Hm, I see the idea now. Sorry for being ignorant. It works fine.

Still, it is not visible in the _list_, only when you go to
the specific file. So you can't sort on comments for instance.

And the fact that you can add any comment is interesting,
but that flexibility makes it harder to use in most common
cases. Too flexible :) -- for instance one will have to
remember to always use "Downloaded" and not "dl'ed" or "got
it" or "have it", right?

I think comments might be a very powerful feature if made
transferrable. For instance the original source of a file
can post a comment like "going to remove in three days" or
something, but for individual use just simple _fixed_
statuses will serve their purpose better.

Just my 2 cents. I love mldonkey, works just great!

Of course, we are working on it.

Currently:

In 1.14, you can add a comment to a file MD4. It is stored 
in the "comments.met" file. Use the command

comment  md4_of_file  "comment"

in the console. You can also use the right click menu in the 
GUI for that. Comments are displayed in the search results 
in the web interface. In the GUI, they appear on the left 
when selecting a file.

In (future) 1.15, a comment "Downloaded" is automatically 
added in the search results on the WEB interface when a 
file has already been downloaded.

Of course, we need more. Probably, an option should be 
added to allow users to say "don't display downloaded 
files" , and another "black list this file", that could even be 
propagated on WEB sites.
