Files tab returns to page 1 of 1 and, incorrectly shows page numbers

[teddyrogers]

I have a torrent with about ~1000 files. When importing the torrent to Tribler only a few files were selected for download.

Going to the torrent and looking at the, "Files", tab the full file list is spread over multiple pages.

After the first selection of files had been downloaded I went and scrolled through a few pages in the files list and selected another file to download.

First bug...

When I next scrolled through the pages of the file listing, say to the 200th file in the list, after a second or two Tribler scrolls back to the first page. This makes it very difficult, if not impossible to select any other files in the list before Tribler returns to the first page. I make the assumption the return to page one is done when the torrent download statistics are being updated every few seconds.

Second bug...

I also noticed there are no page numbers, only page one. When you scroll through pages it always says "x - 1 of 1". Looking at the accumulation of page numbers each page is 50 files, so a torrent with 200 files for example, should have four pages. If you check the image below at file 450 in the list it still shows page 1 of 1.

Thanks for letting us know! We'll get this fixed in the next release.

Instead of a page list would it be possible to simply have a tab with all the files listed together, with files under folders in a drop down list?

I am not a big fan of the page numbers, it feels clunky to work granularly in torrents containing a large volume of files. The way qBittorrent has it presented is simple and efficient.

This should be fixed now. I've also added an option to (temporary) disable pagination by clicking the page number and selecting "disable pagination".

@egbertbouman tested this in Tribler 8.0.7 and it is working perfectly! Thank you.

You're welcome. Good to hear it's working.
