dlFilter's global options allow you to:

options-channels

Enable dlFilter

This option enables / disables the event handling functionality that is the core of dlFilter. When you disable dlFilter, the only functionality left enabled is to respond to VERSION requests.

Show/Hide Filter windows

The core functionality of dlFilter is to analyse every message sent to you and decide how to handle it. Messages that it decided should be hidden from you are sent to a Filter window instead of being displayed in a channel, query or status window.

Filter windows can be in one of 3 states:

  • Closed - the Filter window(s) do not exist and filtered lines are discarded
  • Hidden - the Filter window(s) exist and filtered lines are sent to them, but they do not appear in the switchbar or treebar
  • Visible - as Hidden but the Filter window(s) appear in mIRC's switchbar and treebar

Cick the Show/Hide Filter Windows button to switch between Visible and Hidden/Closed states. The choice between Closed and Hidden is made using the "Keep Filter Windows active in the background" option described later.

Show/Hide Ads windows

When you are in a file sharing channel the various server bots regularly advertise themselves including an @ trigger which you can use to request a list of all the files that they are sharing. The Ads window(s) maintain a list of all these adverts for your reference whenever you need to view them.

Ads windows can be in one of 2 states:

  • Hidden - the Ads window(s) do not appear in the switchbar or treebar
  • Visible - the Ads window(s) appear in mIRC's switchbar and treebar

Click the Show/Hide Ads Windows button to switch between Visible and Hidden states.
