Download Hide Online For Pc

Hi there. Thanks I'd already done that. What I mean is ALL of the files are still visible in my finder, though the online-only are indicated with the little gray icon. I'd like to ONLY be able to see Offline files, if possible. Is that a possibility?

Hi allandbyallo - I think this might be what you need....
Go to the Dropbox icon in the menu bar at the top of your screen, then click to your profile pic.
Scroll down to Preferences
Go across to Sync
Down to Selective Sync
Click Select Folders
Uncheck the ones you don't want to see in your finder window
You should be only able to see your Offline files then.
Is there a way to hide my online status (the blinking sound waves)? I'm sure there is a way because I noticed some players our on line but have no blinking icon? I've tried search boxes but I haven't found anything yet.
thanks for the links 'artfizz', very interesting reading. looking at the dates of the threads though, it seems obvious that the option is never going to be available on this site, which is a shame but nothing can be done about it.
Thank you to all of you who took the time to answer my question. I think management should consider this option. Other players will just have to understand that just because someone is on line, it doesn't necessarily mean they are available to play chess.
My 'friends' in this game are my actual friends in the world. Sometimes I just want to play by myself without having to tell them, " I want to play tonight, but not with you..." Especially since one of them is almost always online...
Or you could just do as you said, tell them you don't feel like playing with anyone, and go along your merry way. There's no reason for someone to be upset by such a response unless they lack maturity, to which it's better to tell them to grow up than to just avoid the issue.
In the previous version of the Viewer, it was a lot obvious, it could be done directly of the 'Friends' tab, just a click. And now, when I got the Viewer 2, it was apparently moved to another where. I look, but I didn't find that option to hide my online status from a specific friend. What I was thinking is that they have removed this option from the version 2; for being something so basic it should be obvious for me. I also looks on the tutorials of this new version and they dont't say nothing about it. So...
It's still there. Go to the People tab and select My Friends. Right click on the friend you wish and choose View Profile (or you can also highlight that friend and click the arrow on the right which will also take you to their profile). Now click on the Notes & Privacy tab. There you will find the choices to See my online status, See me on the map and Edit, delete or take my objects.
I'm not that familiar with version 2 but you should be aware thta it is not that simple to hide your online status - simply unchecking that box next to your friends' names is not enough to hide your status. Here is why... if your friends belong to the same group as you they will be able to see you online in the group info and also they will see the last time you were logged on. You can buy huds that will tell you who is online regardless of what they checked in their friends list. And finally if your friends use the Emerald viewer (and probably some other viewers) they can not only see who is online but who has decided to "uncheck" them - this needless to say, can lead to hurt feelings and worse. Its a good idea to either be honest with friends if you are busy - or create an alt if you need true privacy.
wouldn't it be nice if they could modify the contact lists to allow us to just leave a short message or even an icon next to our names that says "i am busy leave me alone" as opposed to setting yourself to busy which no one knows until they actually try to im you ? that way you can be more selective in who you place on offline. for those who bother you with something important ? ok thats fine but those who bother you with some asinine question or comment knowing you asked to be left alone ? well they are not really friends then are they ?
I enjoy talking to my friends. But I also want a Cone of Silence -- a working version of the flawed "friend-uncheck" system we have now. With the advent of Emerald, the "uncheck" option is untenable now; I have had to stop using it because people take offense at it. Also, I get IMs from groups and from strangers not on my friends list; usually I'm happy to get them, but sometimes I want to be left alone. Often I just want to work in peace, and I need my "main" to do so, not an alt. (It is my main who has the rights to edit my vendors, modify my wares, etc.) Optimally, the Cone of Silence would store IMs and items the same way that those things are stored when I'm offline, and send the IMer the standard note that the IM/item will be presented to me later. If I had my druthers, I'd also have the ability to carve out exceptions to my Cone of Silence, so that I could trade IMs with a couple people without being distracted by others.
Yes, it will. As others have said, your on-line status is public information. It cannot be hidden completely. There is no legal way to track where you are in SL, but it is not a TOS violation to tell whether you are logged in, and finding out is quite easy.
Turning off the "online status" for friend list I can understand - in the respect that it turns off the notifications for *that* person (which is a B.S. reason, I believe) - or you can turn off notifications in settings. The one that really makes me laugh is "hide my online status" from everyone. It's so funny: profile-surfing and their profile say "offline" as I stare directly at them. It gives me the impression that they are Ostriching it (sticking their head into a hole in the ground so no one can see them).
No not everything is possible, YOU can not hide from the system, the system is setup so scripts and delivery agents and vendors and all kinds of things can get the information, you simply can not hide from it. Hiding from them by unchecking them sure, but if you share a group or they have a device, they can find out the truth. There is no hiding that's as plain and simple as the truth as we can make it for you.
I don't mind helping people out and doing so has gotten me some friends. However, it has gotten to the point where when ever I come on, they want to group with me or randomly talk with me. I'm all for this, but sometimes I just want to play by myself and not have to deal with anyone else.
My suggestion is to just tell them that sometimes you want to play alone and won't be responding. I haven't tried to set a specific afk message (like you can in WoW) but if you can, set that. If they're genuine friends, they won't mind leaving you alone.
Where on earth did he say he "can't deal with people" in his post. It was very reasonable, maturely written and intelligent (all three of which are lacking in yours). Perhaps take a breath and realize its not always "you vs. the internet" when you post here.
He came onto the forums and stated that he was being pestered by people that wanted his time in game. Being an adult I would tell these people I am busy or such. Since he came to the forums asking everyone for advice on how to deal with it, I did.
As far as maturely written I would disagree. He came here looking for a way to make an excuse to virtual people. Telling him to grow a pair is what he needed to hear in my opinion. What was your advice to him?
He doesn't mind helping people but sometimes wants to play alone. He likes to socialize but sometimes would like a solo experience. He wants to keep them as friends so clearly a kind response is desired. He's not sure if there's an option to hide his status so he asks in non-offensive matter.
You, on the other hand, enter the thread like a bull in a china shop and all you can see is red. I understand that most of the threads here are like warfare and you have your guns loaded, safeties off, but not every single thread is like that. If you're in that mode and just replying willy nilly to every thread you see, its not healthy. Perhaps stay out of threads asking an honest question in a mature fashion. Perhaps take a breather between replies.
Well excuse me for wanting to know if a game feature existed or not. I didn't have to tell you my reasons but I did anyway so that we could get right to the point of the discussion. If I just said "Is there a hide online status feature?", I'd bet you all of my credits that each response would be "Just ignore them."
I don't want to ignore them and I don't want to tell them to go away. I have no problems telling people I don't like to stop bugging me, but I have my reasons to not want to do it with these people. That is why I asked if this was a feature.
