[cgi] merging of Ed2kdump and massupdate (no real bug)

Post by kidan »

Well, I just thought:

Why not let the user change the state of a bunch of files via ed2kdump. So I tried to set infos for files already in mylist by this. The result was: only 'file already in list'-errors. I think it would be better to change the behavior to this:

If a given file is already in mylist just update its entries and give out 'updated file XYZ'. pretty much like the massupdate feature does.

Basically I'm saying why not merge both pages into one.
(this could be done via extending the massupdate-page with autoadding of unlisted files to mylist)

The way it is now might confuse some people. :mrgreen:


PS: probably this should be at the feature requests, but I think this is more like a little flaw in application-design.

Good idea, although I'd also count that as a feature-req ;)

I'd prefer a simple check-box instead of changing the whole behaviour... just "Update files I already have with these values" or "Update undefined/empty values only".
One should also think of priorities to not overwrite a "shared"/"release"-status with "on hdd" when mass-dumping files!
