PLEASE PLEASE can u make the microsoft wheely mouse work, its soooooooo anoying without it. Oh and when I press a letter on my keyboard can u make it so that it jumps to a filename/directory beging with that letter? it makes it far easyer to find directorys on your HDD. By the way great programme

hehe stupid me not reading past posts Why can't you just have an option to turn the wheely mouse on and off, thus keeping compatability?

you do not have to have an on/off feature for this

it is automatic if you do you use it

if you don't just do it the old way click the side
bar and drag.


any questions?

I know how to scroll downwards however its gets VERY annoying, anyone who has a wheely mouse knows what I am talking about. Any prog that doesn't feature it becomes annoying to use, I am not saying im going to stop using limewire (b/c im not) but it would very nice if it would, and I know it can't as I have read the previous topics on this. And i understand that you can't just trun that [deleted] thing off or on, all im saying is that its a shame

As some of you may know, Limewire is written in the Java programming language. Up until version 1.4 of the Java platform, wich is still in beta, the ability to utilize the mousewheel is not present using pure Java. Limewire is based on version 1.1.8 of the Java platform, in order to ensure compatibility with a wide range of systems for wich the newest version of the Java platform may not be available. If a mousewheel feature was to be implemented, it would require writing a native library (for each platform), and integrate it into the Java application using JNI. This is not impossible, in fact that is how the taskbar icon we Windows-users see has been implemented. Maybe they will take the time required to do this, but it is more likely that they will focus their attention at the core functionality, rather than on a secondary feature that is not directly related the file-sharing problematics.
