I am sorry to dissapoint the designers... version Limewire 5 stinks in comparison to the previous versions. What were you smokin' when you all agreed that this version was ready for release?

You can post feedback about the new version over at this other forum, there's a section for LW 5: LimeWire Forums

You're more likely to get a response from developers there

They did toss out many of the long time functions in LW 5, they felt nobody really wanted them, especially those with simple minds who just want a simple program. Such loss of functions makes the program a little erm ... lacking in a way doesn't it. Uploads hold much less importance now. Identification of viruses is not important now apparently. Connecting with people who might be online but you might not find in a search results is no longer important. Chatting is irrelevant now. I'll leave it there I think, there are more functions they cut of course.

Holy Crap, I DETEST how LimeWire 5 doesn't have drag and drop capabilities. It makes transferring to anything a pain in the neck!

Last I heard, 'some' of the old functions might be re-introduced.

Limewire developers should start to consider creating an app for ipod touch or iphone. Basically, it would be able to do the same things as limewire on the computer just draw them from people iphones or ipod touchs. And instead of allowing people to trade programs, you could let them trade apps. Overall, the technology in this world is increasing in a way that soon computers will be outdated. Now people are using their iphones, ipod touchs, and cell phones for internet and other things. Limewire needs to get more with the program.

== Things I hate about the new version (please change):

It doesn't seem like you can decide the maximum number of searches anymore. It just seems to cut off at some point (around 10?).

You can only see about 3! search tabs at once, after which you have to click that drop-down to see the other searches. This seems minor but is probably my least favorite part of the new versions.

You can't right-click a tab and "repeat search." In fact, I don't see any way to repeat a search without closing the tab and re-typing the search term.

== New things I'd like to see:

I'd love "repeat ALL searches" and "get more results for ALL searches" options.

== Note: This is my first post, so I'm sorry if these requests are duplicates or are in the wrong spot.

Thanks.

The developers hardly ever post over here If you go to this other forum & register (click on link below), you can give feedback about LW 5 & maybe get a response from a dev
LimeWire Forums

Thank you. I'll try that.

Hi Caissa,

When you select a tab, the search box is automatically filled in with the search words from that tab, so you can just hit Enter to repeat the search.

Hope this helps,
Michael
