Comments on: AllPeers Roadmap - Part Two http://www.allpeers.com/blog/2006/09/15/allpeers-roadmap-part-two/ The official AllPeers blog Sun, 12 Oct 2008 05:37:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: ttnet http://www.allpeers.com/blog/2006/09/15/allpeers-roadmap-part-two/#comment-204612 ttnet Sat, 08 Mar 2008 09:35:16 +0000 http://www.allpeers.com/blog/2006/09/15/allpeers-roadmap-part-two/#comment-204612 I discussed this with someone at Mozilla, and I think the Right Solution will be to have AllPeers running in its own process with Firefox serving as the user interface. In this way, you could close FF completely and leave AllPeers running so that your shares are still available. Unfortunately this won’t be possible until FF 3.0 (for technical reasons that I should probably explain in a blog post), at the earliest, but at least we have something to look forward to.

You guys should consider incorporating GTalk as it uses Jabber Protocol. For instant messaging, I want something simple like Google Talk.

It is annoying to try to figure out if the transfers are moving or not. Also, transfers should show up and download at the same time from the same screen please put a progress bar in transfers, either a byte count, or a transfer rate, or something.

The blank menu bug is also fixed. I do think that the icon will be more useful when we have additional features like drag-n-share to the tray icon (so you can drag-n-share even if the FF window is not in the foreground), display of notifications (e.g. you have new stuff in AllPeers), etc. So when we add these we'll revisit the issue and maybe make the icon more prominent (or have an option to do so).

I have FF close completely when I close it. FF is open almost all the time on my computer anyway. I can't see what's in the menu because of the bug, but I'm pretty sure I don't need it. I'd like to see the option to turn it off while it's not minimized to the tray. A manual "send to tray" option might be good too. Matt, the tray icon bugs me because I don’t really need it.

So I think that concern has already been addressed. Regarding the system tray icon: what bugs you? Is it the icon in itself, or the fact that Firefox closes to the system tray (instead of exiting completely)? The latter can already be turned off in AllPeers/Preferences. We are planning to make the icon less obtrusive, easier to turn off, etc., but I would like to understand better what bothers people about it (for those who don't like it).
