Good, good..

Yes.. Currently the library can dock over the top of the playlist control.
Maybe if I added another splitter below the playlist and allowed it to dock
underneath it ? Otherwise, at some point I was going to add a playlist
manager tab to the library.. The manager would also act as a now playing
playlist display, so when the library docks, you'd just tab to the playlist.
I guess you want it all displayed all at the same time though ?

Yes.. I keep meaning to add this.. It keeps tracks of rescans as you say,
so should be quite a simple addition..

Moose's internal database doesnt use mysql, so when it scans the server's
database, it has to request all the information it requires and build
up it's own
store. This means the scan speed's really governed by mysql on the server.
Moose should rescan a super-fast server faster than a slow server.. Adjusting
some of the mysql memory defaults helps a bit too, but i dont want to get
involved in that one.. :-)

Well, if you fancy having a go at fixing SqueezeSlave so it
auto-reconnects ? ;-)
Actually, just fixing squeezeslave so the latest versions compile on windows
would be handy..

HTH,
