Description

When the user clicks on the torrent, its row just blinks and nothing else happens.
The user needs to open an entire page to see extra details regarding any torrent.
The user needs to use the select mode even for handling single torrents, which ends up being inefficient.
The page that contains the torrent details takes too much screen space for the information it provides.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add the ability for the user to expand the torrent row and see extra info regarding that torrent, without having a screen that covers the entire page. I think it would me more intuitive, especially if you add the control buttons that only control that specific torrent, instead of all of them.

This removes a step from the flow, if the user wants to pause or resume a single torrent, or they just want to see specific data, because they don't have to enter the select mode in order to handle one item.

The overview information, like statistics, torrent health and torrent content can fit into the dropdown for the user to easily access.

The image below should serve as an example. I'm not asking for this particular dropdown size. You should decide it according to the needs.

I cannot check the mark that this feature is present in the default WebUI, because the design is different.
However, I can state that the ease of access is there already, as the torrent details tabs are always on the screen and they get updated as the torrent selection changes.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I realize that the torrent information page is split into tabs, and the space of the dropdown is limited.
If the dropdown itself is too complicated to be split into tabs, I suggest a settings page that allows the user to customize the dropdown with the information they deem relevant.

Complementary informations

  • Is this feature already implemented in the default WebUI?

Great idea indeed!

The only problem I see is the data we have from qBittorrent which is limited in the dashboard. Thus the separate page.

Some properties are only available with a specific endpoint which requires the torrent hash.

What we could do is "mimic" the layout of the og webui with a sticky panel on the bottom to force only one torrent at a time.

Even if you don't manage to get the extra data and put it in the dropdown, what's already present, and some control buttons alone would improve the experience.

Edit: Sorry, I closed it by mistake.
