Viewing your own filelist ?

Post by MapE » 2003-04-12 09:53

Wouldn't it be nice with an feature that made it possible for you to view your own filelist making it alot easier to organize it and make a good "layout".

Just open it from the File Menu. You just need to go up out of the FileLists directory to your root DC++ dir.

Now the other part doesn't have any way of being done, assuming you want to reorder the shares and perhaps rename the directories without renaming on disk.

Thanks for the tip :)

If you are using NTFS on your drives, you can use the really neat tool Junction from Sysinternals (a place with some extremely good utilities for the Windows geek).
Junction allows you to create hardlinked files that "are" the file they link to. This can be used to manage your share.

Good luck.

Wow, cool. Hardlinks. Too bad they have no such thing for FATxx... Heck, I just wish the system would use the softlinks the way Linux does and that would be enough for most things.

Know of anything kind of like that for FATxx perchance? I've run into a thing or two that would make it VERY useful....

FATxx Just doesn't have the right kind of... err FAT to do that sort of thing *L* If there is something else out there it would be something that would let you do what you want it prob would have to replace or rehook almost everything dealing with your hardware device... and that sounds like it would be A. Very slow and ineffecient, and B. Dangerous.
