Ethan Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Sorry if this has been requested before. I honestly searched.It would be useful to see what available space each peer offers, and then see which is the smallest (weakest link so to speak).My case is that I'm never quite sure how much more I can transfer onto my android device as it's clearly the peer with the least amount of storage.Thanks for considering.

GreatMarko Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 It would need to be per share, rather than "per peer", though, otherwise what happens if you're sharing multiple folders located on different drives/partitions on a particular peer!?

ChrisH Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 It would also need some history function to show the last reported space even if the device is not connected right now.If I have to start / wake up BTSync manually on my phone so I can see the available space info in my desktop's BTSync, I can just look on the phone myself.

Ethan Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Both your replies escape me to be honest. I would just wish to see how much more space my phone can allocate for BTSync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I know, but asking for a feature that only works for your (pretty specific) use case is a bit short-sighted, don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Well I wouldn't have deemed to be totally useless for others. But if you say so … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I didn't say that. But the reason I am reading this forum at all is that I want to make sure requested features are thought through all the way before a developer acts on them. Development resources are limited, so let's make the best out of them. And in my opinion showing the free space on a device only if it is actively connected is not as useful as showing the last known value if the device is currently offline in BTSync (which phones tend be to save power). Why can't you take that the way it was meant - as an improvement of your idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
