MultiMaker text colouring/activity history

Haven't got a problem, just an enquiry.
When MultiMaker is done making and/or uploading its selected set of albums, the text turns Green... Which is good.
Would it be possible after this activity has been done and another set gets selected (same session) for the green text to remain on display.
I only ask as when other albums are selected, the green text of those previous successes gets replaced by the grey text again, and its easy to lose track of whats been done. So I just wondered if this approach would give users a better visual history of what has taken place during the session.
I know the bell notification offers this information, but the coloured text in MultMakers window is very useful in this respect.
Just a thought, I have added an image to give an idea of what I mean
Regards Peter

Sound practical to me. If you really want to reset the coloring to gray, then one just close and reopen the window. I'll have that small change done for the upcoming release.

Thats great, thanks David.
Yes, exactly that, the green text (or red) would only be there
for the one session of MultiMaker, a restart would set the text back to
Grey again.
In a visual sense and for a lot of albums, scrolling through the list would
give a good idea straight away of what went on, and if you had missed one or two.

Ps,
I hope my thoughts are not stretching this theme...
Upon jAlbum starting up the monitoring 'Eye' is Grey.
But what if, when using the new 'Monitor' function, the 'Eye' changed to green
upon successfully 'uploading' the album.
The album will have been closed prior to that happening so no modifications would have taken place since then and no confusion.
As, I use both functions, Monitor and MultiMaker, and it would be useful to see that change, more for my keeping track of what albums have been uploaded than anything else.
No harm in asking though I always think
Peter

After seeing the behaviour of the latest release candidate, and having used it and MultiMaker for several bulk (or not) make and or upload operations, I hope its ok to say my thoughts.
These are just mine and I understand they may be different from others, also album size will have a big impact too I spect.
However, when the make and upload selection starts, I find the coloured text to be spot on, both in the visual sense and in that it doesn't disappear after the event, allowing decision, and I just wondered, are the upload progress windows that drop down as they complete and then disappear, necessary ?
I ask as there is one smaller upload progress indicator in the status bar that shows up very well, the combination of this and the colour changing text that remains within the MultiMaker window now makes things seem a lot less frenetic and more informative.
Its only my wondering though, and I know I may have missed something obvious..
I have to say the changes made so far with all this are really good.

Are you wondering why I expand the list of background tasks? That's to make it clear for those who use the MultiMaker that they have indeed submitted work for execution. The visual feedback is to small otherwise in my opinion. You can collapse that list at any time if you don't want it taking up screen space while you work with jAlbum. In fact, any click outside the list collapses it.

Ahh, I didn't realise that, and so it does!
I had indeed missed something, as I tend not to click at random places as a rule,
specially when things are happening.
MultiMakers main window also disappears too, something I shall just have to live with.
Its all coming along very nicely though

Just hit CTR+ALT+M to have the MulltiMaker window reappear.
In the keyboard shortcut wiki shown as:
With an upload window already open, clicking on the upload button will open another upload window so you can upload to two locations at a time.
Is the shortcut context sensitive for uploading and Multimaker or has there been a change? |
