I'm not aware of any technical reason this couldn't be done in a plugin. As for whether the plugin is Official or Third Party, well, I don't much care. I don't think Logitech will adopt this as an Official plugin or set of features unless they perceive a high demand -- after all, including this with the official release means they'd need to invest $$$ testing and supporting it. New hardware causing trouble? I think you're getting a little pessimistic, even by your standards. ;-) -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver FuzzyTime PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47366 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
