Forums Feature Suggestions 3 requests for the makers...

There a couple of things that I would like to suggest to the makers, specifcly Khaled and whoever reads this:

1. I noticed that there is an on ACTIVE event, but no command to switch the active windows, I think a rwnd switch with these commands would do could too.

2. It would be good to extend the functionality with the mIRC icon switching and be allowed to switch the main mIRC desktop icon(s) also

3. This one is totally optional, with the sockets function in mIRC I find it impossible to download .exe files or non text files so I think a could replacement for this would be a /download command

So what do you say...?

1. /window -a "Status Window" makes the status window the active window.
3. Read this.

for suggestion 1 use collectives method type /help /window and for suggestion 2 u can change the icons using a whole image file pretty easily, as for changing the desktop icons mirc uses, (usingXP) well right click your desktop shortcut and select properties then click the customize tab once u do that u can then chage the icon to any applicable image u may feel the need to use.

for your third suggestion, well mirc isnt a filesharing program or a web browser, there are other sutable alternatives to use for those ideas.

See: /help Binary Variables for information on &binvars which can be used to store binary data, such as data read by /sockread &binvar and written with /sockwrite file.exe -1 -1 &binvar

As for the .exe and non-test downloads you mention, I have a download script that you can learn from. If oyu would like a copy, please just pm me and I'll be glad to send it to you.

Thanks KingTomato, because right now I'm in the stage of devoloping a download script, but I cant seem to get spaces in the GET request to work, and parse the 404 errors!!!

The query string in a GET request shouldn't have spaces, they should be encoded to either %20 (hexidecimal value) or to a + sign.
