Hi all

Hi Vinod. I assume you received my email, and after considering, you decided to work on the GUI dpi for downloads. (please confirm me that)

I am pretty new to Dillo and would like to work on the downloads file. [dpi] Please could anyone guide me on the present structure and what enhancement or modifications to be made ?

The overview of the current structure :

3 Structures - DownloadFile, DownloadStatus and DownloadWindow

Api's to start and free new download, update status, list and create log, get download size and time, add download to list and start and close download. Also, api's for read socket and print list are provided.

Can anyone tell me how to enhance this structure better ?

There're two problems with the GUI dpi as is: 1.- it doesn't work reliably 2.- it's too complex for the things it does So, the work basically is to play with it a bit to know what features are provided (the new one should provide the same), simplify the internal representation and algorithms (the GUI part, the part of the code that comes from the original dpi needs not to be touched), and finally debug and perform stress tests to achieve reliability. Cheers Jorge.-
