Suggestion (notify about skipped manual CAPTCHA)

Post by metalpower »

to the programme: thanks you for this really great product!

a little suggestion.... can put a "last checked" field on grid? it allows to see when was last time checked sucefull some track number, it can be great in case of services that need captcha (example: chinapost) and allows to see when was las time that manually requested news....

thanks again! greetings from buenos aires, argentina.

metalpower, Hi! Tracking numbers, as usual, are checking on several services. If new option "skip services with CAPTCHA..." is checked or some of those services are finalized, time of last update will be unequal... So... What time needs to be showed in this new field?

good point, I usually check on two services ( I suppose is usual, external country and own country...)
well.. it make difficult to show it on actual fields that can be more than 1 service for 1 same track.

I see that actually the red flag is a good indicator of when was last updated, because only becomes yellow/green at certain time.. but maybe a tooltip saying time to check again or something else can help to get "more information" about actual status.

Note also that red flag not says if I really put captcha or cancelled or timeout it... I can't know if I checked status or not checked and not put captcha (I loose the oportunity to put captcha until red flag change again to allows me to call "check" manually again)

maybe that a new flag color indicates when red flag is "checked sucefull" or "checked uncucefull" and that give more feedback

metalpower, my english is not so good too) so don't worry.
app can highlight tracks with critical errors on last update.
Just turn on option: Tree-Element Colors-Make Track Red when one service failed.
And you'll get red tracks if you skip manual captcha input on update...
And on the log page of the Track properties window you will see "CaptchaError" state of last update...

Maybe it will help in this situation?
