I really like the new look of the application, but I am really missing the ability to see the download progress window at the same time as the path window that shows the status (running/watching)

Any way we can get the dual view back ASAP?  I see an option in the VIEW menu that says "Show Column View". but it is grayed out on my machine and trying the key combo displayed for this grayed out view option doesn't do anything.

So far the new version is working great on my system, but I do miss the ability to see all the activity of the app at a glance.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

The queue drawer is gone for good, I'm afraid - it's considered very old UI now (a la OS 10.4!) and has always been quite cumbersome to use. Continuing to support it was proving more and more difficult as the OS itself has been gradually dropping support for drawers too.

Certainly, I understand where you're coming from. Obviously, since Watcher is a derivative of Yummy FTP itself, it inherits all the changes. But perhaps I can merge the two views for Watcher.

Just FYI the view menu is active while you are using the Watcher setup window to browse the local/remote folders.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the info Jason!

IF I could even just spawn a second window that showed the existing download activity window at the same time, that would work for me too.  I just like being able to see everything that is going on at a glance without having to change the window view all the time.  I often access this machine remotely, so the ability to see all the windows of the app is a big deal for me.

Cheers and keep up the great work!  :)

Good news, Rick! The next version will definitely have the ability to view both the Watcher list and Transfer list at the same time  ;D
