Opera’s DC++ (oDC) 5.31

April 10th, 2008 · No Comments

oDC is an acronym for Opera’s DC++ which is based on the popular Direct Connect clone”DC++”.
Since DC++ is open source, you can download the source code and start modifying it. This is what I have done. To do this, you need to stick to GPL (GNU General Public License). That’s why I release my modifications as well.

What oDC has, and dc++ has not (everything is not presented here):
· Web links opens in new windows, instead of existing ones
· Seconds are shown in timestamps
· The sfv-check tells the result in the lowest status bar
· Auto-complete user names in main chat
· Skiplist. Files you don’t want to be downloaded will be skipped
· Popup-menu for url’s. Uou can either “Open”, “Save as…” or “Add to Winamp playlist”
· “Go to file” in the popup menu in the search result window. Downloads the file list and “goes” to (focuses on) the file
· Notification in PM’s when the user goes offline so you won’t have to write messages that he/she won’t see
· “Auto-search for alternatives” on both folders and multiple selected files
· User-specified textcolor (not just 16 colors, but Any color)
· User-defined colors in main chat (multicolor ie)
· Filter useless NMDC messages
· Filter in the user list. This way you can easily find users in the list
· Added icons to the window tabs, so you can easily see what that specific tab is (optional)
· Fast auto-search algorithm for the “search for alternatives” feature
· Customized colors for the progress bar in the transfer window
· Fast search for alternates for “releases”
· /lastlog feature
· Support for multi-button-mice
· Vertical tile feature to be able to tile sub-windows vertically, not only horizontally
· Option (in the View-menu) to show/hide the transfer window
· “File menu” to the transfer menu, to open incomplete files (or its folder[s])
· Web Shortcuts. Now you can type eg. “/g [search string]” to search google directly from chat
· File information (dimmed) in transfer window for files not beeing currently downloaded but is waiting
· Update check feature
