5 suggestions for bucket explorer

Postby saurabh » Fri Sep 28, 2007 1:15 pm

Saurabh: I tried starting a new thread in the forum, but the spam filter pops-up every time I try to submit my post. I have no idea what it is about my post that is causing it not to process, but it's pretty frustrating! Anyway, my suggestions are below. I would be glad to start a thread on them, but I can't!

-Carlton


1. Refresh local file listing (without switching to one directory and back to the original)

2. Ability to rename local files (currently have to do this in Windows Explorer)

3. Have the option to auto re-connect to the last bucket on startup (instead of re-entering it each time)

4. When right-clicking a file, have the option to copy the torrent address to the clipboard (just like you can with the Public URL)

5. I have my own domain pointing to an S3 bucket; it would be nice if these buckets could be flagged to return the custom domain URL instead of the default Amazon URL. Not sure if this "use different URL info" might be a setting stored on the local PC or a config file stored in the bucket itself. Either way, it would be a useful feature to have if you plan on using the custom domain name.

Carlton:

Thanks for the feedback.
0. We are using a phpbb mod to restrict guests / new users to post a URL until they have at least 10 posts. I don't see any URL in your post, but don't know why it kept giving you spam message. I will have to check with our phpbb expert. We will try to modify the mod to fix this.

1-5. All of your suggestions are excellent. We collected all the feedback provided till August 30th, and we are trying to release one version with that feedback by end of this month or latest by Monday / Tuesday. Once that release is out for public beta, we will start working on all the change requests that we got in the month of September.

Again, thanks for your suggestions for improvements.

Carlton,

All features, except the one to remember the last bucket have been implemented in this release -> http://downloads.bucketexplorer.com/win ... 0.27.0.exe

i.e. 1,2,3 & 5 are done. I will be moving this thread to deferred requests forum, so we don't forget that we still need to add #4. We will add that later.

Thanks for your feedback.
