0.5 new Menu Bar icon - how to hide remaining time / download speed?

Post by dfkjsfkdsjf »

Hello guys,

nice to see the development going on around here.

however 0.5 beta brought a change that i do not welcome and i want to ask if its possible to disable it:

Image

there is this new menu bar icon, which is great and much better than the dock icon (it makes the app feel more integrated and streamlined) but what i dont like is that it always shows me the speed and the remaining time. i dont need that and dont want that to be visible, it makes me nervous and i always look at it, since its ... well, its "there"... (i like the approach "when its done - its done..."). the MAIN reason for me to get sabnzbd was because i could not see it. i fired up a download and forgot about it (set it and forget it) and then some time later i found the finished download in my folder - that was great....

so is there any way to hide that?

Hi,

To not display speed when downloading next to icon  Create a empty file named ~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/notDisplaySpeed

Also, if i may add:
It would be wonderful if this might be an option in the menu-bar-icon drop down:

"Hide Speed & Time in Menu Bar" or "Show Speed & Time in Menu Bar"
(depending on what the current state is)

It would be great if when the speed/time was disabled, the icon changed depending on whether SAB is idle or downloading jobs. Just a simple change would be nice.

Thank goodness for this thread!

Creating that file at ~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/notDisplaySpeed didn't work for me, but I did find the toggle for it under SABnbd -> Config -> Special -> osx_speed (uncheck to disable, obviously)
