Small issue: If the filename of a picture contains umlauts (äöüß - I

The wiki can take pictures as attachments, so that can be used as a file

For 7.0 I believe it will work, but you will need to save the images
locally on your server and then use the plugin to select the images
from your local disk. (7.0.1 should avoid this as you can just put the
url of the images into the URL form on the settings page)

This brings up another question- is the WIKI going to be information ?
Or is the wiki going to also be a file library for what ever we feel
like? Because if it's going to include files, then there's no reason we

Mine took a while to appear despite restarting so it is possible it may
be the same for you. If not, hopefully somebody more technical than

Yeah, it's not under plugins. Tricky tricky!!
In SqueezeCenter's Settings Panel, you'll go to : Advanced
Then in the drop down (That by default has Formatting selected)
you'll choose Customize Controller
