Beta process feedback
datdude:
I lke the idea, if someone is really getting into the beta (making lots of posts), then maybe you would allow them to have access to this board.
Alex B:
Hmm... Let's try to imagine what the new beta testers would see.
New things:
Otto, Noire skin (Mega & Theater), Skinned mini view, Tiny icons*, Small display in Action Window, DirectShow playback adjustments (Did I forget something?)
Changed things:
Tree, Tag Panel, Main Display
- these are mostly just changed (to better or worse), nothing actually new has been invented.
Internal changes that can make perceivable difference:
Supposedly faster, Several other small funtionality changes that are not instantly obvious (image file tag handling, search etc.)
What remains unchanged (- just for example, the wish list is in the main forum as we know):
File & tagging formats, servers, handhelds, audio playback, video playback (besides the DS filter changes), CD burning & labeler, image and media editors, internet radio & podcasts, file and tagging tools, TV & recording, ...
I would say that If the function palette is not going to change anymore then go on and release the beta to wider public. If any major changes are going to happen the changes should be tried out here first.

A good idea. However, that should be done discreetly (privately?) without making a lot of noise about the invitations.
This beta forum should be kept closed also because JRiver cannot allow everything to be discussed freely in the main forum. Here it's possible to make direct comparisons with other similar programs without harming MC's public image.
* Would it be possible to add the option for switching these tiny icons off? I really would like to instantly see if the audio files are imported and have a visual symbol for audio, video and image files in list views.
JimH:
Other new items:
Quicktime Video thumbnails
Video options (pause video and right click)
Animated buttons
Transparent menus
There is a list of features here:

We're trying to decide whether it's complete.
jgreen:
I think that the tiny icons for each displayed track need a name, in the way that Auto-Import has become "Otto". Therefore I propose that we call them "Alexicons" after Alex B's unstinting (thank you, Marko) support of the concept.
