#10 Add "Close and Remove" option

[Edward Sheldrake]

This patch adds a "Close and Remove" option for a running transfer.

So far it has been implemented the simplest way, without using any multi threading, but I think it may require re-writing to use threads to avoid blocking the GUI while waiting for the transfer to close.

I don't understand what the patch is supposed to do. Is this just a way to make cleaning out a running transfer a one-click step as opposed to first stopping it and then removing it from the queue? Or does it physically remove the partially downloaded file(s) from the HD after stopping the transfer?

It's just to make cleaning out a running transfer a one-click step. It doesn't delete any file parts from the disk.

I seem to remember someone requesting this on the old forums, but now that I'm testing it, it doesn't seem particularly necessary. And it needs greying out for downloads that are finished.

Hello guys!
I just want to clarify the situation with this patch: is it working or no for valknut 0.4.8 and older?
Now situation is terrible:If I want to remove transfer which is using many threads I have to stop all downloading threads with this transfer, and after this - remove them from queue (because for active downloads menu item "Remove from Queue" is inactive).
Thanks in advance!

It is very necessary.
Very annoying inability to stop the downloading of files by one click, especially when they sway in the> 20 streams ...

Sorry, this never got anywhere 2 years ago, it needs re-doing differently, probably most of it should be done in dclib for a start.
