Remove Offline Source?

Post by Timzone8 » 2004-08-07 21:51

Could a "Remove Offline Sources" function be added to the context menu for objects in Queue? As users will quite often change their username. Perhaps a routine to check and IP Zone against a nickname could be made but a remove "Remove Offline Sources" would be preferable.

How does it negatively affect your usage by leaving them in there? Since the user is not online, DC++ doesn't try to connect to them, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

Not sure how this would help anything.

Second suggestion was for sources to store IPs and check that IP against other nicknames in the hub and then add the source. (setting aside multiple clients in one hub ethics) This method would restore an offline source "if" that user changed their nickname.
