repeat search
 

I was using LW 3.9, decided to try the new LW4.14 beta.

I use to set the search pulldown to repeat search every 15 mins. for hard to find files, This has worked great for me in the past.

But with the new 4.14, it only has repeat in the pulldown... WHY???? How does the repeat function now work???

I'm very confused as to what you're talking about. No version of LimeWire has allowed the user to set a time for repeat searching.

"me thinks redtsunami was using JUM's builds...."
However no official build had that option on search tabs.

:D

HUH? I thought using that would get your query banned!

Dang! :mad:

btw--just choose the "Repeat" in the official builds, and the "Once Only" in the jums.

Oh well, they will put me into a tar pit and then put feathers on me for that.

Oh no, I should have shut my damn mouth :(

Qui vivra verra ;)

So now that the cat is out of the bag, what other "niceties" have you put in your version?

Note: we have the ability to read code and are not afraid to use it. Surrender peacefully or else... ;)

Well, as you heard here already I did add a submenu to the repeat seach menu item that allows to repeat once, every 15 minutes or every 30 minutes.

I also did add a suspend downloads button to the montor tab (for us upload bandwidth constrained ADSL users). Now that there is more space in the download button row one could add a similar one there as well.

A major addition is mostly for power users and programmers only, namely an additional tab with a BeanShell scripting console. You can redirect logging there, and run BeanShell scripts which pretty much sport java syntax. I use this to quickly examine and set variables in LimeWire, for example. This also includes a BeanShell script file that is run on startup (optional), the sample script I have put into my distribution does add such things as automatically open (and optionally repeat) your favorite queries upon LimeWire start,
a resume thread that does periodically resume all downloads that are in your queue and a sample menu to the menu bar with a few handy functions like clearing only these downloads in the queue that are 100% complete.

If there is interest in any of these features I can make patches available.

That BeanShell thing sounds VERY interesting. Please send a patch and some pointers where we can read more about the syntax.

Also, how hard do you think it would be to add this BeanShell functionality to the CLI? Some people (myself included) would love to be able to exercise more control over their nodes through the console ;-)

Docs about BeanShell can be found at the obvious place: http://www.beanshell.org/

As for the patch, I would assume you would like to see just the patch for BeanShell alone, I will extract it and post it to the gui mailing list.

What CLI do you mean? I do only know LimeWire as a GUI program. BeanShell has an option to start a telnet listener, so adding this code to the LimeWire.bsh file that is read upon startup would make the BeanShell console available via telnet, would that be what you are looking for?

You should put some of my requerying code into your version. - They'll hire somebody to gun you down.

The CLI is in com.limegroup.gnutella.Main (as opposed to com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main) in the core module. It is very minimal and I'd love to see it get more functionality.

I wouldn't so much like a direct telnet opening for security reasons; the CLI on the other hand can be tunelled over ssh and I can use 'screen' with it ;-))

Oh well, that one is pretty primitive. I like to be able to at least interact in a sensible way for just the standard things, so I control my LimeWire remotely using ssh and a tunneled VNC connection, works great and allows one as a developer to exercise the GUI as well. :D

What about encouraging people to leave their LW running with a "while away" sub-menu for the "Repeat Search"?

Better yet, I'd like LW to automatically re-search for the key terms of inactive downloads "while away."

this option would become available in the downloads pane (rather than reactivating overly broad queries) . . .

--if it had been active at least once (i.e--there is a source out there that has been manually found and initiated by the user)

--if there has been no keyboard or mouse action for 1 or 2 hours. (allows refreshing downloads overnight or while at work).

Would a limited automatic search once every 1 or 2 hours from an otherwise inactive machine be harmful or easily abused?
