As I explained, we use the DC++ API and this behavior cannot be changed. If you want to complain to the upstream DC++ team about why the DirectoryListing API requires a User object, then feel free to do so. Besides, I do not think it is absurd that an application should validate its input regardless of whether it's the filename or the file contents being validated. It is quite rational that since DC++ generates this file list that it should be able to read it in in the format that it was written.
Regarding the CID showing up instead of the username, that is a problem that should be relatively easy to fix.
As for the error message, I propose we rename it to "Invalid file list name" since this is what DC++ shows. Do these two latter changes sound reasonable to you?
