Been thinking of miranda-im plugin for DC chatting, but have no time to try by now .

Click on checkbox on the left bottom of the window

Haven't answered on this one. I just cannot understand why create so many clones with very little feature differences, if we can make a good, reliable and extensible program! Dozens of positive results in other projects. DC is somehow special in this way...

I can make a screenshot of any part for you, if you wish to compare Desktop - "Рабочий стол" here As a mere mortal, haven't heard or seen anything about them KGB is now FSB though Товарищ, знай - пройдет она, И демократия и гласность, И вот тогда госбезопасность Припомнит наши имена (с) I'm rather socialist than democrat though, but this is another story Trocki AFAIK jewish, not sure about Lenin. Some of his relatives were jewish, but there also were russian or even kalmyk, AFAIK, as I haven't read much about him.

Not only suggest, I also like to help others, report bug even helping to fix them, contributing code. Unfortunelly I'm not very experienced in C++ program for providing fixes here, I have much more experience in x86 assembler and php programming (strange combination, isn't it?). I also have a couple of IPB mods on invisionize.com, but I have another nick there :)

Heh, I've just noticed that BM is very stubborn in some cases, thats why I'm not asking him for anything, because beating head against the wall is not my favorite task ;)

Last was pointed to BM ;)

fulDC seems to have web shortcuts manager. I think this can be expanded to any shortcuts.

How about making of a new shortcut - /bandwidth or something like that, which would show how many up and down slots are taken, how many users in upload queue and, possibly, current upload and download speeds? For example ** amp bandwidth: 3 download slots, 10 upload slots, 40 users in upload queue, 60K/100K (up/down). I was also thinking of shortcut manager, where you can create and share with others your shortcuts. You may add some macroses for values (like with /w) and people will be able to add freeform messages.

I've posted about this sometime ago. http://forums.apexdc.net/index.php?showtopic=630 This also include favorite.xml wipe in some cases...

Argh, my english is still much imperfect . I meant "They have open svn and public betas, and you have none of this". I'm not asking you to open your svn for public as soon as possible, just wondering why won't you do this. Prefer getting more instead I got that you and other coders doesn't have much free time. But I do. Why we haven't so many forks of miranda-im, jimm, filezilla and other popular opensource software. I'd better write a plugin or contribute code or, at least, send a detailed bug report to authors, rather than creating of new software. So, I've sent bug reports to miranda-im forums, I've made contrubitions to jimm project, but in case of DC I'm feeling that creating of a new client is not so bad idea... And I find this wrong. I would recommend you read it in any case, because it is interesting and helps in easy-to-use UI design. I've read a some articles and a book, which took about 1 day of reading, but i'm not sorry for the lost time Excuse me for my bad english, sometimes I cannot line up proper intonation or turn of speech, so my posts might be rude. Furthermore, you're developing another client and I'm not asking you to open your cvs or public more betas. So you may sleep easily. OS = OpenSource in this case .

As far as I remember, If a source is removed, this number should also decrease...

Open svn and public betas . So, as many OS projects do. A drop in the ocean... I meant, that univ is cool, yes, but not so big argument to me. Furthermore, Lee is a coordinator, not coder, isn't he? As for me, I found it strange, that creating a mod of a mod is more popular than contributing and getting envolved... Something's wrong here at that point... There you can read WHY people do not read such posts and HOW to make them read! Unfortunelly, can't recommend you any title, because I doesn't know where proper name in english. I'm not saying "MUST", but "COULD YOU PLEASE?". And I know your point of view from your forums. I haven't registered there, but I read a couple of topics.

But community is dead without any updates. We here just waiting and talking and debate... I still can't figure if previous debates have any results though. Also as my feature requests or bug reports Envolve more developers! Hehe, i'm on the last year in my univ "Best days of your life" as it said here It's all about usability and ergonomics. Read about them, it helps in UI designs much. I've put an example couple of post above this thread Imagine, vanilla DC++ has such delays between releases and won't show you any sources or betas :)

The pic is not showing, at least for me. Try another picture host, like imageshack.us or so.

