Re: [Pan-users] request - preference to not download duplicate

[Pedro]

just thought of another suggestion for improvement

when saving binaries , shift-s, select location

give the option to send to start of pan tasks queue. maybe also option 
for start paused.

a timer for tasks (see chron for linux) would be neat too. (I have a 
workaround for that using gnome schedule and either of these two 
commands. put gnome-schedule into startup applications (gnome 
applications, system tools , preferences, startup applications.)


kill -SIGSTOP $(pidof pan)
kill -SIGCONT $(pidof pan)


for ubuntu 14.04
