MultiDC++

Hey,

Got some pretty good news today! The new search interface is finally done (except for a few bugs and code cleaning)!!!

Here’s a preview:

(Click for bigger picture. Note; that ‘Video’ is selected at the same time as  ’Any’ is just because I accidentally had the cursor on that choice when I took the screenshot :-()

That’s pretty much the final design of the interface. And it comes loaded with quite some features, compared to other parts of MultiDC++ at least.

The filter & sort function is fully functional, though there is a bug when you try to sort something that is filtered, but that will be fixed later.

I will add filtering for hubs later on. I don’t have that on a really high priority since it can be done with the filter textfield.

So, why did I go through all this trouble just for the new interface you might think? It’s simple, first, I wanted to learn! The reason I started this project in the beginning was for me to learn how to use Cocoa and Objective-C. And with this I’ve come quite a bit further on to use it nicely. Secondly, I think this is a much better way to handle the search results, so I just had to do it

With this I’ve also learned how to handle sorting and filtering, so it will be added to all parts of MultiDC++ as of beta 1. This release will be Alpha 4, and will be released later tomorrow.

Hope you all like the new interface, and be sure to go on a big bug-hunt when you try it out!

Cheers!
