Hey @ernie1901,

yep, it is a non documented, kind of experimental API call;
FFAStrans API:
http://localhost:65445/api/json/v2/tickets

Webinterface API:
http://localhost:3003/tickets

Hi emcodem,

Maybe this was asked before.
Is there a way to hide the options displayed both in sections "Running" and "Finished" for specific users (job details, abort, pause, delete all etc...)?

Hey @taner,
always good to hear from you!
Very good question. Not yet but it is something that i had in mind the last months anyway and i am happy that you now ask for it.
I'll add the filters ASAP.

Hi emcodem,

short question: should all queued files listed as queued regardless whether they were submitted or picked up from a watchfolder?
At the moment only submitted files where shown as queued in my setup.

Yeaaaahhhh.... hard topic. Should: yes (in my dreams).
Kind of a legacy thing absolutely prevents us to threat api jobs, watchfolders and manual submits "the same". Internal discussion is going on about that pretty often. As this queuing stuff is pretty complex and lots of "legacy" stuff going on it could take a while until we manage to unify this into one queue/view

Thanks for explanation.
It is more understandable for me now.
To be honest: in the beginning I was not the biggest fan of the webinterface.
But as more as I deal with it and with such nice customizing-options it is a very handy tool.
I hope that your queue-dreams will come true :)
User-questions like "but are you sure that my file will be transcoded? Because I can't see anything" would become obsolet.

@taner
thanks for the nice words, it is always encouraging to hear the users stories :-)
With this encouragement i went on and tried adding what you and a few others asked. Check out the newest release and let me know if it works for you please.
Just one note, the new Status type "incoming" actually can mean 2 things:
1) a watchfolder found a new file in the folder but it waits until the file is ready for processing (but no job is yet queued)
2) the file is already ready and actually queued

Currently i cannot distinguish between those 2 states of watchfolders unfortunately.
