sort by column header

Hi Vity,
first of all, i would like to thank you for develop such a convenient program for handle rapidshare download. it helps my life easier then before.
i here would keep my word short and simple.
bellow is my suggestion:
1. able to perform sorting by column header like show history does instead of sort only by name. it is difficult to browse through especially having hundreds of download list queuing.
2. able to search current download list lke show history does.
3. as the forum listed before, perform captcha alert.
4. allow for backup and restore current download list so it won't clear off when program cause error. i know this can be done by hide all completed download, then select all, copy the link, then paste to a text file. sometimes, human tent to be forgot when too exciting to search trough RS list for more download. Perhaps it just another extra feature.
5. auto log on existing and each new added download item. this can be restore if program so happened to be corrupted or terminated inproperly for example like flashget does.
well, thats all I've been experiencing of using the program.
finally thanks and really appreciate your effort.

It's disabled because of performance reasons. FRD was not intended to have hundreds of links in the main queue, but users do it... You can use sort function in menu Downloads.

Implemented in 0.83 beta. Ctrl+F - for the main queue and the plugin list in user settings.

It's on the TODO list.

I made some explorations in this area, but maybe together with JDK 7...
I would like to create some new format for storing links.

FRD is using backup files and the queue is stored every XX seconds (after every change), but I like the idea with the log.
Can you upload the Flashget's log here?

hi Vity,
thanks for your reply.
sorry, i was mentioned wrongly.
flashget does not keep log, but does keep a backup of current list, which up to date items. But so happened i experienced where the backup list corrupted, nothing can be done.

the log idea i took from MSSQL or MSExchange. But MS does a complicated log where the database tie with the log, either one missing, the whole database cannot be restored.
What i am trying to say is that, it is not exactly a log, but a file to keep current queue list. once finished download, remove the item. when any new items come, write to the file, that's all.
Finally, thanks for your concern on my suggestion. having a CTRL+F is good enough. wonder your Serach apply to "match exact" or "match similar"?. anyway, i just curious about it.

The backup file is already used - created/updated after every change of the list + 10 seconds (in 0.83)
How would you implement "search similar"?

Hi Vity,
sorry for late reply.
well, "search similar" just work exactly like what you have at history search.
