Something like an upload folder in MuWire?.
Posted: 17 Apr 2022 17:48
I would like to open up a public folder where others can upload files. The folder can be search by others, with a name, hash or whatever. The upload could can be placed at any point of the tree. This could get messy so there could something like a filter to see only wanted parts.
Like a root of a filesystem/folder or a topic tag. The content is filled by other users. It would apear with tree structure.
Could be the same as the updateable collection. But different, because you can't join a collection of others.
So
1. hash for the startfolder (with 1 files, maybe info)
2. hash for extensions of files/trees by users (collections)
Problemtatic is to place the collection/files at a point in the tree, i think.
At the moment this is somekind doable i think. If i share a folder with one file and put a hash into my comments of the info file in the folder (or maybe the folder has a seperate comment, than this), than others could search for this. They would see my folder with the info file. THere could be additional info what the purpose of the folder or topic is. Whats liked or noot (as usual).
This can't be moderated. Everybody could put the hash into his shared files and maybe even overload the search results.
To defend this, an additional hash or a new hash by the owner would than works against the flooding and so on.
The filestructure appearing would by 1 dim flat at the moment with some entries with folders 2 dim.
The free placing like a real filestructure seems difficult to do to me. Maybe something with hashes and pointers.
At the moment i would upload o folder with a info info file. This folder has a hash file which i publish.
Somebody search for it and search would show my folder and the tree structure of it.
He now wants to put something additional to my topic.
He put my topic/folder hash into his shared files/folder comments and share them.
Searching would will now show my folder and his folder and hopefully nothing else.
And don't know if this will work, because it is hard to test alone.
But i think it is possible.
But an option "Search in comments only" is needed.
Thanks
and how many bytes can be in the comment section? Would a jpeg fit or only ascii art? Code (nothing will be executed, i hope)? Is the comment only on my device or are others have a copy,too?
Just asking, ascii is for sure nice but previews are better as a seperate file.
At the moment the comment part is a little bit wild, like not knowing what to put into. Some standard info format is missing,
but this is up to the users, as many things are, including this topic.
For example if i put a long description of floating text into it, it has many trivial words in it. I don't want to search for that.
If there would be something like a tag for finer searches or excluding in it, this would be easier to provide enough inforation for easier searching.
