Well i wanted to start a simple thread on what features you think are missing or features that perhaps don't exist yet in apex that could be done (make sure that you know what you are talking about when you make such a feat so it becomes due able).

this thread is meant for Crise in the end so he has a sense of what the users want.

Ive taken the liberty to discuss an expansion in the plugin system so that it can include a new version of the winamp bar cause i know this feature was loved by users also a new idea that im not going to go into yet but i hope that Crise can pull it off cause i think apex users would love it

So please make a suggestion or a request in this thread and make sure that there is a good statement to why it should be included.

Heads up, GUI manipulation has been enabled in plugins for the next version... (or kind of it has been all along, just fixed few crashes with it, CBT hook FTW

).

Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated though, so keep them coming.

Don't use TLS as default (for example when connecting to StrgDC++ 2.21), since then you cannot connect to these clients. I guess you need to forward another port in your firewall when you want to use TLS.
It has been discussed in some other thread here as well.

When you have your ports set up correctly, you should encounter no problems, besides you can always disable TLS yourself if you have issues. I personally have TLS enabled and have yet to encounter any problems with it.

Yes, yes, I know. But what if you have only one TCP and one UDP port to be active? (and can only have these two forwarded). You would need another TCP port for TLS connection (if I understand correctly). Is there a "how to get active" guide dealing with this fact?
Btw. another feature request: Userlist filter works when pressing a key. Make it work on right mouse click - paste and right mouse click - delete too :crying:

I don't think criticising people's suggestions is going to get you more. :crying:

Feature request:
Make extra slot count settings in the properties of a favorite hub - these would add to the global slot count set in ApexDC settings and would be available to the users in this particular hub only.
Useful for intranet hubs :whistling:

//edit: another feature request: make the list of uploaded/downloaded files scroll just like the main chat - toggle off automatic scrolling when user scrolled up manually.

Feature request:

Auto-rename filename if a file with the same name already exists in download folder.

Ex:
I've a file named fileA.zip in my download folder. Now I want to download another file (with different TTH) which is also named fileA.zip. Currently I need to rename manually the file (using Download to... option). I would like a feature that automatically renames the file by adding a counter or something like that, i.e. "fileA.zip" would be named "fileA (1).zip".

Another feature request:

TTH filter list

I would like to hide files with certain TTH hashes from search results and filelists.

1) Some method of readily finding things added to some ones share since last I looked. I prefer a local store (or database) of filelist contents as this would be a client side change and storage penalty could be customised by user wanting the feature.
For discussion / details see http://forums.apexdc.net/index.php?s=&...ost&p=22114

2) If external drive with share content goes offline, try and reconnect next time file list is refreshed or ApexDC is restarted.
For discussion see http://forums.apexdc...?showtopic=3123

BTW, this probably should be a poll thread to give some idea of user priorities (which developer could take note or ignore on a case by case basis).

for number 2, i hope apex will have that since it is working in DC++ and other clients already.

Anyone got a major idea instead of small stuff like smiles languages etc more in terms of a challenge that Crise will get a kick off since my major idea might not get done i might as well talk about it.

My idea came from a discussion with Crise about about libs and he explained to me that there was a a torrent lib that basically was something simple my initial idea was to make a plugin based on that lib and have dl and uploads hooked in to the dc dl and upload windows along so the client had torrent support :thumbsup:

imho a fun project that ppl actually could use all in one project not sure if everyone would a agree with me but thats the beauty of it its a plugin if ppl don't like don't use it :blink:
