middle mouse button action in preferences
« on: September 15, 2009, 08:45:27 PM »
For now - it's only "file details" and only in "downloads".

Why not to let the user choose which action he wants to perform with middle-button. I'd rather pause/resume with it for instance. I even read comments more often than see file's hash or ICH info.

And why not to do something useful with it in other windows? In "search" it would be nice to bind "copy to clipboard" to it (since rGUI often breaks, fast link handler is often the only way to DL some files), in "shares" - editing comments (by the way when this will work in rGUI?), in "messages"... well... one need to ask someone who uses this. if there is.

It's a good thing amule is using middle button, but why not make it even better?

What breaks? In SVN?

Is anybody still editing (or reading) comments at all? I find it hard to drag myself to fix a feature in rgui that I find useless in general. Anyway, there are a bunch of more important things in rgui to be implemented before that.

And I believe with the invention of the scroll wheel the middle button has kind of grown out of fashion.

I think that would become a big bloat in options.

For me, it's not such as usefull to implement another option in preferences!

scroll wheel is cool, but you can still press it, so middle-button is as large as life!

comments - yes, i'm reading them. and i will write them as soon as rGUI could do this. but i also think that it isn't that important.

about bug in rGUI - it's easy workarounding, but ok, i'll start a thread.
