What's New in version 1.52:
- Files in all views are organized in their original folder structure, with ability to disable or adjust priority on entire folders. This option is on by default but can be toggled in the Layout menu under the Files sub-menu.
- Icons are next to files in all views. The icons correspond to the different file types, as you would see exploring files in the regular shell. This option is on by default but can be toggled in the Layout menu under the Files sub-menu.
- Separate downloading and seeding default bandwidth presets can now be selected. This can be done from the Bandwidth Presets window accessible from the system-tray menu. Whenever Tixati transitions to or from fully-seeding state the default for the new state will be activated.
- A category bar that can filter the list of transfers by state (downloading/seeding/queued/off) has been added. This bar can be activated in the layout menu, and is off by default.
- A popup window to activate/deactivate optional columns has been added to replace the old system of checkboxes in the layout submenu.
- Additional double-click option "Open Location/Folder" is now included. This will open the location folder when a single-file transfer has been clicked, and open the base folder of multi-file transfers.
- The Open-Folder option in the main context menu is now also available for single-file transfers, in which case it opens the download location.
- New Import/Export functions have been added. These are accessible from the main settings window. This function can save all transfers, RSS feeds, scheduler items, IP filters, and settings to a single data file that can later be imported on a new system.
- In the Settings under the Transfers > Metadata section an option has been added to delete .torrent files upon loading from a specified directory.
- The ability to batch-save .torrent files from a multiple selection of transfers has been added. If multiple transfers are selected, Tixati will prompt for a destination folder and save a .torrent file for each selected transfer under it's standard name, appending (1) to avoid conflicts with any existing .torrent files.
- An option to allow more permissive file last-modified time checking has been added in the Settings under the Tranfers > Local Files section. This option is off by default (99.99 percent of users will never need it) but is necessary to work-around file-systems or file-servers that may delay updating the last-modified time after files have been closed.
- Several other minor improvements and bugfixes have been made.