Hm, it doesn't have cvs because it's closed-source. But I saw lots of builds which are not official Beta nor RC ones. So, it's almost like nightly builds . I haven't checked, but some say, they allows everyone to join betatesting for free. Because of similarity of the situation . I've tryed a lot of SDC mods. And everytime conclusion was - it's the same SDC but with some lil' cosmetic change - another logo and icon set, one lil crappy new function - and thats all. I've stopped on your mod just because I hope you (dev-team) are not so stubborn for new ideas as BM in some cases. And I wish to see not a bit modded version of SDC, but a cool new client . Sounds like i'm a secret agent, willing to know your country's biggest secret . Maybe you'll at least post a changelog or so and make more public previews? Say, one per two weeks? You have a version number in window title. Put a disclaimer in support forum, that versions above #LAST_OFFICAL# are betas and unsupported.

Argh, you knew that! English translation in most cases have shorter words and phrases, so in some apps UI become distorted. But still, many people here asks for native language in the app. One of the most common question of the newbies in our hub (most people uses SDC) is "where can i get a russian translation of sdc?". So it much nicer if the app has is in native language out of box. --OFF Funny thing about word's length. Some researchers found, that in battles between americans and japanese, americans were more efficient and responsive. Thats because average english command's length is about 5 letters, but japanese is 10 letters. Russian average command's length is about 7 letters, but in real situation commanders switchs to swearing and average length become 3 letters! For example: "Рядовой Иванов, развернуть орудие влево и произвести залп по танку противника" vs "Вася, х@ярь по танку слева!" -- OFF KGB guys? Nope, haven't seen them ;)

Хм... Может я проще ответить попытаюсь?) Это ты про тултип при наведении на юзера или какие колонки отображаются? Если про колонки - правой кнопкой на заголовок, а там в менюшке снимаешь галки у чего не надо... И в Апексе и в Стронге есть /stats, но видно только тебе и только в Апексе есть /pubstats - видно будет всем. А как оно работает не объяснишь поподробнее? Дело в том, чтобы инвертировать значение, нужна какая-то верхняя планка, относительно чего инвертировать, а вот сейчас она никаким образом не задается... Или ты имеешь ввиду просто включить и выключить его? Кстати, тут на форуме советовали cfosspeed (http://cfos.de) - попробовал, реально помогает, правда я не так уж много играю...

I mean that program is a freeware, only thing you can expect is donation. Mods won't take your bread, so why bother about them? I meant that making a mod of opensource program you are forced to make it opensource too. This means, that you may check source-code of any mod and take good idea to your project. Hey, cvs is just a source code. If a user can compile it, he would also be able to handle it. Many projects offers even nightly builds, for those who are on the edge of developing process. They put a disclaimer about stability and also have a place to report bugs from new builds. Large community with lots of testers might help in improving of functionality and stability. Why do you think betas of new Vista are so prevalent?

I'm trying to discuss whole Apex development As it doesn't paid, why bother? And as they forced to be opensource too, you may get good ideas from them too!

Ok, here's one example. http://www.jimm.org/ My favourite mobile icq-client. Development team seems to be even smaller than yours. But the project has public cvs access and frequent cvs builds (betas). So, community can see how its going, test new builds much. Some people (like me ) can also download latest cvs code and try to build it. So, where we can discuss the latest client features, make new feature requests or even contribute usefull code! And what we have here? Lots of discussion threads, unanswered feature requests and bug reports. We have to wait months to see if something is changed during last release :-/

Forcing people who are too curious to pay for betas (become subscribers)? Or to knock down concurents ("opensource concurents" sounds... hm... ridiculous?) by disallowing them to use your latest code? I can imagine a couple of other reasons...

I wonder why other products, even more popular, have publicly available cvs access. Why we have here a top secret-o development, I can't understand... Same with whole Apex though...

Just edit source and recompile :)
