The idea was to start an alternate, more file-centric view of the downloads as an excuse to get gui/core separation forward with respect to the downloads. The downloads are one of the few places where gui and core code are intermixed and no sufficient API is defined in gnet.h and implemented in the core. Eventually the fileinfo pane should have had all the features of the downloads pane (showing all files, showing sources in the lower panel, showing alternate names in the lower panel, etc). Also the old downloads pane worked directly on the downloads-structure in gtkg and there was to way to really control the top-level structure which managed all downloads and sources (also downloads without sources which would not show in the downloads pane), namely the fileinfo structure. So the reasons were: - control of the top-level file information structure managing all downloads and sources - gui/core separation - eventually replacing the downloads pane -- Richard Eckart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Gtk-gnutella-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gtk-gnutella-devel
