yet, I can certainly see that it would be very hard to write a plugin that would simply merge into the server in a ways that would be nice to see as an integrated solution. Imagine a button on the settings pages that simply says "set as default". Then any new player uses those settings as default. Maybe another pulldown that selects a player but has the "apply to player x" as options. Then again, it's a simple ui for a global copy of prefs from one player to another. One page, two pulldowns and maybe an output section showing the raw prefs for the chosen source and destination client. -k _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
