[[Category:Development]]

This is the backup from 2006-09-05 of the [[Wishlist|list of feature requests]] for Phex. I sorted it according to what I think most important. Feel free tpo discuss it in this thread and to add new feature requests in here. I partly cathegorize simply by intuition, but I hope this is no problem :)

Info: *Bug reports should go to: [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=388892&group_id=27021&func=browse Bugs at sourceforge].*

The three categories stand for:

a) Profile: Feature Requests, which are on the wishlist or have not yet been done, but seem important, and can be used for PR. What can set Phex apart.

b) Backend: All those parts which improve the general inner workings of Phex. The harsh reality behind the Look and Feel (the GUI).

c) GUI and Polish: In contrast to the backend, this is about all those things, which improve the feeling of the user interface and the usability for the user, often without offering significant "objective" advantages (else than maybe a few clicks less work), but often make the difference in the first choice of programs.

d) Other: There are always things, which defy cathegorisation.

''Green items are already done.''

==Profile==

* magma
* Library enhancements
* i2p (anonymous p2p using Phex and i2p) - [http://forum.i2p.net/viewforum.php?f=25 i2Phex] is a quite nice first step.
* Net-Zip: Private Networks made easy
* A system wide filter (by Tom, done: gregor)
* The ability to save common user defined filters and be able to apply them directly in the filter menu/area. (by Tom, done: gregor) The ability to save the current filter.
* Statistics: Most downloaded files (downloaded-size/filesize , else it will show the biggest files only...).
** Statistics saved into a file and kept over restarts. ([[User:ArneBab|bab]])
* Save upload-infos to a file, sorted by number of uploads (or similar, maybe downloaded size divided by the filesize, so we see the real number of complete file-downloads).
* different queues for small, medium and large files (a feature for the uploaders):
http://draketo.de/inhalt/krude-idee...disscussion.html

==Backend==

* 24/7, recognize network restarts and outages (done: gregor)
* UHC (done:gregor)
* MetaData readout and display (maybe take the classes from LimeWire...)
* updating hostiles-file via a magnet on a server (or a magma-file containing the magnet) => Updating resource files (for example language files).
* Reactivate automatic querying with, at the very most, an absolute value of 1 requery per hour.
* Phex as Daemon, usable without GUI (from andargor)
* Connection Preferencing: Min number of Phex-connections, max number of connections by one vendor; different settings for leaf and UP-state.
* Ability to connect with all selected favorites hosts, not only with one host per click (by pawelsz).
* A system wide filter, in the Settings. For instance, I want to be able to filter out any result which has 'ebook' in it, whenever I search, without having to put in a temporary filter in the Search tab. This should also be able to filter (out) strings. (by clampak, done: gregor)
* Option for Always using Push-Proxy and masking the IP (halfsecure sharing).

==GUI and Polish==

* A configurable standard-filter and a filter with which I can exclude results containing certain phrases (like the "exclude" for the share). (done: gregor)
* An info with the number of shared files at the bottom of the window.
* An option to open musicfiles with the default external player from both the library and upload screen.
* I'd like to have the Settings screen to accept commands to play MP3, OGG, MPEG files with my favourite players (by lluisanunez)
* Ability to disable GUI (by pawelsz).
* Ability to run multimedia files inside PHEX via user specifed external program (by pawelsz).
* for the download folder, it would be nice to have each download's files in a separate folder (by miscblogger).
* Maybe the developers of Phex could add a way to filter with strings not just keywords. like instead of "desperate" and "housewives" we could use "desperate housewives." (by miscblogger, done: gregor)
''--- the next are all from clampak ---''
* Customize the 'File Types' in the filter. E.g., add or remove extensions to each, add/remove categories as well. (as of yet only avaible by changing the sources -[[User:ArneBab|Arne]])
* Automatically refresh the display in the 'Search' window after banning hosts.
* In the search tab, the ability to limit search to ALL keywords, not just one and/or the other. (only via filter, still protocol restrictions -[[User:ArneBab|Arne]])(possible with the advanced search filters)
* Ability to filter out certain file sizes. For instance, all those bogus files with size of 872,159 which take up a quarter of my search results. (done: gregor)
* A customizable offensive content filter, which would be separate from the above filters. (done via rules, just duplicate the adult-file-filter: gregor)
* Customizable 'ban hosts' on right-click in the Search tab. Why should I have to go to the Security tab to redefine the ban? (by gregork)
* In the Settings, I should be able to change the default setting for banning hosts. I'd like the time period to be much longer, even infinity. I'd like it to be customizable.
* In the Download tab, a 'Retry All Candidates For All Files'
* Ability to customize the amount of time before the candidates get removed from the downloading lists. Sometimes there's only one host, and I know it, but then it gets removed when it can't be found or whatever for some period of time. If I don't know where it came from, I can't retry it ever.
* When 'browsing hosts', it would be good to be able to tell if the host is unbrowsable, so I don't waste my time trying. (done by new info-strings while browsing. Only hosts which advertise themselves as browseable have the browse button active: gregor) 
* This could potentially be part of the 'offensive content filter', or could be done in the customizable one, but would be nice to be able to filter out those files from 30+ hosts that take your search term and add '.jpg' to it, or put underscores between all the letters and then '.jpg'. How about a 'crap filter'?
''--- end of clampaks requests ---''

''--- requests from Tom ---''
* I would really like to be able to connect to more than 5 nodes as a leaf node. I understand why leaf node connections are limited, but as it is currently it encourages people to check 'force to be a Ultrapeer' to be able to connect to more peers which defeats the purpose of having leaf nodes. Changing it to a warning that more than 5 connections for a leaf node is not recommended instead of having a hard limit would be a big improvement.
* I would like to be able to right-click an item to download and be able to select "download to" and be able to specify where that download would be put when completed. This would allow me to specify to put every downloaded file into different directory if I choose to.
* This is a low priority for me but, could Phex be skinable? (partly done by gregork through [[Icon Packs]])
''--- end of requests from Tom ---''

==Other==

*For magnet/Magma/rss/PodCast:
** Recognize magma-lists, when they are given as magnet or URL-download. (done: [[User:ArneBab|bab]])
** Recognize the as-parameter as acceptable source (done: [[User:ArneBab|bab]]) download needs to be verified with sha1-hash and in case of failure redownloaded without the as.
** Start a search for the file-name of the magnet, if the given sources fail or none are avaible. (done: gregork)
** Subscriptions to Magma/rss/PodCast (to feeds), recheck them every 48 hours, download only files not already in the share (done: [[User:ArneBab|bab]]).

==Unsorted further ideas:==
*the ability to remove folders from the library (done: gregor)
*inverse filter functions for searches (done: gregor)
