I think that PHEX really need some "anti social content" button/filter.

Its anynoing to see such disgusting serach results like:
"**** sucker, 6yr old lolita"
when im trying to serach anything.

Maybe this would be possible with an inverse text filter for starters.

If one of the filtered words is in the search-field, it should naturally be taken out of the filter.

I called it "Offending Content Filter", for no better name came to my mind right now (though "anti social content filter" also sounds nice, but I don't think many people would undrstand it, at least I had to read on to know its meaning).

It shouldn't be that much of a hassle, I hope.

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."

another thing, for the download folder, it would be nice to have each download's files in a separate folder.

thanks!

Here's my list:

1. Customize the 'File Types' in the filter. E.g., add or remove extensions to each, add/remove categories as well.

2. Automatically refresh the display in the 'Search' window after banning hosts.

3. In the search tab, the ability to filter out words (as others have already pointed out, this would be very useful).

3. In the search tab, the ability to limit search to ALL keywords, not just one and/or the other.

4. In the Search tab, the ability to filter strings.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. A customizable offensive content filter, which would be separate from the above filters.

8. Customizable 'ban hosts' on right-click in the Search tab. Why should I have to go to the Security tab to redefine the ban?

9. 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.

10. In the Download tab, a 'Retry All Candidates For All Files'

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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'?

That's all for now I think.

With all that said, I still think Phex is the best client I've found. I use it all the time. Thanks much!

> 12. 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.

Except for this one (can't fix it, because the hosts report themselves to be browsable, but in truth aren't) the ideas all sound great!

I add them to the List.

Well, it must surprise you to know that everyone on this planet does not run on the same screen resolution as those apperently developing Phex, so what I would like to see is some consideration in this area, for example the ability to resize everything both vertically and horizontally, I have no scrollbar for my results and thus must use my mouse wheel.

I also feel compelled to add that I'm not a big fan of the new icons or the movement of the filter box, perhaps the icons could be easily cured with an option to use the older ones and while I'm at it I might as well mention that the check boxes for the filters are not working on my machine.

I'm runing Linux at 800X600 B.T.W.

I'd like to see a binary for Mandriva 2008.

I have never been able to install it from source code

Cheers

Luis

Mandriva got rid of every p2p client which isn't a torrent client.
For phex in mandriva you need to:
install java
donwload the phex .jar file

run: $ java -jar phex.jar (you can associate this in kde or gnome so every time you click the phex.jar file the "java -jar phex.jar" command runs)

Best regards,
Manifest0

Thanks a lot

I'll try this and post back if something wrong happens.

Regards

Luis

Yes it works as you explained

I really like the interface... clean and neat.. althouh I could never close the app to the systray, however it's a great app.

I hope soon is in my native language (Spanish) and also hope in a near future , ALL the java devs/coders write an applet where we users can increase/change the size/style of the fonts. This is something that stoped me to use limewire/frostwire (so hard to read in my 1680x1050 monitor

Kind Regards

Luis


EDIT Where can I get an icon for my Desktop?
