I hope the new version you won’t try to “pretty” up the UI with your “slew of user interface changes”.

I really like the UI the way it is now, simple as possible but very useful in features. If you do decide to pretty it up, I hope the default stays simple and users who want easy or pretty UIs have the option to theme (with icons and all that).

As for the DCC info, I did realize I could open up the details, but they open in separate windows which clutter my taskbar – could you have them originate and minimize to the left-pane inside KoroIRC like mIRC does? But I’d still just prefer more details in the transfers window, and have them sortable. hehe ;p

So, I’ve been playing with it more, and have a few more comments/suggestions! (Hope you don’t mind..)

1. When the wizard or connection dialog are not set to show on startup, KoroIRC should automatically connect with the last used identity when started.

2. KoroIRC doesn’t yet support the normal irc select-text to copy to clipboard.

3. When a server is disconnected, on reconnect, client should rejoin open channels. (I also noticed when my internet connection fails, KoroIRC doesn’t notice and I have to manually “disconnect” to be able to connect again.)

4. When following irc links from a web browser, open new channels with the same server connection (if they are the same server)

The problem is that it didn’t fly with users at all. They’d just kinda stare at it and use it all wrong, and then complained KoroIRC was hard to use. Everytime I’d have somebody install it, I’d have to take time to explain to them how to connect to a server and why they should save it to an Identity (they assumed – rightly – that the dialog would retain its values like in mIRC). So I created the wizard to guide them in doing that and got much positive response, suddenly KoroIRC wasn’t so hard to use, somebody could use it correctly on first try without explanation! But, I kept the old-style dialog for me and others who don’t like to have to click through dozens of pages just to connect to a server.

As for DCC information, you can double-click a transfer in the pane to pop up a window with all the information you could ever dream of.

Also, I successfully created the KoroIRC.ini file, and saw that it was populated after the next run and I was able to “port” the entire directory to a different machine. Yay!

Oh! The items I miss the most from the DCC transfer window are “time remaining” and “% complete” columns. ;D

Thanks for your work!

To join channels, use the /join command.

The point of identities is making ONE per server you wish to connect to. An identity is the details of one connection, saved to a file. The point of putting multiple servers in the same identity is only to allow to connect to the next one if the current server is unavailable.

You can enable a more classic “Connect to Server” dialog by checking “Use old-style connection dialog” in Settings->Behavior. But it won’t remember what you put in here, that’s the job of identities.

Thanks for the DCC resume. I tried really well to stick to the protocol. As for sorting, well, I never imagined somebody would want to sort them, but I could look into it I guess.

Next.. how do you join channels (ones that you don’t have saved)? There is no “Join Channel” dialog box (a “last joined” list of channels would also be nice).

There is no “Connect to Server” dialog either. The loading of identities every time is confusing! How do I connect to a server that wasn’t the first I added? “Connect” always connects to the same server, even when I am already connected to it. I want to connect to 2 different (or more) servers at once.

Finally, bravo on the DCC resume! I’ve been going through quite a few clients that can’t manage it right. However, the transfers window is not configurable (add/remove/rearrange detail columns), and they do not sort by column-click.

Thanks, for the program.
