auto shared folders
« on: February 10, 2008, 06:37:51 PM »

There is very similar wish-report:
http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=1051.0

but when replying I got warning.

So my wish here: currently all folders can be shared manually and there is no other way. The only automatic aspect is that you can select dir and subdirs as well.

However this could be useful -- to select specific dir as autoshared -- this means, that if I add any subdir, any file to such directory it will be shared as well.

NOTE -- no global option for amule to autoshare data, just at the directory level. By default all directories would be autoshared=OFF but if user would like to get some directory autoshared=ON, welcome :-)

This would be extremely useful for me to mix amule and torrent data automatically.

By default, the incoming folder is always sahred, and the folders where you move the completed files using categories are also shared. That might help you.

100% misunderstanding :-).

Imagine you have A folder, it is shared. What will happen (currently) if you just copy subdirectories to A -- B, C, D . Will they be shared? No. Because currently directory is shared only if user says so explicitly.

This wish is about new feature -- autoshare (or more exactly auto-recursive-share). If A would be in such mode, even if you add directories to it, amule automatically add them as shared too.

Since there is no such feature with each directory added you have to manually share it (if you like, of course).

PS. So it is not a problem for flat directory structure, but with nested directories. Currently there is no workaround for that --> you add directory, there is no chance it will be automatically shared.

This is already something that's planned. Look for a post 2.2 release. ;)

Oh yep. I misunderstood you. That would be good, indeed. However I sometimes uncompress the rar files I download to a folder in the incoming itself, so with this feature I would have to change that behavior.

Obviously recursive sharing should be optional for a given directory. ;)

Yes, this is the idea -- you could have 10 not shared at all directories, 10 shared, and 10 auto-recursive-shared. Your choice which ones and how many of them.
