pauseall/unpauseall

[ultima]

There have been many requests for this particular feature, and honestly, I can see why:

1. It's annoying to have to loop through the /gui/?list=1 output and call /gui/?action=pause&hash=[HASH] a bajillion times. Yes, it's possible to batch the call up using /gui/?action=pause&hash=[HASH1]&hash=[HASH2]&hash=..., but that's can still be a pain, especially if whatever's sending the request has a limit to the URL length.

2. If the application wishing to pause/resume all torrents wishes to implement this correctly, it'll need to keep track of which torrents were actually started before pause is called on all the torrents, so that resuming only resumes those that were started. Again, simple, but annoying.

The proposal?

/gui/?action=pauseall
/gui/?action=unpauseall

Easy enough to deduce what it's supposed to do, makes it easier on WebUI developers :P

Scratch reason 2, because at the time, it didn't occur to me that /gui/?action=unpause only unpauses paused (and not stopped) torrents. Duh (why else would it be named as it already is?).
