after reading todays discussion in #xbmc, i'd like to add my voice to it as well... if i understand correctly, the main hurdle is the fact all skin settings get reset when a user receives the update and we feel this should, preferably, be avoided at all costs. furthermore, shouldn't there be any way to avoid it, we would only allow this to happen on major XBMC releases. well, in all fairness, i don't think we can expect major skin updates to coincide with XBMC releases. in a perfect word they would, but since we're all working on this in our spare time, things may not always line up the way we would like to. so what basically happens when a user receive the skin update? they get presented with a new and shiny interface, that's still very much recognizable as being Aeon Nox. the only things that's needed for the end-user is to reconfigure their personalized skin settings, if any. it's not like it we leave them with a broken skin or anything like that. so nothing life-threatening if you ask me and also no animals were harmed during the production of Aeon Nox 3. just some food for thought. cheers, ronie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
