Better clarity around convert settings about kapowarr HOT 7 CLOSED

You select the format and then click the plus button to add it to the preference list.

I agree that it's not perfect, but I couldn't come up with something better. I don't understand the solution that you're proposing. Could you elaborate?

For sure, I think you shouln't have that drop down at the bottom, just the + to add a new conversion type next to the "no convertion" block. When a user clicks the plus, the new row shows with it's own drop down for the user to select the type.

I thought about it, and what you're proposing could make it more confusing actually. Because, if I understand it correctly, there would be a + button next to the No Conversion which would toggle the next row which contains the dropdown for the format to be added. But then there needs to be a second + button next to the dropdown that you click to add the format that you've selected. So then you get two + buttons below each other and that's honestly even more confusing.

So what about this:

The 'No Conversion' row is actually a dropdown. If you change the value from 'No Conversion' to a different format, then it gets added to the list and the 'No Conversion' dropdown get's moved down one row and is set back to 'No Conversion'. How does that sound? Then we have not two, not one, but zero buttons. Just a drop down that you can select from and it automatically creates the space to add another one and so on.

Yeah that works too. Each row would need way to be removed too.

Yeah but that can be done with the bin icon to the right of each row that already exists

Sounds nice and clean to me

Turned out to be a pretty easy fix. See the video:
