Puh, that'S a lot of questions out here. On Features, see the comments at the end of the post.

So it will take at least until 7.3.1 and another iPeng update to fix this http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10180 > > That being said I would still like to see an Album sort method as a > setting feature when I tap Album:) > ... > The reason I would want to is to keep it consistent with the Duet > Controller.

In my case it is clear > that the more it is in line with the duet controller the happier I am My philosophy (stated!) is to be as close to the iPhone UI. Which means: don't have too many pickers and things where it can be avoided. twynne;365362 Wrote: > This might have been requested/suggested, but it would be nice if there > were a progress bar somewhere (an 'Info' screen maybe) that shows the > current status of the library download.

It's not a big thing to do, just another view controller to fill up the UI... ch1525;365449 Wrote: > Oh yes, I've been clamoring for that one, too! :-) OK... ianr;365454 Wrote: > > Just wondering however; am I the only one who misses the 'classic' > interface? > I find this 'apple-ized' interface less intuitive than the original. > Maybe it just needs to settle in... > Hopefully, since this is unlikely to change soon :-) Regarding features/functions (I didn't answer in detail above): - iPeng in the future will support all plugins that are supported on the Controller and do NOT requite LUA (which would violate Apple's T&C) plus likely some others, most notably it will also have the "NowPlaying centric" plugin feature of the skin. That's with a 1.1 release, I don't yet have a due date for that - Short term, I do have an 1.0.3 update that we are currently trying to get out to Apple (having some trouble with the Code Signing on the 2.2 SDK - we are obviously not alone on this, Apple's dev forum is full of it). This Upgrade will focus on the bugs reported so far (Artwork rescaling, wrong sort orders, some crash scenarios) plus: - Performance improvement for large libraries (sorting in background thread) - Browse Music Folder - experimental WOL (you have to add the MAC manually) Regarding requests to show additional information in the existing menus. I will check this, but this is always about balancing different aspects: How cluttered do I want my UI? How fast do I want the app to be? Especially importing additional artists can have a huge impact on performance so I don't promise anything here, my current favorite is to offer a "details" page that would show all this. Playing Times and years may be less of an issue (years are not), ao I'll check for that. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
