Crise

I admit you have many valid points, as hunting extensions isn't that much of a fun, but even though Opera provides f.ex. block content, i rather use Adblock with the updater than block everything manually (or does opera provide the posibility to import filters or sync with filters on the web) same goes for Opera's sidebar i rather use aios + quicknote to mimic the sidebar opera has (mostly because aios looks a lot nicer than operas sidebar, and provides many aditional extra enchantments too) but enough with this alredy as you said it's a matter of personal preference, and that's it edit: one thing that came to my mind is that opera lacks stuff like userChrome.css and userContent.css, and with userContent.css you can get rid of the need to have few extensions...

my prev. post was mainly about the character counter, I'll figure some nice way to make the message box better, even if i have to break the current rather nice layout that i personally like pretty much :)

try google's test page :)

ok, i too managed to do that now, but i still think FF's toolbar managment is way more user-friendly :)

Well I personally won't see such counter being of any use, to majority of the users (was about to write anyone, but cchanged my mind)

yes i can get it in the very bottom of the screen but not directly below address bar. and i'm using weekly builds of opera 9 (currently same as beta 2, but not for long)

well, at least ff's toolbars are more flexible (as i can't seem to find a way to move tab bar directly below adress bar in opera, which is one of the reasons i don't use opera) and i bet many users use FF only because the lack of customization and the extensions they are used to having with FF. And also even though correctly tweaked opera can render and load data from server faster than FF, i think FF displays some pages more nicely than opera (mainly because FF is not quite as strict with standards than opera is, even though they are close) and this results to the fact that some more poorly done pages are a tad bit more viewable with FF. (i'm not saying that being strict with standars is a bad thing, nor do i want this topic to turn into debate between upto standard and not upto standard, webrowsers/-pages, even though i too prefer doing the work i do with webpages acording to latests standards)

nice also about the donation page, you need to fix the top menu for it, and i'd personally prefer http://apexdc.net/?id=donate rather than http://apexdc.net/donate.php (can easily be done with some fairly simple php)

that msgbox can be "disabled" via command line option /q (i added it in pwdc way back)

Reporting crashes with pwdc++ atm. is pretty much useless, as currently we do not fix any pwdc bugs because we plan on re-doing everything once StrongDC++ RC11 is out which will hopefully snatch many of the current bugs (and create some new ones, most likely )

as a matter of fact it should still happen but atm. i'm too lazy to write the whole explanation myself so i'll return to this post in a minute Here comes your answer(s): Clicky Me (read the whole topic it'll answer your next questions too i think)

I don't think "character counter" is possible, as hubs may not send that info to user (haven't checked though) I diddn't quite follow the rest of your post, they (or rather it) alredy get(s) enabled when message is multiline. (side note: your arrows are actually a scrollbar)

that's not entierly true you can run multiple instances, but to do that you need manually to duplicate your setup with differernt ports & share. (as this can be partly automated)

I was only thinking it as a feature request for ApexDC++ (mostly, at least) as after all you posted it as a feature request. And what do you mean with: "turned opinionated responses" if we would not post what we think of the featutres, there'd be hardly no discussion at all...

Time for me to comment in here This feature would never work well with DC as the possibility of finding the exactly same file on ftp server and DC is very unlikely unless someone put up a http/ftp mirror specially for this purpose (and this would be a special case) or if you download only from a strict original releases only (sharing of 100% original releasegroup releases) hub, which are then again usually private or semi-private (but still a reg-only) hubs... And then there would still exist the problem of finding the http/ftp server containing original releases, because many servers with decent ammount of files go down pretty quickly... (though as some of you may know there exist many reliable servers too, but this is not the right place for discussing about them) As a side note: free file hosting services wouldn't work with this either Conclusion: in my opinion this feature doesn't get used enough for it to be worth adding, but if someone is willing to spare the time in doing a patch for this (assuming the code is somewhat clean and commented) I am happy to check the code out and perhaps add it in, if there is enough demmand (though for now there seems not to be much of a demmand)

Name/nick(s): Crise, Xaeon, Xaver, there is two more nicks but those are not to be mentioned in public forums Gender: male Age: 16 (january 5th, 1990) Country: Finland Hobby's: Programming, DC, reading, swimming, fishing, Elite w*rez (not a hobby really), messing with computers, and web programming also... Funniest thing what happened on DC: there are so many great things that have happened to me on DC, so i can't decide. This all in a nutshell: I was one of those that had way too much free time in their hands, but i don't have that problem any more :lol:

the ftp link is only for latest trunk builds (read; builds that are continuosly developed not tied to any specific version, branch builds then again are builds towards certain version ie. 1.5.0.4) also that so called alpha for 3.0 is just some random nightly trunk build (Minefield == trunk build)

That can be put as right-click option via user commands, if that's what you want... (though i'm not too sure that this is what you would want)

by any chance, could you write down your reguests in plain text, it'd make them much easier to understand...

Quoting myself as a reply:

you don't by any change mean revconnect or DCStealthy, if so we were planning to port it over but soon figured it was way too much work :)

that works fine for most true, but any extension/theme related extensions (or extensions that provide alternate way of access to themes/extensions) will most likely have problems.

expect, that some extensions refuse to work (not sure if the new addons manager is enabled in this build though, as i use burning edge builds aka nightlies)
