shadek Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 When I check a certain peer list in a torrent, I see the flag (I've chosen to resolve ip). Here's the thing; I don't know all the flags. Some are unkown to me, and I suppose most of us doesn't know the total 200 flags that exist. It would be neat if I held the mouse-cursor on the flag and it'd say xxx (the country's name), in case you don't know which country the flag belongs to.

hofshi Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 this would be great. Either that or a "country" column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 hovering on the image and displaying the country name as a tooltip is better.. takes no screenspace and works fine No other client will teach you how to type Greek letters.then u could add No other client will teach you which flag belongs to which country.

shadek Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Well, anyway, it would just be nice to have this feature, but if Firon thinks it's too much work or if he doesn't like the idea, then what the heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 To clear something up: Firon is not the developer/programmer/coder of µTorrent. Ludde is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 that would probably be one of the easiest things he has ever done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinlight Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Not a bad idea with the tooltip. Would be nice with a seperate column too so we can sort by country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 how about both? a column for whoever wants it, and a tooltip option as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadek Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 To clear something up: Firon is not the developer/programmer/coder of µTorrent. Ludde is.Oh, I apologize then. I'm quite new in this forum and the only person I saw with administrator powers was Firon. :-)Yeah, any implements of the above mentioned would rock!

Firon Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Yeah, I'm not the coder, but I do run some things and tell him about any requests/bugs/etc he needs to look into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 IF this is implemented, it should be on the low-priority list, there are currently other more urgent requests/features pending...just my 0.02¢. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Mm... Other than the tray icon and buttons, I've yet to see tooltips flying around in the application... so tooltips probably shouldn't be used (if this is added), since it breaks down the consistency. Columns would do just fine, and they can be disabled anyway (dAbReAkA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MietmaN Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Columns and 'sort by country' would be fine and educational Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punlman Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yes, I agree.I love the country flags that show up in the "Peers" list.... it's fun to see where this stuff is coming from, and where it's going to...However, I don't recognize about half of those flags... and if I can't make out the extension on the listed domain (i.e. ....co.uk or whatever), then I have no idea what country they are (without googling it or something).I would like to see a "Screen Tips" text on each one.... so that when my mouse hovers over the flag, it displays, "Ireland", or whatever country that flag represents...By the way...DO THE DEVELOPERS even READ this forum?

jivan Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I'm no developer but as a user this is the way I look at it, two ways to achieve tht :-1. Use bandwidth resources to know which country the flag is on 2. Have something local (some kinda databases) which resolves the thing on the fly. For the 1st they would have to see but for the 2nd I'm using something similar for the browser http://www.rleeden.no-ip.com/firefox/flagfox/ Mind u it does take quite a beating in the memory foot-print area but I'm prepared to give tht much memory space (know many people might not) but just my 2 paise/cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punlman Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Well, since uTorrent is ALREADY displaying an IMAGE of the flag... It seems like a trivial detail (to me, anyway) to add the TEXT name of the country... as a mouse-over screen-tip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriendlyGuy Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Version is now 1.7.2. Requested as far back as 2005. Still nothing. For the love of ______, give us country flag tooltips! PLEASE. No other client expects you to know all the world's flags :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 If everyone came to us and told us they requested a feature from [iNSERT DATE] and that [iNSERT CLIENT] does (or doesn't) do this, and expect those to be reasons for things to be implemented in µTorrent, then µTorrent wouldn't be so µ anymore now would it? It's no reason to get angry either, considering the fact that requests get outright rejected all the time; at least this one wasn't a flat-out "no."That said, I'm still mostly indifferent to this request, and am still of this opinion regarding tooltips.

FriendlyGuy Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I wasn't angry. I was frustrated, hence my polite tone. There's a difference.I believe a feature having been requested often, a long time ago, and being available in a competitor's program are all compelling reasons to implement it. If not, then the only thing that matters is the programmers' whim and if that were the case, there wouldn't be a Feature Request forum in the first place. I'm not a programmer, but I'm fairly sure adding tooltips wouldn't bloat µTorrent by a few megabytes or anything. I would still appreciate this feature, even though by now I'm nearly an expert when it comes to flags and ccTLDs All right, I think that about covers it. To summarize: a) I'm not angry, and Pretty please with sugar on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadiceberg Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Bump!I'm really eager to have this feature!How much KBs do you think it will bloat uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
