Hi Michael

Thanks for continuing to work on this... as requested, here is some
feedback. Using slimserver 6.2.2 on WinXP, with an HP iPaq WM2003SE.

- first experience was very bad - as soon as I started up slimremote,
slimserver crashed, only way to recover was to reboot my system!  Now,
I've been round a few times since then and not been able to reproduce
this, so it may just have been some random coincidental glitch, but I
guess we need to watch out for others suffering the same problem.

- I can see several improvements, thank you. Better tab images, the
playlist page seems to work without falling over, the status page comes
up without unnecessary horizontal scroll bars.

- there is still an issue with the number of artists in "browse
artists" (I guess this is a CLI issue rather than yours)... I'm getting
the full list, not the short list that Various Artists behaviour gives
me on web interface and remote.

- there is an issue with handling very long track and album names which
I guess had always been there but which I don't think has been commented
on.  I use very long names for classical pieces (for example right now I
am listening to "Beethoven Piano Sonata 23 in F Minor, 'Appassionata',
Op 57 - 1 - Allegro assai" from "Beethoven Piano Sonata 23 in F Minor,
'Appassionata', Op 57 - Ashkenazy"). 

So, first off, I'd like horizontal scroll bars available on the
playlist and browse windows so I can scroll to see the full track
titles or album names.

Second, I'm losing a lot on the status window,  The track title appears
on two lines, both of which are truncated, so I'm missing a bit in the
middle and a bit off the end. The album name only has the first line
visible - the second name is covered up by the progress bar. [Add: just
moved on the next track which is even longer: now the track title is on
three lines, the first two of which are truncated, and I can't see the
album name at all]

This is WITHOUT selecting large fonts on the settings window - if I do
that it gets worse...

Might a fix (allowing for the many different window sizes people will
be using) be to allow users to adjust the amount of status screen used
for album art vs titles?

Thanks again,

Ceejay
