Is there a reason the extension's been removed?

I almost thought the extension was broken because of the following two UI design oversights:

1. The password field should mask (replace with dots/stars/etc.) the password, not hide it. (I thought it was failing to save it)
2. The address field shouldn't silently fail just because the user typed http://localhost/ rather than http://localhost

...thankfully, I thought to use a screen magnifier on the second screenshot and noticed the lack of the trailing slash.

Extension ran with Chromium 4.0.299.0 (36335) on Snow Leopard to a Debian server running Deluge 1.2, and also ran Chrome on Linux With same result.

The current "add a new icon" approach to the "download in Deluge" links can throw off site layouts and doesn't really look very good when a site provides multiple download links. (eg. btjunkie.org)

My suggestion would be to just attach an onClick handler to detected torrent links so users can simply click the existing torrent links to download in Deluge or right-click to access the normal behaviours.

If you really want to provide a visual notification that your extension found a torrent link, why not use some CSS positioning trickery to overlay the Deluge icon on the bottom-right corner of the link. (Sort of like the emblems that you can stick on files and folders in Linux file managers like Nautilus)

If you want an example of how Nautilus overlays emblems on the top-right, there's a screenshot at http://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/9/91/Ll_nautilus_emblem.png

It'd also be nice if the extension redirected magnet links to Deluge so I didn't have to copy and paste them.

A button to allow all torrents to be paused or resumed at once. This should be addressed in the rewrite.

When you click a magnet link, the plugin will automatically add the magnet link to Deluge. However, this functionality is not present for regular torrent files. It should be added.

While at it, it would be nice to get a small feedback message whenever you add a torrent/magnet-link. At the moment whenever you click a magnet link, nothing happens. I always end up popping out the menu through the button to double check if the kink was actually added. A small non-obtrusive popup with a message "Magnet link added!" or similar would be cool.

Adding torrents from private trackers through a click on the icon does not work. I suppose it is, because the torrent is downloaded remotely and not locally on your machine. To download a private tracker torrent you usually require to login to the tracker, so the torrent will not be available to download if you are missing the required cookies.

How to fix:
Download torrents locally and send the downloaded torrent file to deluge. This way the user can log in to the tracker locally and the plugin can "ride" the users session.

Labels are an incredibly useful feature for Deluge, since they can automatically move files to different locations after downloading.

It would be nice if the Deluge in Chrome extension had basic support for Labels. I'd like to have a separate context menu entry for each label, i.e. "Add to Deluge as Movie", "Add to Deluge as Software", etc...

Aside from the lack of a convenient Remove button elaborated on in issue 5, the one thing I really miss is a convenient way to Open/Preview a completed torrent.

Assuming Google's restrictions aren't even stricter than I'd thought, the simplest solution I can think of is hyperlinking completed torrent titles to the corresponding file:// URLs.

The password is shown in clear text, instead of using the "password" input type. Here's a patch:

When I have time I would like to upgrade the extension to be compatible with the 1.3.x series.

I'd like to be able to select and move/pause/remove/etc multiple torrents.

I'm not sure how you'd select multiple torrents, maybe a tick box on each torrent or a toggle at the bottom of the list to let you select any you click.

I thought you could then change the legend to be actual buttons, without really changing the legends general look, to modify the selected torrents.

When you enable 2 or more delete options and then delete one of the torrent files it doesn't clear the timer correctly so you end up with multiple intervals refreshing. This stops you selecting any further options as they're updated before you can do anything.

Chrome is not loading the extension because images/icon/164.png isnt loading.

pretty sure in manifest.json there is a typo on line 6.
it should be : "64": "images/icons/64.png",
not: "64": "images/icons/164.png",

When you've got enough torrents to give a vertical scroll bar, the width of it causes a horizontal scroll bar to appear for about 10px...

It's more a pain than a real bug. It makes the toggle manage torrent button harder to hit as part of it is hidden by the vertical scroll bar.

Having used Deluge in Chrome for several downloads, I've realized that, aside from an Open/Preview option, the one thing I really miss about the GTK+ Deluge GUI is a quick-access Remove button. (The full WebUI's one doesn't count because it's slow to load and ExtJS makes for a laggy GUI)

My suggestion would be:

1. Add an X icon (blue-recolored copy of the Remove icon in the full web UI?) to the panel of per-torrent actions.
2. When clicked, the X icon replaces all cells to the right of the title with a single colspanned element.
3. The single colspanned element contains "[Cancel] [Remove with Data] [Remove Torrent]"
4. Clicking Cancel or closing the browser action pop-up returns the row to its original state

That'd satisfy the following requirements:

1. Confirmation before anything gets deleted.
2. No more than two clicks and no laggy waiting between them
3. Intuitive association between the pseudo-dialog and the torrent it affects
4. Appropriate behaviour on pop-up close

If you're too busy, there's a chance you'll receive a merge request from me in May once my vacation has started... but I'm not very good at keeping "...on my vacation" promises, so no guarantees.

Hey there,
I woud like to suggest a feature: If you click "Deluge in Chrome" it then links to what ever url is stored in options. So its easy to get from the extension to the web interface.

Thanks for a great extension.

A button to remove all selected torrents (providing the usual 3 options of cancel, remove with data and remove with torrent). This should be addressed in the rewrite.

Lots of good functionality in there!

The Pirate Bay has moved to only using magnet links, other sites might go that way.

However many sites have supported magnet links for a long time, so it would be useful to support them.

I suspect the easiest way would be to expand on the functionality that picks up the download links do the same to magnet links there.
