Thanks for the update.  Is there any chance there will be an auto-updating feature added to MC 12?
This is pretty common these days and it would make my life much easier.

I am still waiting on directory monitoring as well, Picasa appears to do this very well with almost no load.
As I understand it, this is commented out in the code base.

Thanks!

Builds are not flagged for auto-update until they are fire-tested on Interact for a while.

What about a beta "channel" like the Firefox guys have?

Any thoughts on the monitored folder?  I have a program that converts my Tivo files for my IPOD.  I would love for them to be loaded into MC automatically.

Even more, for MC12 I would LOVE a continuous syncronization option so that my IPOD got syncronized automatically so all I would need to do is pick it up in the morning and it would have all my podcasts and Tivo video.

Thanks

MC 11 had auto-sync of devices.

MC 12 will have auto-import.

Ok..  let me play with that more.  There was a reason it was not working for me but I forget..

Sorry I posted in the wrong area, was not paying attention..

So no "beta" channel for updates?

Is there a roadmap for 12 by any chance?

If they told you that, they would have to.......

Ok I was able to play with MC last night.  It does have a "Sync on Connect" but it does not have an option that I can find for continuous sync.  Is it hidden somewhere or is it something that may be possible for 12?

The update channel is no big deal, just thinking it would make my life a little easier as I ususally run the betas.

Thanks!
