[suggestion] File receive sorting by skorpan on 09-10-2006 at 08:22 PM

Hi,

I dont know how many times I've seen this feature been requested..

Please, make it possible to get files sorted into [received files folder]\user@domain.com. In other words, sorted after the senders e-mail.

Why isn't that implemented? I am trying to code a script for it, but it seems that it isn't possible to detect a file transfer either =(

hmmm....ya that is a really good idea! I mean, there are already different folders for conversation history, but files arent?
BUT...i people dont use file transfer all the time, and the files are there. So if you want Patchou to do this in future versions, it may be slim.

AND ALSO, I'm wondering if Sharing Folders can have folders?

The idea is very good and has been requested many times before, but it is just not paticually easy to code.  As there are no events for file transfer, it would involve either packet sniffing, hooking the windowless richedit control, active accesability reading the conversation window or setting the virus scanner setting in the Messenger preferences to an app which does it.

But the virus scanner doesn't get who the file is from, only what the file is.

but getting the sender is the easy part compared to detecting when the transfer is complete

Then it may be possible to set up a program that reads a datafile that a plugin puts out.

If that's understandable.
