1) Perhaps a button that allows LimeWire to scan your shared folders and refresh your list of shared files. I often see "File Not Found" messages in my upload list because I have a tendancy to rename blatant misspellings or misnomers. It also doesn't seem to refresh after file deletion. I'm not sure if there's a way to automatically detect file modifications, but at least the user could refresh manually.

2) An exit command from the file menu. Ideally, the user should have the choice either to shut down or minimize to system tray (in Windows) by the normal close button in the top right, and there should be a dedicated, immediate exit function available also. Just an aggravation to me. Maybe I haven't figured it out yet.

You can select your shutdown option from Tools/Options/Shutdown

Brandan, try clicking Refresh in the Library section after making changes. That should reload all the shared files.

efield:
That will probably do it. I completely forgot about the library tab.

I can't check right now, though. I shut down yesterday and haven't been able to load past the "Upgrade to Pro" dialog since then. Error is:

Assertion failed: (lock & JAWT_LOCK_ERROR) == 0, file CBanner.cpp, line 36

I'll keep hacking unless someone can tell me what's changed.

bobomon:
Yes, but if I want the ability to minimize to the system tray, then both the default close button in the top right and the "Close" function of the file menu will minimize, and then I have to shutdown through the context menu of the system tray icon. I just think there should be an "Exit" function available to shut down the application regardless of the selection of the above option. This is infinitesimally trivial, but maybe the developers could knock it out one afternoon when things are moving slowly. Or maybe I'll get the source sometime.

Thanks,

i'd like a retine search option too. possibly on the tab down like repaet search add 'refine search '
can remind us why and or " " & - [not] can't be used or added

example: b**tles *or* W*ngs *not* cover
*"J*t Plane"*

just an idea using *'s to enclose the meta-words

*and* must have both
*or*
*not*
*[* *]*

any comments welcome... hey trying to help...

oops forgot *"* *"*
and should be *"*jet plane*"* in second example

I think that even the built in mp3 player/library is a waste of time. Other programs are available which will organize/play your files, and they do it better than Limewire.

A program shouldn't try to be a jack-of-all-trades. Limewire should concentrate on downloading files and that's all. Time spent on other things is time not spent improving the p2p client,
and that's bad.

Trying to be all things to all people is impossible, you'll just end up mediocre in all categories.

Totally agree. Limewire should concentrate on *downloading files* and nothing more.

i agree.
how about keeping what theygotbut having an application-file format information in options:
mp3......winamp
avi.........media player
mov......quicktime
mpeg....media player
wav......mediaplayer


etc, etc

you get the idea...

Its been requested before but I want to add my voice;
BRING BACK NUMBER OF HOSTS!!!!!
I bought Limewire Pro (back when it was $15 I might add), but have since reverted to an older version specifically so I could have this feature.
It makes no sense to start a search if you haven't even connected to anyone!
