it's just hard for some of the people in Undernet #Philosophy who have either never used DOS or don't remember how
If its hard for them to to master a few commands like DIR, CD <folder>, CD .., GET <filename> I really wonder how they even managed to get to the fileserver anyway.
besides, there are bonus features with the file explorer. you can easily queue up several files or even folders (can't do folders now at all) in one fell swoop.
Since mircs fserve functions dont support queuing files, i dont see how having an fserver explorer that lets you select lots of files is going to help that. 3rd party scripted fserve extentions allow the idea of queuing files, and since each and every one of these brings back a different responce to the act of queueing I would think it quite hard to build an fserver explorer that does anything more than current scripted ones do now (blind requests)
you can easily navigate the folders, etc.
Actually its not as easy as you would think since there is little to let an fserver explorer know what is a folder and what might not be, I have seen mean a person enter "CD Sysreset" and other such statements.
there's a good reason we switched from DOS to Windows over the course of OS's.
Yeah microsoft wanted a bigger cut of the market
* lastely i would say use a feature like the in channel (or pm) !request <nick> <file> to allow quick and easy file downloads.
