MC11.1 new 'Synchronize' system for Handhelds
« on: January 13, 2006, 10:18:09 am »

I find the new system of selecting synch lists in the options dialogue a counter-intuitive. I don't synch my player to the same lists all the time, and choosing the lists through 'Options' feels too permanent. Also, when you're trying different lists to synch to and have to keep going back and forward to and from 'Options' to see how much space is left or needs to be cleared, that little window where the playlists are displayed is tiny when you're browsing the playlist tree. This must be even worse for smaller-capacity players where disk-space is at a premium.

I'd like to see a generous dialogue dedicated to choosing synch lists, (like in 11.0, only resizable), and, if possible, a live update of the space requirements/usage as you go. What do you think?

Edit (15th Jan): A previous thread existed on this subject (d'oh!), which can be found here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=30684.0

Absolutely agreed.

Yep, totally agreed. I hated the playlist select dialog in the action window, it needs to be a *big* modal dialog with an updated free space count.

Could not agree more!

It has been discussed more than once, i.e. in this thread:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=30684.0

I do not think it is on the list for 11.1 though.

Oops!; I'm a late adopter of this 11.1, and didn't catch this thread  ::)
I've linked to that thread at the start of this one too.

Part of my point was that the friendliness of the synch system has gotten worse from 11.0 to 11.1 - the options dialogue window is even smaller than previously. A short-term, part-solution would be to put it back the way it was...

I never used the sync functionality in 11.0, so I do not experience the difference.

Still, I understand what you are saying.
