Bug#327194: gtk-gnutella: Default sort order should be highest # hits on top
Johan Walles wrote: As for the usability issue, I have to click the column header for every search, every time I add a new search, and every time I re-start gtk-gnutella. So it's not a one-off operation as you seem to suggest. The default was switched back to unsorted. However, the search results context menu has now an item Make current sorting default to declare the sorting settings of the current search as defaults. If you start further changes, the results will use these sorting settings automagically. Furthermore, the column headers in the have also three instead of just two states now, so you can make the tree unsorted again. Finally, the sorting settings for each search is saved and restored on startup. The latter two features have been implemented in the Gtk+ 1.2 for quite some time but are new in the Gtk+ 2.x GUI. Thus, this report can be closed when the next release (0.95.5 or 0.96) is available. -- Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Ok, I reconsidered and as it turned out to be much simpler than I expected, this is now implemented in Gtk-Gnutella in current CVS. -- Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The results are implicitely arranged in the order they arrive and grouped by checksum. I don't think sorting by number of sources by default is really a good idea because in many cases these results are actually spam. This counter shouldn't be confused with a quality indicator or the probability for a successful download. It is what it is, a counter of the number of results matching a certain checksum. Sorting by this counter as a default might also increase the likelyness that less experienced users tend to download the spam results as they would appear on top of all others. Changing the sort order takes only a single click, so it's no usability issue either. -- Mailblocks - A Better Way to Do Email http://about.mailblocks.com/info -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: gtk-gnutella Version: 0.95.4-1 Severity: wishlist Try this: Start gtk-gnutella. Do a search for something that will give you a bunch of hits (try abba for example). Look at the search results when you have received a bunch of them. Current result: The results list is sorted by something other than the number of hits for each search result. Expected result: The results list should be sorted by the number of hits for each search result. Workaround: Click the # column header in each search. Note: The reason I want this is because I'm most often most interested in high quality hits. Assuming that URN:SHA1s with garbage doesn't spread to as many nodes as the high quality hits, sorting by # hits will tend to put the most high quality hits on top. This isn't *guaranteed* to work of course, but for me it tends to work well in practice. And as stated above, of course I can manually change the sorting order for all searches after starting gtk-gnutella, and after adding a new search. It's just that since the only search order I tend to use is falling-number-of-hits, it would be better if that was the default. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-1-686 Locale: LANG=sv_SE, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages gtk-gnutella depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.1-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.5-6GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.0-1The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.8-1The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.2-1Layout and rendering of internatio ii libxml2 2.6.20-1 GNOME XML library ii zlib1g1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime gtk-gnutella recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, there's no default sorting at all. The results are implicitely arranged in the order they arrive and grouped by checksum. I don't think sorting by number of sources by default is really a good idea because in many cases these results are actually spam. This counter shouldn't be confused with a quality indicator or the probability for a successful download. It is what it is, a counter of the number of results matching a certain checksum.
