O.P. Auto-accept everything --> PRIVACY ?!

Hey guys,

I often need to use the auto-accept files thing, a feature that I had been waiting for a long time (though it was on ICQ). Very useful coz when you're not home, people can still send you important files without you having to accept.

But i was sorry to see that if you want to auto-accept incoming files, you are to accept webcam transmissions as well (so my contacts can always see what i'm doing in my room : ^o) ) and games (so they can bother me when i'm working ! 8o|)

So i think you Patchou should differentiate these auto-accept things. You should be able to auto-accept only FILES, then other stuffs if you want...

Hope you will find this suggestion interesting !

BR,

Matt

I understand what he is saying. I am happy to have auto-accept turned on for file transfers, but would prefer more control over webcams, games etc.

If I recall correctly, Patchou mentioned wanting to add a finer grain control over the auto-accept functionality. I am not sure where it lies in his to-do list ^o)

if nobody would use it, would that change anything? a feature is a feature! even if it's for only one person...

sorry patch but that's looking for an excuse =/  but of course if you said you have other features to add i'd understand :)

That's not an excuse, that's just a good way to manage my time. I'm spending all my days working on the software, I just can't do everything everybody wants, especially if only one person asks for it. I always have to decide where to put my time and what's the most urgent. The Auto-Accept feature is here and it's working very well. Adding a type of stuff to filter will be an option that I'll add if I see that there's really a demand for it. That's how I've always worked and so far, it's been working fine :p.

Well, I would also use the Auto-Accept feature if it worked different than it does now. Files yes... Cam no.
So there's two people now :D

I think when you have some free time, you should add it. People (including me) will be very happy with that ;).

Indeed... I hope this gets implemented too (main reason why I don't use auto-accept right now, is because of this)...

I never mentioned this again (was first mentioned in that thread where you announced that auto-accept was going to be added), because I thought it was already on your to-do list for next update...
