Description
Direct Connect a une architecture particulière qui lui donne toute sa spécificité. Les utilisateurs sont en effets connectés sur des "hubs", et s'échangent leur fichier comme s'ils étaient en réseau local.

Ces hubs, souvent soumis à des règles strictes, notamment concernant le volume minimal de données devant être partagé, sont généralement dédiés à un thème particulier ou n'accueillent que des utilisateurs parlant une certaine langue. Tout est donc fait pour que le partage soit à la fois efficace et communautaire, mais Direct Connect aura du mal à séduire le novice. A essayer.

Notez que la version 2 a introduit des fonctions jusque là rejetées par les admins de hubs DC. L'avenir de Direct Connect est donc quelque peu incertain...

Changelog

  • User definable hub lists. You can now add your own hub list sources to the program.

  • Custom operator menus. You can now define custom menus under the operator tab of the preferences. Each menu has a 'Target User' when you use the menu item, a message will be sent to that user. You get to type the contents of that message in that dialog, and then it will always be just one click away. The 'Target User' can also be ''. If you enter '' for the user name the currently selected user will receive your message. The 'Target User' field is ignored if you choose to send the message over the main chat. These menus are targeted at operators who frequently communicate with bot's. The menus can ordered into arbitrary hierarchies and each menu item can have a custom 16x16 icon. The menus are accessed by right clicking a users name in the hub, or left clicking a users name in a main chat or private message.

  • XML Queues from other clients can now be imported from an 'Import Queue' menu item in the 'Client' menu.

  • The user icons will now are shown as gray if the user is away they will have an 'A' badged over them if the user is known to be in active mode, and a 'P' if they are known to be in passive mode. For example, if they are away and active their icon will be gray and have an 'A'. If they are present, but the app doesn't know if they are active or passive their icon will have the normal color with no badge.

  • The application now supports Emoticons - smilies. They're also customizable if you're willing to edit config files. See the 'Emoticons' folder in your direct connect install folder.

  • Holding the mouse over the user name list on the queue tab will now bring up a tool tip expressing where and when the user was last seen.

  • The names of hubs are now trimmed to fit in tabs while leaving them long for the caption next to user counts.

  • There's a combo box in the advanced search section that allows you to pick a hub to limit your search to.

  • # Hyperlinks in the chat views are now clickable. They're also drawn in colored underlined text.
  • Files smaller than 128KB do not require a slot. If a user connects to you when you are maxed out' they stay connected and can keep downloading as long as files they ask for are less than 128KB. This includes your files list.

  • Password and name management on a per hub basis. You can now assign a name and password to any hub address. when the client connect to a hub that has a name or password assigned, it will use the name and password provided in the settings. Should that password ever fail, the next time you connect to that server, you will be presented with a dialog to enter a new password. This new password will then be stored for this hub address and used for subsequent connections.

  • Fixed a resource leak that kept you from deleting some files Direct Connect had used.

  • Support for XML hub lists. You'll have to enter in the URL of an XML hub list in the preferences window. XML lists compressed with bz2 are also supported.

  • Added a 'feature' so that when the application crashes, the user has the ability to optionally send some debugging information back to neo-modus.com should they wish to help.

  • The transfer menu now has a 'Queue Placement' sub-menu that allows for the movement of files within a user's queue.

  • The chat area now has a context menu to allow copy/paste/select all

  • If a user you are private messaging disconnects from the hub you knew them from, or you disconnect from that hub, you are notified in the rivate message window. If you later rejoin that hub through the same window/tab, the private message window/tab becomes active again and you are notified that the user is available.

  • The application is now much faster at queuing files.

  • Upload items are now tracked in the history view also.
  • Font is selectable along with foreground and background color in GUI preferences.

  • Added a 'Request Feature' start menu item that can be used to request new features for Direct Connect.


  • Hub list displays remembertheir column position and information individually. So, you can have the columns for an XML hub list, and your favorites list be completely different, and these settings will be saved.

  • When you sort by 'Kind' in asearch or browse dialog, the items are sub-sorted by extension. So all movies will be next to each other, but in the set of movies they will be grouped by 'avi', 'mpg', 'mpeg', 'mov' etc.

  • The Connect dialog can now be a tab or a window, just like the hub connections browse dialogs, search dialogs, and message dialogs.

  • The /help' section is now more informative.

  • Remote hub lists are now auto sorted by user count.

  • Colors in 'Advanced Search' section now change with the rest of the application.


  • Connect window's toolbar doesn't flicker when selecting new hubs from the list.

  • Auto complete is now not so zealous. It waits a fraction of a second before guessing what you plan to type.
