I'm really not opposed to this functionality, and it would seem that this is something the developers *could* choose to allow. I guess what I take issue with is the assumption that you "should" be allowed to do this. I think shows a misunderstanding of the purpose of the DB. The DB exists for the purposes of the application. The application was designed to use tags as its data source so it is in the interests of the application to modify the database however it sees fit to best serve this purpose. Your suggestion fundamentally changes the design of the application. Depending on what functionality is built into slimserver that relies on being able to modify the DB, it might not be so simple to simply lock it down. So rather than posing the suggestion as something that Slimserver "does wrong", or "should do", perhaps pose this as a feature request. And understand if other people would rather have the Slim team working on other problems/features of the software. Seems to me that you wouldn't be upset about this if SlimServer weren't already such an open and flexible piece of software. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24093 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
