I prefer the one with the Warning combined with show/hide on the Screenshot tool, nicely done :)

Hello!

OK, Jerry, here goes...

rob@N4RPS-nc6320:~$ ping6 ipv6.google.com

Another thing about 'Show/Hide IP' is that people might consider this to be hiding their IP address from others. Of course, those who know a little bit about that know better, but someone fresh from XP might not...

Just a thought here but why not just show which interface(s) is/are active instead of ip addresses?

Actually, what might be worth considering in the future is a click to reveal type thing. There is a bit of css already to expand content. Damned if I remember what line tho lol. So that the element with the ip is only shown when clicked, and the status is default. How to do this escapes me atm, but worth doing in the todo list.
Wonderfull idea shaggytwo. Frontend will handle that with just a few lines of css. I'll add the button to Toogle the appearance of IP's. Also clicking the button will hide the screenshot icon while the IP's are shown. Two flies with one shot. :)
I might add some warning also. Just to be sure.

Here it is:

Clicking on the button displays IPs and hides the Screeenshot



I like this method, Not sure about the wording of the warning. I'd hit up Jerry on that, it's what hes good at lol. As for hiding the screenshot Icon, spot on idea. Two birds with one stone indeed. But come to think of it, it may be hard for some users to then use it to send in info for one reason or another.

I like the second way.  The one without the warning.

Let me know what you think which way is better.

Hello!

My IP doesn't show up in LCC or in the forums, but that could be because when I check my own IP address, it comes back as IPv6 - something that might warrant a look-see, or I might just have to use 'Use IPv4 addresses only' to connect...

The code being used to show the ip isn't taking ipv6 into consideration I think, needs to be looked into.


Also, I think the screenshots of control center with ip's are bad. Even more so with ipv6... it can contain some nasty hardware info. Which can ofc be used against folks. Maybe some kind of psa for users needs to be in place... show some caution with sharing ip's.
I'm with you on this. It's kinda risky to use screenshot + ip's. What we need is just a status. "Active" when connected and "Not Connected".
I just managed to fix all the issues with ip-adress information. :)
But maybe we should remove them for user safety.
If someone uses NAT in a Virtual machine this will print out the exact internet IP address of the computer. Not a good combination with screenshooter definitely.

Hello!

This new addition should really take LL to the next level. I imagine that when Jerry starts asking for translations of the Control Center text into different languages, multi-language support for Lite Control Center will be close to being implemented...

In thoery this shouldn't be to hard, most of the code parses everything in a somewhat modular way. But... ewww effort lol.
