Badge Dock icon with shortest remaining time

[m2habert]

Simple candy stuff, but kind of useful for day to day purposes. I usually don't have more that 4 downloads active at the same time, and I'm usually anxious to get the "almost done" one. So, if I could have that "remaining time" info on the dock, of the "soonest" to be downloaded package... would be great.

Any one feels the same?

Yup, +1!

Feels a little too "fringe" and abstract --- I mean, how many people would need to know that exact piece of information? How useful would it be?

How useful could it be to most people, if they had no idea what file it was referring to? And what if the torrent with the shortest remaining time had "5 days, 12 hours, and 33 minutes" remaining? How would that be represented? Clearly it could be abbreviated, or abstracted (fuzzy time) --- but still --- I don't see how it could be clearly stated in a dock icon badge.

No offense meant -- I'm just giving my two cents -- take it or leave it.

It could say 5.5 or 5+ or ~6 days, perhaps.

Feels like most of the times that I open the Transmission window I want to know how long until the next download is finished, regardless of which one it is. With this change, I'd only have to open it if I cared especially about one of them. Besides, chances are I can see which one is the fastest pretty much from the get-go, and so I know the ETA on the dock is for that one...

i also agree! this is a feature that i have desperately wanted added with each new release that comes out. it seems like it would be a simple option to add (in preferences, it would be great to be able to choose between DL/UL speed, time remaining until shortest download finishes, and maybe even percent completion for shortest download)

there are many times when i'm planning on watching a few shows in a row, and it would be so useful to just keep an eye on the dock to see how many episodes i can squeeze in before my new download finishes
