Browse User's Files: Save tab w/Information Between QT Sessions
Submitted by Insiteful on Wed, 10/22/2014 - 13:27
Description:
I have a few users that I share with regularly. It would be very convenient to be able to save their library of files, and not to re-browse their files each time I log in (as it stands right now, when I log off soulseekQT, my browse tabs are lost.) This feature would also provide users the ability to queue files from a "saved" browse tab, even if the user is no longer online, queued for when they do return online.

Or... Ability to Print?
Another possibility, which may be easier to implement, would be the ability to print a list of user's browsed files, for offline review later on. This would not be as powerful as having the actual Browsed list retained (for selecting files to download), but would at least provide the list for offline review from session to session. ;)
Interesting, it could be
Interesting, it could be possible to implement an another feature to this that would show new/added filed when re-browsed.
The new added files would be in bold black font or something. Basicly any difference from the last browse save would be shown as new at first but this could be refined.
It would be a mighty powerful feature.

Print? No. We could all save on paper if Nir programs a simple new software called... lets say, SLSKBrowser, that would open your browse saves externaly without slsk even running. Also... maybe i did not understood, print as in print to pdf, maybe?
Yes, good idea!
Yes, I meant "print to pdf" :)
There is one huge advantage to keeping the browse tab from session-to-session (as opposed to exporting the browsed list to pdf or otherwise): The ability to queue the files you would like to download from the browse tab - even if the user goes offline. We would lose that ability if the "list" is simply exported to an external file.
That is a great idea to show changes from session to session, if it can be implemented.
