auto dl small files first

Hello,

I am using watch/auto feature and a filder to download certain files automiatically. This works great.

However, once all these files are in the pending area, is there a way to tell NP to download all files that are, say, less than 1,000 lines first? Or all files ending in .par2? Or some such thing? As it is now the only similar function I see is the "que tasks by date".

thanks,
Michael

I don't know if this would work, as I've not tried it, but what if you were to make watch filters for each sub-group of files you want to automatically download (<1000 lines, .par2, etc.), and adjust the priority for each accordingly in the Watch property page.

Now, I'm assuming that "Priority" here means the order in which items will be watched/saved, and not the order in which filters will be applied, which is usually top to bottom.

Or maybe not.
