owncloud
prioritize download to currently viewed file
Scenario: You have a folder full of images and you swipe through them to view. Now you have to wait for each image to download before the next one can download. You can swipe through picture 2,3,4 to view picture 5, but then you triggered download of pictures 2,3,4 and need to wait for that to finish before picture 5 will be downloaded.
Instead, download should always prioritize the currently selected file. Also if everything still needs to sync, if you specifically open one file, that should be prioritized to be updated/downloaded immediately.
This was a very cool feature. Imagine you keep a todo.txt file in sync using owncloud to have your todos on every device. If you put some large files in the sync folder from one device, it was great to have the ability to say: "Hey owncloud, whatever large files are in the syncing queue, I want to have my todo.txt with a few kB in size synced at first.
@davivel @masensio @tobiasKaminsky any updates on this one? Quite annoying when you move through images and you need to wait a bunch.
Internally there is a queue that is used to manage the downloads. We could add the current image to the top of the queue. But then the current download would still finished first. Aborting it is not a good idea imho.
