lee269,
I agree with you for the most part. However, I get the distinct feeling that no one at J River is making notes of our suggestions/wishes. It seems like either they take an idea and run with it immediately, or they don't, in which case it gets forgotten. Understandable I guess, but it seems like if they had some sort of 'master idea list', more things might get implemented. I could certainly be wrong, but it sure seems like if an idea does not get repeated, it may never get implemented.
For example, I pondered the reason that lists took so long to scroll a couple months ago. Seems like several people also wanted to see this improved, yet nothing happened. Then last week, I commented again, and Matt had it fixed (mostly, still needs to be tweaked, I think) in the next build! Now don't get me wrong, I couldn't be more happy that it's fixed/better, but I don't think it got done because it was the next item on J River's continually updated internal list of things to do, it got done because at the moment it was suggested, Matt had the time/energy/permission to fix it. I would bet that if I didn't mention it again, nothing would have happened. Again, not a complaint, just an observation.
Maybe a sticky thread is not the best way, but it seems like there should be a way to keep all of everyone's good ideas in front of the J River team. Even though they are always amended by others suggestions, as you point out. It would still be nice to know what's being considered, planned, etc.
Oh well, it's a beautiful day here, and I'm gonna go enjoy it. I suggest you all do the same.
