Add 2 buttons in the main barre
Hi everybody
i don't know if this feature have already been sugest
i know there is a command for automatic refresh but , i would like to clic on buttons for refresh my share instead of type /refresh
(i know some people used to command line doesn't see any interest in this but me and some basic users ,who are born on windows will see )
Another Button for the away and may be different type of away status just like MSN for exemple
i know i look like a friend of bill gates (MSN , Windows , Button every where ) but i'm not ^^

I'm agree...for that reason I believe that /away command is more associated to chat windows and it's not necessary to create an away button, but IMHO /refresh command would be comfortable to have it in the main bar button, although it's not SO necessary either.Twink wrote:since dc isn't just made for leeching alot of people sit and chat too. I find it more effort to take one hand off the keyboard and move it to the mouse to click a button then to type a simple command like /refresh or /away

That's right. Newbies never read the readme.txt which contains /away and /refresh commands. They only press Install and next, next, next, OK buttons...They are nobody without buttons For that reason, they need themMarvin wrote:A refresh button will at least be usefull to teach refreshing to newbies (most of them seem to have a hole where their brain should store the /refresh command ).

Maybe that just means the installer should be updated to auto-open the readme.txt. That is, if the Nullsoft Installer has such an option.Kenneth-Chile wrote: That's right.

that won't work either..
most people will just close it immediately.
no.. what you need is an at-first-run question. "what's the first word in the second sentence about share refreshing in the readme.txt?"-style list of questions before you can run the app :D

good ideas - in my opinion
I think that refresh and away buttons/menu choises would be fine (I am still using the "Peace Edition" so I don't know if something has changed recently). Especially the /away message should be stored somewhere in the options. I at least find the current auto-message a bit too offensive for my tastes (I like to be friendly to people - If they bother to PM me). Having to write /copy-paste the /away message every time can be a bit annoying. Of course maybe DC++ has some of these functions. I have only read the FAQ/readme and looked at the written commands and buttons.

0.232? Ouch. But it also means that you have overlooed this existing feature in your version:Argonne wrote:I think that refresh and away buttons/menu choices would be fine (I am still using the "Peace Edition" so I don't know if something has changed recently).

Code: Select all
-- 0.23 2003-01-30 --
* Added ability to set default away message (hm...perhaps this should use the last message set?)
You should update, at least, to 0.233, fixes a crash-hang bug people were seeing on close on a variety of OSes. Well, actually you should try the latest version, whatever it is, even if, by chance, you do need to revert to avoid a bug in the newest version.
