Hello everybody,

I have opened a subject on what the users don't like on freenet (on the 
usability pov), and for now, there are two answers :

- -The directory Freenet is not well ordered, configs, logs, libs and 
binary are in the same dir. A more clearer hierarchy would be a good thing.
- -Don't have persistent storage for the stuff like fms/frost keys.
- -Really persistant downloads. The user is connected with 
darknet+opennet, so there are often new peers who don't have the 
previously fetched chunks in their datastore, and you have to 
re-download the already downloaded chunks. An on-disk storage would be 
great.
- -The freenet.ini file could contain all parameters and have some 
comments, so we could edit it on headless machines.
- -DDA doesn't work on MacOS. (I'll ask the user to do a bug report).

- -Show the networkSizeEstimateSession even in the simple mode.
- -What is the "connectivity" page for ? (it seems to confuse a lot of 
user...) Is it usefull ?
- -In the "queue" page, we can insert a file, why can't we donwload a 
file too from this page, but only from the homepage ?
- -A tray icon which shows the current state of the node and some other 
infos.

That's all for now, if some other answer show up, I'll post them here.

I know that all those things aren't usefull, but some might be.

Regards,

Dieppe.

PS : both users are quite advanced users.
