Great feedback, thanks a lot! > 1. Player Settings has been merged with Server Settings to become > "SqueezeCenter Settings". I can see that it's nice to put them > together, but in that case, they should be called "Settings", not

There is a link on Basic Settings tab to view previous scan details, We'll very likely remove this and replace it with progress information about the scan on the status page. > 5.

Hmm... Can't see this any more. I remember having seen this issue, but I thought I've addressed it. Can you refresh your browser, flush the cache... (you know the procedure). If you still see it, what browser are you using? Can you reproduce it in an other browser, too? > 6. I don't like the tooltips much with the close button top-right. We've been playing with this. The problem is that some of the tooltips are rather large. A timer only controlled trigger doesn't work as they're always too long or short. Moving out doesn't work in all cases neither, as there are tips with link in them - if you want to click them the tooltip will disappear. Maybe we should still try to trigger after a few seconds, or have them closed when clicking outside? > 7. iTunes tab - why is it here, and not just accessed as a plugin via > Extras or Advanced? > 8. Same with Podcasts tab - that's a plugin too, and therefore should be done > 9. Some of the tabs still have a lot of options. I quite like the > breakdown of groups on some tabs, eg.

The settings pages are a lot of work to maintain, we'd therefore like to keep them all the same. But Brian is working on the grouping. There might be more changes to come. > 10. Extras tab includes built-in plugins and third-party plugins. They > seem to be sorted alphabetically in two groups You're one of the lucky English speaking guys: in any other language they're still in the same order, which isn't always alphabetically in that other language :-). I've added alphabetical sorting in the user's language. > 12. The plugin settings seem to be sub-tabs off the Advanced tab, but > can also be accessed from the Extras menu.

Suggest they are only > accessed from Extras tab, as it's hard to find some of the Advanced > settings amongst the plugin settings sub-tabs. I do agree that it can be confusing. But I'd rather remove them from the Extras tab, as player specific plugins don't belong there. > 13.

I hope to reduce the number of full page loads and make the overall experience more dynamic, soon. As for now it's just due to the backwards compatibility with the other skins: they're all using the same templates. Thus there's some room for improvement left. > 15. Advanced->Formatting. This doesn't seem a sensible place for the > settings. Most of these settings, like date and time formatting, are > either Basic Settings or Interface tab settings. Guess Tags formats > could be moved to My Music->Tagging (see comment 9). I think this could indeed be improved. Some of the items in Interface are imho much more advanced than most of Advanced->Formatting. Brian? > 16.
