Your argument is week given the system offers NOTHING otherwise to customize access to different the content for different users, like e.g. separate libraries (yes, there are 3rd party plugins that try to address that, but that's moot, plus they way they work is more of a hack than a solution). So the reason to single out presets to make them decentralized is not consistent with the rest of the architecture and what's more they changed and took away existing feature. -- unclemat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unclemat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33372 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79154 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
