looooooooooooooooooool, I can't beleive receiving this email when I was
thinking about answering
vivia' mail with "ok, you want a specific task, this is one thing I really want
and I would want
someone to be assigned to do it..." man, stop reading my mind please :p
anyways, this looks good, but the remember_me option is not necessary in the
xml, if you don't
want to remember the user, then why write it in the xml at all ?
also, the password and last_dp path ? is it necessary to have those in the xml?
or shouldn't we
just load the config.xml file of a user once you select his profile and that
should load the
last dp and password in config() ...
in the end, there's nothing more necessary in the xml, so we might as well keep
it as a
one-line-per-profile file...
anyways, I was going to do some proof of concept once I get home, let me put
those in writing
too :
same idea as WLM, login box editable, when profile selected, should switch
automatically, etc...
the remember me button, msg_box asking to confirm, if yes, another msg_box with
:
"You have :
10MB of conversation logs
250MB of webcam logs
100MB of cached display pictures
200KB of cached voice clips
Do you want to also purge your profile's settings and logs (they will be
definitly lost) ?
yes | no
"
how about that ? about the code, I think it will be doable without heavy
modification of the
current code (not including the new code) as the login screen/profile thingy is
small and not
too spaghetti with the rest of the code.
are you designing it or willing to code it ?
thanx
