Hello mailing list recipients,
I'm currently in the progress of developing a GUI protocol library and GUI
frontend in managed C#. The GUI will run on Windows with Windows.Forms, the
protocol library will be system independent, so it could be used to write a GUI
with Mono, using Gtk# on Linux. Development makes progress, and I think I'm
beeing able to release a first beta in about 2 weeks.
Screenshots for the pre-alpha can be found here (no source or binaries
available yet):
http://dev.graef.cc/MLDonkey/Screenshots/
The binaries and sources will be published under an OSI-approved license.
However, while digging into the code of MLDonkey for finding out about
GUI-protocol details, I had to found out that MLDonkey hasn't multiuser support
beyond letting users login with different usernames and password. There isn't
even an owner tag on the FileInfo messages.
So my feature requests would be:
1) At least provide a string field for each FileInfo message (currently OP-code
52), which contains the name of the user who added the file to the download
queue. This would at least provide some means for a GUI to hide foreign files.
2) Extend the available informations about each user.
a) Attach an email address to each user account, to which a message can be sent
after the file download completed.
b) Attach a group to each user account, which defines which actions can be
initiated by each user (downloading, options modifying, server reconning and
deleting, etc.)
c) Provide the possibility to have a different incoming directories for each
user, if the file is commited/auto-commited. This could also be accomplished by
using a placeholder string, like "/usr/<username>/mlincoming", where the file
is copyied to after commit.
3) Let the core hide all foreign files, but show all for users belonging to a
admin-group (this would also need features beeing implemented like
multiple-commiting for multiple users downloading the same file)
I'm aware several of those features were already requested, and I'm also aware
that those arent easy to implement. However, I'm not able to programm in Ocaml,
so I'm currently stuck with only beeing able to request the features, but not
beeing able to help with the development. However, having the option to manage
multiple users was the initial reason I switched away from using the eMule
embedded webserver and developing my own GUI.
Another one: I tried to register on
http://mldonkey.berlios.de/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=new_user
but did not yet receive an email. Is it supposed to be delayed? (if it is, it
would be nice to print this on the form to make people aware of this). I tried
it with two different email addresses in different domains, but both failed.
