Yes, but I still think it would be an advantage for many reasons : 1 - everyone has it, so if we don't, it's a -1 for us (I know it's not a real/good reason but from the end-user perspective, it is) 2 - if we save the FT list in the config, it would be useful to open the FT manager and see which file, which person sent you a month ago.. easier than ls -lt on amsn_received, and having to use a plugin to sort our received folder... 3 - if you download many files, it IS important.. I don't use voice clips, you don't, I don't use webcam, vivia does, we don't use a lot of FTs but other users do. I mean, even ME, I do have sometimes (from time to time) 20 FTs or more in an hour from one or two people..
I hope it's convincing..
