 Re: Magnet URI dialog

This is a minor cosmetic bug. So it isn't a biggie.
Running LimeWire 3.9.6 beta, java 1.4.2_04, in SuSE Linux 9.0 (at 800x600). When you copy a magnet URI to the clipboard, then switch to LimeWire, LimeWire stretches the dialog box to the width of the full magnet URI. So what I see is a dialog box that is wider than my screen can fit.
One sample URI that causes this is this:
magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:GZLEHA3FR46YNHEU5AEFUTAM5HYEEE MF &dn=LimeWireLinux.bin &xs=http://<my-ip>:6346/uri-res/N2R ?urn:sha1:GZLEHA3FR46YNHEU5AEFUTAM5HYEEEMF
(intentionally broken up with spaces to prevent it from stretching the forum's width) |
Magnets can contain anything and everything (and sometimes the same item several times), so there is no standard way to extract a more human-readable representation of the file contained in the magnet.
Setting a fixed maximum length may be an option but it is unlikely it will be in 4.0. Feel free to look around the code - we're open for ideas/suggestions. (com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/search/MagnetClipboardListener.java is where most of the related stuff happens) |
