Ahh.. Indeed, I'll look into this - not really tested non-layout mode much recently.. > 2.

Shouldn't the initial display look > like this (Resize to fit the display by default). Yes, it should really.. Again, my fault as i've been working on the layout mode recently, and the sizes are all the same there.. > 3. Use of Layout, Moving and Repopulate sometimes leaves the screen in a > strange state.

I'll probably do away with the repopulate at some point, but as you say the slider will now add, and the next page button does so also, so it's not really ideal.. > 5.

Generally it uses less so there arent any half-filled rows at the bottom. The same creation code is used in layout/non-layout mode, so you'll often get less than the maximum displayed there too.. > 6.

Erm.. But something's not right here - i'll look into this.. > 8. If I go back into Sort menu after (7), I get an exception: Oh dear.. Something's definitely not right here..

Yup, the whole thing's still work in progress really. I'm probably going to redesign the top section to do away with the menu at some point.. Should make it easier to use. > 11. Perhaps a page count would be nice next to previous/next options? Good point. Wanted to add a little popup scrollbar to it too.. All just a question of time.. Thanks for the comments and things - all handy and i'll try and sort them out and get a new version out shortly.. -- - Dr Lovegrove http://www.rusticrhino.com/drlovegrove http://groups.google.com/group/moosenews _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
