5 Small, useful improvements to user experience
« on: January 04, 2007, 07:54:34 AM »
1) Remember last Search parameters like type of search, type of file, etc.
2) Add "last seen complete" column to search view.
3) implement more icons in search view (with an option to turn them off, for purists).
4) Add "Download date" column to Shared Files view.
5) block "Zambor" and similar private message spam.

I agree with this one, and I would also like it. It should not be too hard to implement...but I have no real idea.

I think this cannot be done, since AFAIK, the servers do not report the last time they have seen a file complete. Servers know such info (Remember Razorback 2's statistics on files?) but I'm not sure if a client can get it with the current protocol specification. Same problem for KAD searches.

What would be the purpose of this? being a bit more like eMule?  ?(

This would also be cool. The info is there, in the .part.met files, it should be just a matter of getting that into the information table.

This can be done with the current filter of messages, it has been implemented since long time ago.

I like an idea, but dunno how to extract type association from gnome/kde.

And what if you never downloaded this file, but brought it into shared folder by other means?

The file has creation/modification attributes. Last time modified must be the last time a part was downloaded and the date you put that file on the shared folder.

If it's a partially downloaded file you can see that the file isn't modified since X time ago. When you are trying to download a rare file this can help to see if there is a chance to complete it or hasn't downloaded a byte in days/week.
