Contextmenu Improvements for DC++ Windows

Post by WeeDie » 2003-07-22 18:05

I have really been missing an easy way to add hubs and users to favourites and easily getting a users filelist.
Wouldn't it be a great if you could get these options when rightclicking a querywindow to a user or a window to a hub. This should be a very easy thing to do but I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated by many users. With contextmenu commands like "Add to favourites", "Get file list" and "View Details" for DC windows one could more easily navigate in the program.

Another thing I would like is to have a cueing system where you could setup files to be downloaded after another file is finished. This could be done by having a cue list and the option "Add to cue" + Add to cue-(browse to file in cue), and the ability to sort this list as like.

I agree that the context menu choices aren't consistent across windows, and that should be fixed. In main chat, and in private chat (if I recall correctly), /favorite works wonders.

cueing system


I think you mean "queueing system"

queueing system.. I've wanted this for a long time, the answer is "the nmdc way".. DC++ would download the files in the order they have in the queue window. Get rid of that stupid priority system.. it sucks!

i agree that there is a problem with the priority system, however I'm not exactly sure how the nmdc one works, download in the order theyre placed in the window?, how does this work if you can't get a slot for the first one?, does it just keep trying on that one?
