FR: Multi-select and/or Button for clearing completed downloads

[Concept211]

It would be extremely useful if we had the ability to select multiple torrents and then remove them all in one click instead of clicking on each one, one by one. It becomes very time consuming if you have many files in the UI.

Another option would be to have a button to remove all completed torrents (stopped or seeding) in order to quickly clean up your list.

Thanks!

The GUI should already support shift-clicking and performing these operations.

Removing after completion is not available yet.

I didn't realize you could shift-click. Thanks!

I've been thinking about the removal button.

Currently, the process to remove all "completed or stopped" torrents is:

1. Click the "Completed" tab, CTRL+A, click the delete button.
2. Click the "Inactive" tab, CTRL+A, click the delete button.

Looking at the future, there are many other things you may want to do with "completed or stopped" torrents instead of deleting. For example, moving these files to different (slower) storage. Generalizing these possibilities, I think the "CTRL+A+click the <<ACTION>> button" approach, which we use now, is future-proof. A dedicated button for deleting seems like too much, and something we would remove eventually.

Bearing in mind future directions, I still see the repetition in (1) and (2). Perhaps, instead of a button, it would be better to make a new filter tab for "Completed & Inactive" torrents to bring this down to a 1-step cleanup process.
