Yes, and I just confirmed it again. Disabled is the default. I suspect the intermediate version could have played a part in the behavior you are seeing.

Custom map files are not applicable to the Controller UI, so not a viable solution for this.

Doing this as a plugin is a good idea, and I'll explore that as a possibility. For the record though, this feature change should be a miniscule effect on the memory footprint.

I agree that it's not fully solved yet, but the goal for 7.3 was to achieve the simple case, which I think I've stated already in this thread. I also agree that for many the current behavior is not a problem (and, in fact, expected), which is why I set the default to disabled. cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas Logitech Developer: Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS/SqueezeboxController/SqueezeCenter Community Developer: Nokia770Skin http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ 'KHAAAN!'
