[Bug 417960] Re: Show preferences dialog on initial start-up

 

there is no such directory on my system as /tmp/.dc++/ though I did just
restart.  When I moved ~/.dc++/ to ~/.dc++_backup and started LinuxDCPP
there was another, new ~/.dc++ created.  I already deleted this file
though and moved back the original.

I did try installation on another computer (from the same PPA) with an
Ubuntu 10.04 x86 installation and the same problem occured.  I do not
have access to that computer any longer unfortunately.

Status in Linux DC++: Confirmed

Bug description:
The first time the program is started, it should open the preferences dialog to indicate to the user that some information is required before using the program. This information should include nickname, encoding, and anything else I'm missing (suggestions?).

In addition, it should not allow the preferences dialog to be closed unless the aforementioned values are entered. As a special case, if the user selects UTF-8 as their encoding (directly or indirectly by "System default"), display a warning dialog with a don't show me again option indicating that UTF-8 doesn't work right for most NMDC hubs and recommending they choose a different encoding.
