When this is used in windows 7 it gives you the option to expand/shrink the gadget. if you attempt this the gadget freezes.

Might have asked before, but any new plans with the upcoming API? http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/api
i'm thinking about combining the history and queue to one list, (so you can see extracting in the gadget allso and know when its realy done :D )
Update: This is allready in the new API :D so i'm gonna use it!

so ill be using the history json (thats in the new API right?)

The version of the gadget was 1.0.1.7

I'm planning a complete redesign for the gadget.
I do this becouse i started the gadget as a test on how i should work. But now its getting and bigger so i sould make it more clean. Allso i want to include a lot of features that would require a lot of hacking and ugly code to make it happan.

For now i will focus on what i want in the new version of the gadget and code a little bit on the Core (starting with the communication with the new API).

my thougts and progress will be documented in this Google Document:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dgck4qz_21wmjkfpgp

This will be live updated when i add new things so it could be a bit messy some times ;)

in the mean time i will solve bugs and maybe even add new features to the old gadget to try things out.
but after i release the new gadget i will stop working on the old one.

So new idea's are welcome right now when the sky is still the limit ;)

Absolutely brilliant Vista Gadget. Thanks very much pieteckhart

Might have been suggested already, but a scrollable download list (the amount of downloads I have goes over the list, so I can't see them all in the Gadget) would be good.

Also, the ability to adjust the SABnzbd+ speed limit as well as view the speed at which SABnzbd+ is currently going would be brilliant :)

hi,

correct me if i'm wrong but i thought i made the container of the queue so it would overflow with an scrollbar? could be wrong :P
setting the speed limit is a good idea! i will look in to it some time!

as for the current speed you can allready see this by clicking on the countdown timer. it will switch to a speed graph and a kbs indicator.

Good luck!

Very nice, I really like the clickable time that switches between the speed and the time remaining :)

Yep, you have made the items scroll in the smaller list, but when you view the larger list the items in there don't scroll:
