- Increase field length for group names, its too short to add color
codes for example.
This is in the plans next data file revamp!
- MCI codes for file/msg base/groups numbers.
There really aren't numbers. Well, there are but they are unique identifiers to identify their record in the database, not always sequential numbers.
Because you are cleaning up the directory/files, I request it once more
;) -> - Option to define a location (path) for the file/msg base data files - Option to define a location (path) for the file header files
Message base is already configurable right down to individual message bases. My goal is to eliminate places in the configurations where paths need to be defined because it makes moving the BBS directory very difficult (or switching between Linux and Windows very difficult).
I'd prefer to try to not add more places to configure paths if I can help it.
- Chat request notification in snoop window behind username
I will make sure this is in the TODO!
- An option to create a semaphore file when a user logs off /
disconnects
You could do this already using the create semaphore menu command with the logoff option, however, that wouldn't work when a connection is lost. Do you want this file to be node specific or just whenever a node is shutdown?
- INS to switch between insert/overwrite mode in the full screen editor
? Now it brings up the help screen and when you choose continue it
writes some garbage.
What terminal are you using? I just tested it with NetRunner and INS works fine, and I logged in locally in Windows and it works fine.
Could it be that you do not have the updated template for the FS editor? I think that was part of an update a while back like maybe 2 years ago? Whenever draft message saving/resuming and auto-saving messages on connection loss was added in.
- ESC key to exit the help box in full screen editor
I'll look into this. Its a configurable box inside of the template but I can see if there is can be a way to change the "C"ontinue into the ESC key.
- Normal file listing type: Add <end of file listing> line of text/warning. Now the listing is suddenly gone at the last page.
This wouldn't work for a new scan, but for a regular listing you could stack
a menu command there to say end of listing. But it does always stop at the
end of the listing with the file listing prompt. It should never just scroll off until you tell it to.
Maybe I can make a new prompt that only displays when its the end or add a %
to the listing prompt so you'll know when its 100% done.
- Normal file listing type: Flagging/Tagging files: multiple file numbers input, something like: 1-6 or 1,2,5,7
I've never added this just because with file description length there is usually only one or two files on the screen at once so it didn't seem worth
the effort.
Plus you can just type the number to tag them without using the (F)lag option these days, so its already super fast unless you have a ton of files on the screen. (ie pressing F then typing 1,2,Q is slower than just pressing 1 and 2)
I will add it to the TODO list though! It can't hurt to have more ways to do it.
- Normal file listing type: Flagging/Tagging prompt, overwrite the file listing prompt and overwrite it again with the normal prompt when leaving the chosen option.
Then it wouldn't be able to show the "File.zip has been added/removed from queue" prompt, since it'd immediately have to erase it again to replace it
with the prompt. I am not sure how well that would work.
- Option to specify the date format in file listing: like mm/dd/yyyy
It uses the user's selected date format from their account settings!
