Rewrite This

Such animosity. My you certainly are over protective of FlashFXP aren't you? I like the application, also, but it's a bit annoying when freeware programs like the FileZilla client support SSH2, as well as many other protocols, and FlashFXP doesn't. Yes, FlashFXP is a better application overall, but it's competitors are just passing it by. Do you think they re-wrote their application?

no, i'm going to hug and kiss you when you start threads titled "rewrite this" and then ask for refund just becuase flashfxp's development speed doesn't suit your needs, with the whole tone of your post trying to be offencive.

yes they do. many popular open source projects undergo major restructions/rewrites every so often.

Just a few things to take into concideration...

- Open source projects often have much more developers, allowing one person to work on one thing as another works on something else, or in the case or things like rewrites all work together, this means that developement has the potential to progress much quicker.
- Many of these other clients with support for what you are asking are quite young in comparison, and chances are the developement was started with such future features and multithreading in mind, in order to avoid the need for massive rewrites later on.
- Some of them also have much larger developement teams making such a task much less time consuming, flashfxp does not have this luxury.
- Adding support for new protocol's requires a significant amount of time to research the protocol standards, understand exactly how it works and to plan it's integration before developement can even be started.

I also look forward to an optional tabbed interface, ssh/2 and scriptability amung other things. But at the same time i understand it will not be an overnight progression.

You know what I think? I think they're busy "rewriting" FlashXP Professional and putting all of the features in there. And yes, FlashFXP users will be screwed unless we "upgrade" to the Professional version.

no, this is not what is happening and stop throwing such accusations.
if you'd spend 5 mintues reading this forum you'd see that bigstar is busy working on multi-language version.
1st you post pretty rude msg, then you say you like flashfxp, now you post accusations

this is going nowhere, so i'm closing this thread.
