Recently active ideas in Wuala tagged with linux

instead of immediately backgrounding, have the client background after initial messages.
Similar for later "controlling" wuala instances, don't exit or background until the command completes (or fails) or all output has been sent (in case of logins if that is handled as a non-terminating command)

Linux version should notice that the arguments are commands and ALWAYS try to connect to previous instance. If no such instance exists it should give an error such as "Wuala is not currently running."

The current behavior is to try to start another instance. This causes problems if you are using nogui and nomount and basepath to start wuala, If wuala isn't running it tries to start and fails.

Hallo,
Ich weiß, dass das schon einmal angesprochen wurde. Dennoch möchte ich die Entwickler noch einmal darauf aufmerksam machen, dass ich mir eine Trennung von GUI und Core wünsche. Wie der Core auf dem Server gestartet wird, wäre mir garnicht einmal so wichtig (Daemon oder Screen), momentan mache ich das mit Screen. Mir fehlt nur einfach eine Option in Wuala, die es einem ermöglicht, sich zu einem auf einem anderen System laufenden Core zu verbinden.
Hoffentlich wird das in einer der nächsten Version eingebaut!
Viele Grüße

The nicest thing about wuala for me, apart from file availability and encryption, is the network drive option for Windows computers. This is because it is transparent to the user and requires no additional steps to work with files, you simply manipulate the files as if they were on a local drive. In a business environment this would be great because the user needs no additional training to use the program.

What I would like to see is a version of the client for mobile business users with the following features:
-Disable 'world' access so that business documents cannot be shared with the outside world
-Enhanced sharing permissions and access control
-Better Windows x64 network drive integration and Linux FUSE support
-Sync to local 'master copy' of files, on company intranet server.

I think businesses would gladly pay for such a version because of small infrastructure & training costs.

This somewhat ties into my earlier point about a Developer API, but its such a mainstream need/use it really could do as part of the application proper. Obviously a primary use of Wuala is backing up personal files, however, given how often personal data changes (and that while Wuala may indeed be super-awesome, most files perform better on a local disk rather than the integrated filesystem. Of course, if Wuala were to make its mounted fs bi-directional, users could take advantage of existing sync frameworks like Conduit or HUBackup.

Use Sun HotSpot JVM, not GIJ ...

GIJ 4.2 and 4.3 hangs at the login screen or displays an error.

Note that versions can be checked easily with java -version.
Gentoo: java-config
Debian and Ubuntu: update-alternatives --config java

Running with GIJ yields the following error:
XML error

Something i really want is a command showStatus for the linux cmd client. I cannot tell if my connectivity is yellow or green when in the cmd client and I've been watching my uptime go down yet the connectivityCheck said everything was peachy.
