Hi

I have some longer-running post-processing scripts doing some recoding on certain categories and I used to have the History set to
"Show Failed" and it showed all failed AND all processing/waiting jobs in the history.
After starting another batch of those, I now notice that the waiting/processing aren't shown any more when "Show Failed" is on in 4.2.1.
Could that please be reverted back or another toggle button added or something in the Web Interface settings?
It was very useful to me to hide everything that has completed without issues, and just show errors and post-processing queued items.

Thanks

You can now filter on status. Failed is only to show failed items.

So for example try:
status:Queued,Running

Thanks, that works.
Unfortunately that's a lot less convenient since it forgets it when I close the window and I have to retype it every time when I want to see that view.
It's a work-around, but I would still love to see it going back to the old way or it being configurable as a view.
Or maybe with the new search capabilities having the ability to save some default searches that can be saved would be nice?

It doesn't make sense to show processing downloads when filtering for Failed Downloads. So we won't be adding that back unfortunately.
We could indeed remember the filter.

I understand. I guess it was a bug that worked for me . Probably not enough demand for a "processing" filter button either I guess .

That would be nice to have

I gave it some thought and for now I am using a Chrome plugin called "Site Connector" in which I have set up a JavaScript code that enters the "status:Queued,Running" text into the search field and triggers the search. So that works for now for me.

Thanks for the quick replies and SABnzbd.

I think the reason that we don't remember the search is so that users don't accidentally have a filter active from a while ago and then complain that they can't find/see their jobs.
Difficult!

True. Maybe in the long run a set of pre-entered filters configurable in the settings that are available in a drop-down in the front-end if custom filters have been entered? Or like a Select2 box with free entry that uses the custom filters and allows entry like your search box?
I haven't looked at the documentation yet for the new filtering capabilites (couldn't actually find it), but if there are a few options people may want to re-use, it'd be nice to have.

You are right about the lack of documentation.
I added it now:

That's great. Thank you.
I have my script now changed to set the field to "status:Queued,Moving,QuickCheck,Repairing,Running,Verifying,Failed" (to only hide "Completed") so I can see everything that's going on and/or that needs my attention, but hides the jobs that finished without problems.
Kind of like a "Hide Completed" feature

Aehm - stupid question. I can't find a wiki search and I can't find which page https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/extra/glitter-tips-and-tricks is linked from to get there?

When you first start SABnzbd it's shown, there's no direct link indeed.
Another thing I should improve!
