Sorry, but I don't get what you mean here. What exactly is wrong? Why do you think the GUID or SHA1 should be shown in the tooltip? I think it's not very useful there because you can't copy & paste from tooltips. The GUID is rather useless for a normal user anyway. The SHA1, however, can be used to start a search by urn:sha1 or maybe to manually search for it in a database like Bitzi. I wouldn't want to copy things like hashsums eye-to-keyboard, that's why I think it should definitely be in the details pane. > Well for the future request, I want properly formatted XML data, Ok, although that doesn't affect the tooltips. I've added some cheap indentation to the XML presentation. Of course, viewing the XML data is just a cheap interrim solution until Gtk-Gnutella can view such data properly. Though, that might never be implemented. Also, keep in mind that the data is (usually) for a complete results set (peers return single or more results in a set, not one-by-one). > Bitzi meta data if background searching is possible without burden > against the Gnet. Querying Bitzi doesn't cause any resource problem for Gnutella but it might for Bitzi.com. I have no idea how other software handles this i.e., whether they request this data automagically or on user request only like Gtk-Gnutella. > Then as concerned detecting a file itself (not a contents), I want > to know it's possible to detect by using like libmagic from "file" > so that distinguish invalid suffixed files or confirm no suffix > files (output of command "file" is a bit longer though). This leads again to the question whether Gtk-Gnutella should just download (and upload) files or whether it should also offer an interface to inspect and use files. In my opinion, we shouldn't go further than providing the URL (file:///) to the file, that is drag & drop support. This should usually be sufficient to pass a file to a GUI application (e.g., an audio/video player). -- Christian
