Searching Bug/Feature

Post by citruz_ » 2003-08-14 13:02

Hiya..

a while ago there was a "bug" that showed files from your own filelist when searching in HUBs, then the feature was removed as considered a bug propably...

now I would vote for it be be added as a "optional" feature, just add a chekcbox, "search your own filelists".

as this is very usefull when u got few 100 gigabytes... saved me alot of downloads finding out that I had the "thing" already... also its much faster then scanning your harddisk locally in Windows.. :)

Believe it or not, this is the third feature request in three weeks which serves the purpose of preventing the user from downloading a file they already have.

Now, I'm not sure how this one will be taken, but the responses in the past were:
"Lay off of DC for a while, and get to know your files."
"Such a feature would not be useful for a true collector."
etc.

Good Luck.
Hehe.

Nothing prevents you from opening up your own file list and searching for files individually on it. And a Windows Find File... explorer window can similarly work wonders!
