Some nice features

Post by sh0ckwave » 2003-04-04 04:01

1) Add a tab to sort by file type in download queue
Its faster to delete files that you dont want to download when added to the queue when downloading hole directories.

2) Search for alternatives that applies to all files in directory.

3) Can the file lists contain a hash of each file, becuase there exists same files with different filenames.

1. I agree, it should look just like in the search window, it would be a small but useful feature

2. Absolutely no, it would cause search spam - what if you have say 200 files in a single directory? 200 searches at once?

3. I don't get what you mean exactly

Hope they are clever enough not to precalculate them every time DC++ starts ; )

Yeah, no, there will be a cache. Nobody is shortsighted enough to make that a problem to solve later. I want to make a cache where the file hashes are saved even after the file are unshared, for some limited amount of time before they time out (15 days?) for people who change their shares often.

With hashes, you could also do a lot more vigorous dupe checking locally, etc.

Well, this isn't the thread to mention all of my ideas, I've done so elsewhere. :-D

for point 2 I thinked but not sayed that the search for alternative are done one file at a time; for example the dc++ search for the first file in the directory, if it gets a match or ocurrs a `predefined` timeout for the search (to solve the problem of the spam), It continues with the next. The search for alternatives is manually selected for a directory not allowing to do automatically. But if its not possible its ok.
