ed2k link handler doesn't handle too long links
« on: August 04, 2009, 11:35:59 AM »
remote gui 2.2.5
Don't know if this is true for monolithic.

If ed2k-link is longer than screen width it would be splitted in two lines, and thus would be useless - "commit" button wouldn't actually commit it.

True for monolithic too, and fixed in SVN. However, on GTK long links become unreadable because a scrollbar appears and covers them. They still work though.

Didn't we have this conversation a long time ago, stu? Please revert and find a difefrent fix, even one that fixed wxWidgets, which is where the bug is.

Please don't tell me that we had that conversation,
cause I won't remember, save your breath, cause what's the use?  ;D

Can't revert - someone has locked the file.  :P

As of now we could choose between:
a) visible and broken
b) invisible and functional (but why would you want to look at a link you pasted anyway?)
c) visible and broken, then try to glue the broken links back together.

I've made a patch for wx for an option to disable the scrollbar and filed a change request. Let's see what they say.

IF anything I'd go for c).

If you were able to commit a locked file, wouldn't you be able to revert as well?

The change 8872 was in the muuli and that can't be merged. So I see no point in reverting it now. But I can do it of course if you want.

Very well then. Long links can't be pasted on non-MSW platforms anymore as of 9753.  ::)

Stu, please, define "long" in the above sentence.

Thanks!

"Long" == "so long that the text will be wrapped in the control". Depends on your window size and the font size of your platform. Plain ED2K links usually have no problem (except with ridiculously long names). Links with more information (like additional SHA or magnet) may break of course.
It's just like in 2.2.5 again.
