"Copy to clipboard" in context menu
It is now already possible to copy a user's nick to the clipboard, I think it's usefull to exploit this function a little more
My idea was to have in allmost all the context menu's an item "Copy to clipboard >", and under that item there should be subitems for every possible object related to the context menu
So when you rightclick on a file transfer, you could have objects copied to clipboard like: username, filename, path, status, size, etc. So every column is able to be copied.
In the download queue the copy-able objects could be: filename, path, users (and then a submenu with all the users), hub, TTH root (very usefull because it's a hell to type it over), etc
What do you think?

Well, it's not my code, so I can't contribute it. And, as far as making it too much work (or not), you need to think about the right way to do it. For example, how do you handle the "Status" column in the transferview? It updates every second, and is probably never going to be useful to someone. Some things seem like simple changes, but are not, and vice-versa.Wisp wrote:But is it gonna be in DC++ ? I don't think it should be too much work, just the same code with different values
ok things like status aren't necessary, but the other vars like filename, path, or user are useful, and because they are already listed in the particular window, it shouldn't be to much work to insert them in a menuGargoyleMT wrote:Well, it's not my code, so I can't contribute it.

bear mind with the people coding..
they too often see the "it shouldn't be to much work" quote.
if it's "not too much work" they would gladly accept a patch (a nice unified diff), if you can't provide that, you shouldn't use that phrase. it's annoying.
no offense

It may mean something different in common use, but be considerate.Wisp wrote:GargoyleMT wrote:Please don't use this phrase.
When you drop your car off at the mechanics, do you say "it shouldn't be much work to fix it" to someone whose job it it is?
If you'd like, you can take a look at the DC++ RFE tracker. I know there are 280-odd requests in there, there are surely quite a few that don't involve that many lines of code. That doesn't mean that they'll all be coded tomorrow.
Just something to keep in mind.
