old request--

Toggling the nested Shared folders to a flat display would be good (it's difficult to see the most popular uploads from an iTunes Music or iPhoto folder since the files are often nested quite deeply).

Since path info is included in search results, toggling the flat display to nested would be very useful for downloading from a browsed host.

I would like to see for Windows XP, the songs to automatically copy into Windows Media Player or itunes. I know on the mac version it automatically copies the song into itunes. They should do that so it automatically copies songs into wmp.

There was a proposal to share mp3's stripped of their metadata some time ago (only the data-part of the file), so files with different metadata can be merged together. Are there still plans for this?

That way, metadata would be transfered via xml or similar, so the receiving host adds them itself (but search results would still show the files with metadata, only the invisible part: The swarming would be done with stripped files, and every query result would have to have two hashes: one with metadata for older nodes and one for the stripped file-part for those, which support this kind of sharing).

i want a browser so itll be more convient to use the net and download.... a browser and limewire takes up a lot of memory together...so why not put em together

WOW! A net browser incorporated in LW? And what makes you think that this wouldn't consume just as much cpu? (Don't know. Could be...)
Anyways, that would be a whole lot of work, to make a good browser. And if the Lw devs (somehow) decide to go for it, .... Me thinks that either the price of Lw will increase significantly (for the Pro, if they decide to keep the Basic), or they'd have to recruit an entire dev department dedicated to the browser, because LW is written in Java and browsers (from what I understand) aren't. Plus, in order to keep the cross-platform nature of LW, they'd have to make different versions of the browser too... And I've seen how different a browser can be from PC to Mac (IE).

Actually, LimeWire integrates a web browser component in the Basic Windows version, to display the content of the LimeShop page (loaded locally). It is an IE component, with no navigational feature. This pane will most probably disappear in the next release. Java has its own browser classes, with limited capabilities (no CSS2 support, no JavaScript, and a still too poort HTML 3 parser, but it is enough to build a GUI interface, as seen in the "About..." scrolling window). But it would be effectively interesting to find a cross-browser support class for Java that allows a clean integration of modern browsers for desktops: IE, Netscape (4, or Gecko-based 7+), the MacOSX default browser, or the excellent (Gecko-based) Mozilla Firefox browser for Windows/Linux/Mac.

I think that in filter options that the htm/html should also block url links

Selfish and egocentric as I am, I just want a purple and black version of the pink and black skin, without having to make it myself... Did I mention I'm lazy too.

Thank god for lazy people like you

I also would like that skin

On each start of LW, the default column sort is by #. Is there a way to change this? I just wanted to know before posting in the new features section here.

Remember last search TYPE (i.e. audio, video, images, etc.). Since I would guess that many users use Limewire only for a particular type of file (such as audio) that would save most of us a click

Add drop down arrows to the taps (or what they are now). I don’t like to use the ctrl key

Re-search button for corrupted downloads. click failed download and have it start a search for it

I would like a pull down, either a separate box or from the title box that would have a list of previous search terms. This way I don’t have to retype things like cute kittens and love poems. remember for each session.
