Slight problem when sharing folder full of .MP3s - the 1,100 character limit is way too low. What can be done about it?

I mentioned this in an earlier post. I suggested sending the file list in a text file to the other person. Adds in an extra step as they have to open it in notepad, but thats hardly a big deal. I got this idea from an earlier plugin by itior.

The other way I suppose is to break the message down into chunks, making sure a file name is not cut in half. I think this would be much harder to do correctly and also it might be a HUGE list that would leave you scrabbling about in the message window. I don't like the thought of this tbh.

i might be able to add some kind of search feature.

/xrsearch <enter a keyword here>

and it will work like the extension filter except it will only display files with the keyword in the name. hows that sound?

How would that differ from typing

/xrlist *keyword*

or does the filter only work for extensions?

In any case, might not know what I am after, and might just want to browse

Ok good job I will install it now and by the way the menu always showed for me , Even in the beta :\

doesn't plus offer a file sharing command?

Yes, you are perfectly right! But this plug-in is different. You share a folder (and its subfolders) and people can get what they want from that folder themselves. In Plus!, on the other hand, you can make a list of your ten (?) favourite files that you want to be able to send quickly and effortly to your contact.
And with this plug-in you can get files from your own computer when you are at work/school/Wendy's place, etc. Provided you have this plug-in on that computer as well and that you log in to another account, of course! Enough differences to warrant this plug-in, right?

not like this, with plus's file shareing command you basically just have shortcuts to common files that when you click it sends that file to them, with this plugin you can ask someone for a file and they dont even have to be there to accept it.

It means you can leave your PC on at home and download files from your home PC from anywhere easilly.

SUGGESTION!:you Could Make IT So that you can share more then one folder and then when you type /xrlist it will ask you which folder you want.like if you wanted my pickled movies the thing would give you a shortcut like /xr2 to open it

Just put sub folders in the Folder dir.
