Annoying bug displaying hub names in search...

Post by Lightning_Hunter » 2006-07-05 20:37

For some reason, only the first word of a hub name is displayed in the search window. If a hub is named "Bob's cool hub" for example, then it will only be displayed as "Bob's". This wouldn't be too bad if all hubs were named one long word, but many hubs I connect to have fancy symbols and dashes in the first word. I have 3 hubs right now that are displayed as "-". I think this bug started up in the 0.69 release. Anyone know how to fix it?

The behaviour is documented in the changelog:
-- 0.68 2006-01-08 --
* [NMDC] The first word of hub name is taken as short name for displaying purposes when space is limited

So there is no option to revert it back to the old way? I don't like having 3 hubs all named the same thing... If I only want to do searches in one hub, I can't tell which one is which.

There is a solution for hub owners here : http://dcpp.net/blog/?p=44
PM the OPs of those hubs the link of this topic.

That really doesn't help me... There are so many hubs that start with the name "Trance" or some fancy symbol. I'm not going to PM every hub owner to get them to change the names of their hubs. Even if I tried, most of them probably wouldn't even bother. This seems like it should be such a simple thing to revert; yet, there is no option to do so. :-/
