"(4 on this machine)" sits in whatever the two spinners leave of a fixed 400px
pane. That fit on one machine and ellipsed to "(4 on this machi..." on another,
which left the hint existing only in the tooltip on exactly the machines it was
written for.
Now "(4 at a time)": six characters shorter, and short enough to fit that column
with room over rather than by a hair. Why the number is smaller than the setting
is what the tooltip is for; the number itself is what has to be legible. Classic
reads the same string into its tooltip, so both UIs move together.
Layout geometry is untouched on purpose - the spinner widths and the row structure
are the part that was reported as clean.
Taking the alternative offered in review. The spinner's maximum is the flat
hard limit now, the same number in both UIs and on every machine, and
machine capability is applied only at the point of use.
Bounding the control by capability made it lie in two directions at once.
Below the stored value, a two-way spinner coerces its display down to its
maximum and writes that back, so opening the panel on a smaller machine
overwrote an 8 chosen on a larger one. Raising the bound to meet the stored
value fixed that but left a stored 8 displaying 8 on a two-core box that
will only ever run 2. The two UIs had also drifted apart: Avalonia bound
Maximum and ratcheted down, WinForms set it once in the constructor, so
within a session you could lower and re-raise in one and not the other.
What is left is the gap between what the setting says and what runs, and
that is now stated rather than hidden. Chardonnay shows "(2 on this
machine)" beside the spinner, in the spare column the settings row already
had. Classic's settings table is full at three columns with no width to
spare, so it says the same thing in the control's tooltip.
Stacking the two spinners inside the middle column only made Clear Finished fit
by collapsing the star column that Cancel All lived in, so the button rendered as
"Ca". The pane is a fixed 400px and four groups do not fit on one line.
The spinners now take a full-width row and the buttons sit under them, both in
Auto columns, so neither can be squeezed by whatever is beside it. Auto-scroll
moves down beside Cancel All, which leaves real slack on both rows rather than
the few pixels the previous version was relying on.
Needs eyes at 400px before this is pushed.
The settings row was a single line of four groups: Cancel All, the
auto-scroll and concurrency controls, the speed limit, and Clear
Finished. Adding the concurrency control pushed the total past what the
queue panel is usually given, and Clear Finished - last in the row -
was the one that ran off the edge. Narrowing the spinners bought some
room back but not enough to be worth relying on.
The two settings now stack, the way the WinForms panel does, with their
labels right-aligned in a shared column so they line up. That roughly
halves the horizontal space they need. The row grows from 40 to 72 to
hold both lines, and the two buttons stretch to the new height.
WinForms positioned every control in the panel absolutely, mixing
left-anchored and right-anchored ones. At the design width it looked
fine; narrower than that, Clear Finished slid left over the "At once"
spinner - and the DL Limit label had always slid onto Cancel All the
same way, long before this branch. The two rows also never lined up
with each other, because the labels and the spinners each started at
different offsets.
Cancel All and Clear Finished now dock to the panel edges and the
settings sit in a two-row table between them: labels right-aligned in a
fixed column, controls left-aligned in the next, so "At once" and
"DL Limit" line up and stay lined up. Nothing can overlap, because
nothing is placed by hand any more.
Avalonia's row gained a fourth column for the same setting, which left
less room before the star column collapses and Clear Finished clips.
The spinner asked for 90px to show a number between 1 and 10; 72 is
enough and gives most of that width back.
Chardonnay had parallel downloads with no way to configure them, since
the queue logic lives in shared UI code but each UI supplies its own
controls. Adds the Auto-scroll toggle and the 'At once' spinner to
Chardonnay's queue panel, bound to the same view model properties the
WinForms panel uses.
Also uses Environment.ProcessorCount as the spinner's ceiling rather
than its default: min(ProcessorCount, 10). Downloading is bound by
Audible's license throttling rather than local CPU, so core count says
nothing about how many concurrent downloads will succeed - it only
bounds how many decrypts can usefully run at once. The default stays 3.
Spinner bounds are bound rather than hardcoded, so the two UIs cannot
drift apart.
