Guys... first of all: your work rocks. Seriously. RAWKS!!
The
only thing that really ticks me off (
REALLY ticks me off) is the following:
(i) I'm typing furiously (I do things like that a lot: furiously).
(ii)Some contact on my list decides to send me some file and just goes ahead and sends it without a hello, even (they do that a lot: send stuff without even saying hello).
(iii)Since the 'Save As'-dialog comes up immediately (with the filename already selected... extention and all), I find that I've furiously typed whatever I was furiously typing as the filename of whatever it was that anyone was sending.
(iv)Now I don't know what it is: what it's name is or its file type. And that
REALLY ticks me off.
(v)I cancel the download and proceed to give some lame excuse to whoever tried to send it –so as not to have to explain all of this– and ask if they'd be so kind as to send it once again.
(vi)As the file downloads, I wonder why this has been left like that... as it reminds me all too painfully of my MSN Messenger days when I'd be typing something (again: furiously) and the client would open a new window whenever someone first talked to me. I finish typing –oblivious to the fact that a new window was open and active–, hit the enter key, and find that I just sent half of my message to the wrong user. Man... I used to hate that sooo bad. And it nags me that AdiumX –such a well-written, but even more important: well-thought-out IM client– gives me its very own version of that nasty behaviour!!
Frustrating, indeed.
So, I hope that you can include a little dialog asking to accept or decline the files sent before the 'Save As' dialog comes up. Or, what would be even better, a feature like MSN Messenger's way of dealing with file transfers: a link to Accept and another to Decline right in the conversation window. that's the
single feature I really miss about that piece of crap Microsoft calls an IM client.
Serge.
PS. Please excuse me if I sound ticked off... it just happened a few minutes ago, and that's why I ventured in here to look for either an immediate solution or at least promising post hinting at a possible solution in upcoming releases.
See you, Space Cowboy...
, leave me in the dark with whats happening. Hopefully some day well see a transfer manager sytem, like just a neat little window that shows all incoming and outgoin with all the stats, would make things truely complete
