@rejetto
Thank you!
This program is quite intuitive and at a high level easy to use; there is no huge installation process and its on/off share/dont share simplicity helps make it wonderful.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of my impressions and areas of potential growth
GUI: The popout menus are huge and numerous / replace with a window with tabs
Options: many of the options are clear but those that are not had me looking through the wiki and forums for explainations and uses / clearer documentation or context explainations would be nice
Wiki: helpful, needed
Forums: helpful, easy to get lost in/engrossed with
Windows Firewall stopped me for two days before I realized what was happening
just in case anyone else didnt think that was a problem
Default template: intuitive, less than visually appealing (compared to live)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some features that may not even be possible to implement
could not upload a .exe file
thumbnail support in the default template. I know its a goal already and I know other templates can support that feature but they tend to miss other important features, like deleting files or creating folders.
Video/audio support in the browser like YouTube. (again supported in default template)
I have a crazy Idea for having a chat log where my family can just post a message for everyone else to see. a chatlog file stored in a folder, I make it sound so easy when I ask others to figure out how
User defined archive, select specific files to download as a group. Like from list view
.zip or .rar capability
Im sure im insane for mentioning it but drag and drop capability for files/folders upload? well I dream big... lol
One click scripting to upload an entire folder subfolders? Ie pictures 06-2010, or music
hmmmm a template builder.. yep that'd be cool... its apparenly time for me to stop before I ask you to recreate the world. again, thank you for your hard work, dedication and commitment.
