[[Usage aMule|Back to Index]]

== Description ==

Through this windows you can see the selected [[file]]'s details and you will be able to manage some of its settings.

http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_file1.jpg

== Usage ==

=== View details ===

==== General ====

The fields in the '''General''' box window are pretty intuitive:
*'''Full Name''': The name it will be given when it is completed (or it's name if it is completed already)
*'''met-File''': Path where the file's [[part.met file]] is located (or the same as '''Full name''' if completed)
*'''Hash''': The file's [[hash]]
*'''Filesize''': The file's total size once it is completed (or its current size if completed)
*'''Partfilestatus''': The file's status. I'ts values are described later
*'''Last seen complete''': Last time a source with the complete file was seen

http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_file2.jpg

The possible value for the '''Partfilestatus''' field and their meanings are:

{|
| '''''Status''''' || '''Description'''
|-
| ''Complete'' || The file has been successfully completed
|-
| ''Completing'' || The file has been aparently completed and is beign hashed to verify it this file
|-
| ''Downloading'' || The file is being currently downloaded to you
|-
| ''Waiting'' || The file is waiting for some client to uploaded to you
|-
| ''Paused'' || The file is paused
|-
| ''Stopped'' || The file is stopped
|-
| ''Insufficient Diskspace'' || There is not enough free disk space to download
|-
| ''Erroneous'' || Some error has ocurred when reading or creating this file
|}

==== Transfer ====

The '''Tranfser''' box shows statistics and details about the file's downloading overall process (note that when the file is completed, values may be turned to ''0''):
*'''Found Sources''': Amount of sources currently known for the file
*'''Transferring Sources''': Amount of sources currently uploading the file to you
*'''Filepart-Count''': Amount of [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What_is_a_chunk?|chunk]]s the file is devided into and, in brackets, the amount of chunk hashes known
*'''Available''': Amount of chunks of the file known to be available and the percentage this amount represents out of the total amount of chunks the file is composed of (in brackets)
*'''Datarate''': Speed in which the file is currently being uploaded to you. This field is more verbose than the speed reported in the [[Usage_Transfer|Transfer]] window, since it displays up to two decimals
*'''Transferred''': Amount of data you have recieved for this file. This includes corrupted data if any was ever recieved
*'''Completed''': Amount of data you have completed of the file ('''NOTE:''' This includes all data which hasn't yet been verified to be valid). The overall percentage this amount of data is to the file's total size is shown in brackets (again, this percentage is more accurate than the one that can be displayed in the Transfers window)

http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_file3.jpg

==== Intelligent Corruption Handling ====

This box displays the statistics about the corruption handling:
*'''Lost to corruption''': Amount of downloaded data which has been dropped because it has been known to be corrupted
*'''Packages saved by I.C.H.''': Amount of [[packet]]s saved from corrupt chunks thanks to the [[ICH]] function
*'''Gained by compression''': Amount of data which could be saved from downloading because of the protocol's compression capacities (Completed size - Transferred size)

http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_file4.jpg

==== File names ====

This is a list of known names other clients have given this file. The '''File Name''' column displays the file it has been given and the '''Source''' column displays how much sources have reported to have given it that file name.

http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_file5.jpg

This is a good place to see if a file is a [[fake]].

Not that not all sources report the filename they have given to the file.

Also note that this list is cleared when the file is completed.

=== Rename ===

From this window you can rename the file's name when it will be completed. Just enter the filename you wish it to have in the text box and click the '''Rename''' button.

http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_file6.jpg

You can easily change it with any of the filenames listed in the '''File Names''' list by clicking the filename you wish to adpot and then the '''Takeover''' button. This will write the filename in the text box. Now, as usual, click the '''Rename''' button.

http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_file7.jpg

If you wish to perform some cleanup to the filename i the text box, you can click the '''Cleanup''' button. Remember to click the '''Rename''' button to apply the filename change.

http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_file8.jpg

This is what the cleanup function exactly does (in this exact order):
*The extension is made lowecase and never touched again (the dot before the extension is also kept all along the cleanup process)
*Dots ("''.''"), low dashes ("''_''") and HTML space codes ("''%20''") are removed and replaced with single blank spaces ("'' ''")
*Any ''hYPNOTiC'' appearance in the file name is removed
*The filename is made lowercase
*The following strings are removed (notice that all, except the first one, will have been turned lowercase and the dots, low dashes, etc replacement performed):
**''www pornreactor com''
**''sharereactor''
**''found via www filedonkey com''
**''deviance''
**''adunanza''
**''-ftv''
**''flt''
**''[]''
**''()''
*Notice ''xdmnx'', ''pmp'' and ''dws'' are not removed anymore
*The following strings will be made uppercase (notice that the filename will have been turned lowercase):
**''cd''
**''vcd''
**''dvd''
**''iso''
**''pc''
*Make the first character of every word uppercase (if it is a lowercase letter)
*Remove duplicate spaces (squeeze into just one single space character)
*Remove dots ("''.''") after space characters
*If the last character is a space ("'' ''"), it removes it
*Replace ''By'' with ''by''

'''NOTE:''' Completed files cannot be renamed from here. They muts be renamed from the [[Usage_Shared_Files|Shared Files]] window.

=== Other ===

This window also provides an easy way to access the [[Usage_Comments|Comments]] window. Just click the '''Show all comments''' button.

http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_file9.jpg

This may be very handy for those users who have no access to the file's context emnu in the Transfers window (mainly some Mac users), since the File Details window is easily accessible from the Transfers windows through [[Shortcut]]s.

To close the window, just click the '''Close''' button. It wil not apply changes which have not been applied yet.
