Hybrid Share is a User Friendly Application for Linux, Mac and Windows users, that allow you to Share file (and Talk) instantly with your friends...

What is Hybrid Share ?

Hybrid Share is a simple (User Friendly) Mono C#/Gtk# Application that allow Mac, Windows and Linux Users To Share Files. The Application is extensible via Plugins, so you can Talk with connected people, check your mailbox or other things that plugins could do.

What do you use if you have to share files with your friends ?

E-Mail or Instant Messaging are the first possible solution, but the E-Mail Size block and the slowing of the IM make this channels bad to share files. The NFS (Network File System) or other system like this, works only between similar system or are a little bit difficoult to configure, the same for ftp server.

So The Solution is Hybrid Share that is Portable and Easy to Use, It isnt the Best Application in The World, but it does a useful work.

What is the Difference with a Normal P2P ?

Hybrid Share has a core of P2P but is more like a traditional IM (Instant Messenger), like GTalk, MSN, Gaim, Adium and so on.... No Network Configuration is needed, Youve only to add your "buddies" (like an IM) and Drag File Into their folders...

Shared Mime Library is my implementation for libsharedmime. It reads the Shared Mime Info database and returns you the MIME-TYPE of a file. Freedesktop make this database freely available, but they dont seem to be distributing a library to read it anymore (Its no where in their CVS that I can find).
It is different to the freedesktop version in the following ways:
- Licensed under LGPL instead of the GPL at aid all developers. *sigh*
- Has NO dependencies. Which is an important feature in this world of tangled packages all depending on each other.
- Probably not as fast?
- Not as complete (yet)?
To install the package firstly you need the Shared Mime data files. Which you can get from here. Then download and unpack libsharedmime and:
% make
# make install
Enhancements:
- Added code to check for a text file if the content lookup fails, if it matches it gets a text/plain type.
- Stopped the content lookup being performed on directories.
- Fixed a bug in the magic matching code that caused valid matches to fail. This means that some files will now return the correct mime type as opposed to a default "not found" type.
