Check what you already have (filelist)

First time here,so i hope i dont make a fool out of my self

How about a feature that check you'r own filelist against others..so if you download a filelist from a user,it compares against you'r own share to see if you have what the user have..sÃƒÂ¥ folders that you already have in you'r share would end with a -have tag or something...tought also about doing so with all files...but that would probally cost alot of power

this might not be the features you would have in mind for this forum ...but please think about it for a while.

Ps: Sorry if did something wrong

btw you could put it in the filelist window like Match queue - Match share - find - next

I believe a feature where the file-hashes in your share are compared to downloaded filelist/searchresults, with some kind of block so you don't download things again, is planned. Not high priority however.

It's in the old feature tracker: here
Nobody has put it into the new tracker yet.I believe you need 5 votes to confirm a feature/bug, so the popular stuff will rise to the top.

True, you can save queries though, so maybe there should be an "existing feature request" one. I don't know that there's a good way to prevent most people from entering duplicates.
