Checkmarks in Inspector pane in 2.30

[ggtrans]

What's with the new checkmarks in the % progress bars in the Inspector pane?
Much prefer when the checkmark only appeared for peers sharing 100% downloaded files.
The new system with checkmarks on all peers is confusing and not attractive.

I don't see checks on non-seed peers. Are you sure all the peers you see aren't seeders (all of their selected files are downloaded)?

[ggtrans]

No they're definitely not seeders.

[ggtrans]

I will. Sadly, I just finished dl'ing several files earlier today.
As soon as I have a few torrents going I will give you a screenshot.

I don't see checkmarks on all peers, but I do see a checkmark on 0% peers. Is it supposed to be this way?

It's possible that peer has no files selected.

Indeed that's possible, but 3 seconds after I took that screenshot the bar turned green. So it seems to be connecting to seeders (0% + checkmark) and then realising they have a all the files (100% + checkmark). On the other hand, anyone between 0 and 100 appears with the correct % immediatly (and no checkmark). Anyway, it's not a problem, just an observation.

Of course, they're not showing up now. I should have screen-shotted them during the two-three days I saw them, while 2.30 was in beta and then when the full version first turned up. They were definitely there, checkmarked yellow and incomplete green progress bars.
The pop-up flags referred to these torrents as 'partially seeded'.
Will keep you posted if they turn up again.
Meanwhile, apologies for taking up your time.

[ggtrans]

UPDATE: One little red one just turned up.
Again, previously I was seeing many, and it was not helpful seeing several consecutive red, yellow and incomplete green bars checkmarked.

[ggtrans]

Thanks, x190. Understood now.

Droning on:
I was familiar with the ability to click the "Available" column.
But what doesn't make sense is that there is no more info supplied when you view progress as a percentage. No differentiation between partially seeded or not.

And here's another, more useful, screenshot where everybody is partially seeding but they're all (but one) stuck at the same point of download.
There is only one file in this torrent. It's not like there are several files where downloaders are choosing to share only part of a folder of files.
So what's the point of adding a checkmark?

[ggtrans]

Later that day:

Guess what? After restarting Transmission a few hours after taking the previous screenshot, here's the same file – and suddenly the checkmarks have disappeared.

What gives?

I have the same issue. Here is an example from a torrent with a single file.

As you can see, some leechers have the check, some don't. I don't seed to the ones that have the check. When I hover over the ones with the check it says at the bottom of the hover box: "Peer wants you to upload, but you do not want to (interested and choked)."

What is strange though it doesn't happen to all torrents. Here is a screenshot from another single file torrent:

As you can see, no checks for leechers.

This did not happen with 2.22 and it does "reset" itself if I restart the application, until it does it again.

Can you open a ticket on trac for this?
