List of Feature Requests

== Things I hate about the new version (please change):

It doesn't seem like you can decide the maximum number of searches anymore. It just seems to cut off at some point (around 10?).

You can only see about 3! search tabs at once, after which you have to click that drop-down to see the other searches. This seems minor but is probably my least favorite part of the new versions.

You can't right-click a tab and "repeat search." In fact, I don't see any way to repeat a search without closing the tab and re-typing the search term.

== New things I'd like to see:

I'd love "repeat ALL searches" and "get more results for ALL searches" options.

== Note: This is my first post, so I'm sorry if these requests are duplicates or are in the wrong spot.

Thanks.

LimeWire Forums

Thank you. I'll try that.

I would love to be able to save playlists. My library is quite extensive, its a pain to have to go through it every time I want to listen to music. Also, I like to open my playlists in my windows media player because if I have any other windows open, the limewire media player skips

I believe playlists will be returning in the next release of LW 5, however that might not be for another couple of months. ;)
Alternative in meantime is to downgrade to LW 4. Lime Wire » Download Out-Of-Date Installers, which did have a save playlist option. :)

I am so happy you told me about the downgrade. I didn't think that was possible. Color me happy, I can jam again. Thankyou.

I don't remember whether I raised this concern/made this suggestion before.
I wish there were an option in Limewire whereby users could make corrections to song titles and artist names. There are a lot of songs with simple errors in their titles, songs that are identified as a completely different songs, and songs with incorrect performers' names attached. I recall once being able to contact a host and informed him/her of the errors on some tracks he/she was sharing. He/she responded, "I don't know what they are. I just download and share." Actually, he/she admitted he/she had never even heard of the songs I was talking about. Makes for a lot of wasted time downloading incorrect stuff.

I have been buying your software, I want to connect as an ultrapeer not a leaf

You can connect as an UP providing that you...

- have a reasonably fast connection

- aren't firewalled (tools > advanced tools & you'll see whether you're behind a firewall)

Staying connected to the network for a long time (high uptime) can also help.

If you meet that criteria, the network will choose you to be an UP when UPs are needed :)

If you're showing as behind a firewall, you can give us your system details & we might be able to help out with that issue: System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

There isn't a great advantage to connecting as an UP... you might see a small difference in search results (as UPs connect to a greater number of other UPs & leaves than a leaf). But on the other hand, in my experience UPs tend to see fewer uploads than a leaf.

Both help the network in different ways... UPs by devoting bandwidth to handling more search traffic (& shielding leaves from unnecessary traffic) & leaves by devoting bandwidth to uploads.

Hi Caissa,

When you select a tab, the search box is automatically filled in with the search words from that tab, so you can just hit Enter to repeat the search.

Hope this helps,
Michael
