supose there is a large set of functions if one wanted to test in a systematic way, supose it also goes with several rescans as some sort settings gives you a different database :-/ ? I could possibly run more versions as i have a desktop with 2 OS and one virtual machine on one of them and my server , I do work 500-600h overtime each year and live more in hotels than home so the time scale would be geological if I tests things :-/ If you ever tackle this systematically i suggest you enlist 6 volunteers (one for each version ) and have a test protocol . But the iPad device itself ? i never seen how you run beta versions on them , if you want some unsystematic beta testing done (which you say is inefficient unless your beta group is very big ,but anyway ) and is it possible to have a beta installed at the same time as the current version ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
