Share Source Profile For Each Hub

Timzone8 · Post by **Timzone8** » 2004-05-02 08:50

I'd like to see DC++ with the ability to give the user the option to create Share Source Profiles that contain links like the current share option, but with multiple profiles so that one can be allocated to a certain Genre Hub.
For Example:
C:\Anime - "Anime" --> Anime-Hub [Share:Anime]
C:\Music - "Music" --> Music-Hub [Share:Music]
C:\Movies - "Movies" --> Movies-Hub [Share:Movies]
et cetera.
Profiles should be able to created via a standard text box and "create" button. Then the profile should be selectable via a drop-down menu where the first area below it has the standard share-function and the area below that should show Favourite hubs in the allocated profile, and so that the favourites has a button "Add Share Profile".
It's just a suggestion, I think a fair few people would agree that it's a good feature.
/edit - A "Default" share profile would be needed to automatically assign itself to a hub just opened that isn't in favourites.. //

They seem to have been contemplating over the whole theory. Here's a visual of what I want:

did you just read the fact that someone else thought of this, or did you read on to find out that this isn't exactly possible with the current protocol so isn't going to be added (although with the whole ADC protocol being designed....)

No, I don't see how it can't be done. If it's possible to run multiple variants of DC at one time then why not make it possible for multiple users/share-profiles in DC++?

Sounds great! When can we expect the patch?

Those who work with the DC++ code say that there are too many things in the DC++ code to change and too many protocol limitations to do this in a good way at the moment. But then again you'd know that if you'd looked around a little, so you've probably already got it figured out in some other way?

I'll get around to the patch right after my downloads finish on Kazaa.

It can be done is passive mode perfectly within the current DC protocol.
It can be done in active mode perfectly if, and only if, you allocate one TCP listening port/share.
