>>> Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I feel it's all going crazy right now and I'm very frustrated at the number of important issues like stability and speed that are being pushed to one side in order to give the developers more fun features to play with. <<<
I also agree.
I just wish JRiver would fix the obvious known bugs before going on to an entirely new interface (with more bugs).
Gesh... I sometimes think they are getting as bad as the big M (Microsoft) at releasing new buggy versions.
Case in point... the basic TV controls that are supposed to pop up with the Ctrl+Shift+Tab keys have NEVER worked correctly since day one. They totally loose focus when the TV is full screen. They will work one time then loose focus. Matt told me that was going to be fixed in the next couple of versions... that was about 30 versions back & they still do not work. In fact, they seem to be a little more messed up on the current 9.1 versions. I have complained about this on several occasions to no end... it has NEVER been fixed. That makes me rather mad.
It reminds me of the old days of the American car industry, rather then fixing old known problems, they would simply come out with a NEW model... with NEW problems of there own. Somehow, that was supposed to fix everything... but it never did.
I for one am so sick of this rat race. Microsoft is the worst offender at this. Somehow they always get us to buy the NEW version in hopes of it working correctly (which it never does as it always has a whole new set of it's own problems).
Doesn't anyone get it? Hey guys, we don't want new features... we want a program that works reliably. After you accomplish that then lets talk about new features.
