The idea isn't broken, and it may well be how this "problem" gets solved in the end. However, it adds a layer of complexity to the process and we're already being dinged for being too hard for the average user. What we need is the most sensible default rules (which I think we may already have, Mr. Sinatra's opinions/issues notwithstanding), and a reasonable method for changing those. I would really like to avoid moving these types of settings to the SC interface, because they would require a rescan; much better to do them upfront, if possible. I'd love to see what you're working on, and would encourage you to contribute it to the code base here. There are some pretty amazing programmers (both here and in our community) that you would be able to work with on the framework and on the code. My team and I would be happy to provide input, as well, at least from a product marketing/customer-centric viewpoint. -=> Jim -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46093 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
