I'm assuming what awy is talking about is only having the approach the CLI is using available. The drawback of this - as it's currently implemented - is, thatvyou need to load the full list of items to jump to a specific letter. It's also error prone in that sometimes there are sorting issues that mix in first letters in the wrong place but I believe this affects the current Web UI implementation, too, albeit only within one of the "pages".
So it's probably only about the web UI. However, I seriously doubt users will accept losing alphabet bar functionality in the web UI. I have users that use SBS with libraries of up to 40,000 albums, by not giving them an alphabet bar you will render the browse options in the web UI completely useless for this type of users. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85895 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
