waiting for post processing.
Although it's rather tricky since a job might suddenly enter post-processing.
I'll put it on the feature list, but be aware that this list is quite full already.

Yeah as I said above, I understand that it probably wouldn't be easy to reorder the ones that have already started processing. I'm just asking to be able to reorder the queue to be checked/repaired/extracted. I understand that the one already going will have to stay where it is. :-)

There's only one and stopping it would mean aborting it, which would be a bit of a waste.

Right. :-) That's why I 100% understand that the only ones that should be able to be reordered are the ones not processing.
