View Full Version : save *.fqf with an empty queue

I have a suggestion:

It would be nice if it was possible to save a queue file (*.fqf) that doesn't have any file in the queue.

It's because I am used to double click a shortcut pointing to a *.fqf file in order to start flashfxp and let him automatically proceed the queue. I can save the queue when there is one file left, but not when there is no more file in it. So when I execute de *fqf, flashfxp starts to handle the queue even if the last file was already uploaded or downloaded.

What I would like to do is, when the queue has gotten empty, to save the *.fqf file in order to know the next time, that all the files have been fully handled.

What do you think about this suggestion ?


Thank you in advance :)

i don't exactly understand why you want this:confused:
when you transfer something if that transfer is sucessfull your queue window will be empty.
if there was some error then you will see those files marked as failed.

An example:

(dl.fqf is always on my desktop, ready for use)

1) I want to dl 2 files today: 1.pdf and 2.pdf
2) I put those files in the queue and save it as dl.fqf
3) I don't want to dl now because I want to surf so I close flashfxp.
4) A bit after, I double-clic the dl.fqf that is on my desktop and the download starts.
5) yeah, 1.pdf is done and 2.pdf has started to be downloaded but now I want to stop flashfxp, so I save the dl.fqf and exit. Now, there is only 2.pdf that remains in the dl.fqf.
6) A bit later I double-clic dl.fqf and the download of 2.pdf starts.
7) 2.pdf has been successfully retrieved :-)
8) I cannot save dl.fqf because the queue is empty, so I exit flashfxp and that's all.
9) I fetch 1.pdf and 2.pdf and put them in an other directory.
10) The next time I log on my computer (next week perhaps ... ?) I will execute dl.fqf and flashfxp will start to re-download 2.pdf even if I already have it in an other direcory. That's normal because it is still in the dl.fqf and no more in the destination directory.
If it was possible to save an empty queue in dl.fqf, I will immediately know that everything has been downloaded and I won't have to look in other directories if I have already downloaded 2.pdf

In this optic, an autosave option of the queue would also be nice (perhaps it is already possible ?)

Is it clearer ? ^__^
