Everyone else seems to agree, except for you. SBS already does much more than all other apps; it's very configurable, supports many types of artwork tagging. There's no need for more complicated rules that will add to the source code and slow down the processing, and solve your specific request, for which no-one else in this thread has thought that there's a problem to fix. There's wasn't really even a problem before alphabetical choice. People just accept that it; there's hardly any demand for a change in this area. I think it could be argued that choosing no artwork is better, such that the user can see which ones are not specifically defined properly and know at a glance what missing artwork needs fixing. >you have no proof that going by resolution or filesize is any slower or >more complex than going by alphabetical. > A proof would be easy to to produce, but honestly why bother. It's obvious that having to do something (and support and test on all operating systems), is going to be faster than information that it already has available. Please don't bother to reply any more - I think this is done. If you feel that there's hundreds of people that would benefit, then file an enhancement request. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
