Hello,

I've moved to MC9 from MJ8 recently especially to have  acces to image (I've loaded 6000 photos from Ulead PI album).
Overall the application is ok except a few bugs and design issues listed below.
Best Regards,

PhDSM

MediaCenter 9.0 Feedback

Bug:
1/ Support of Automation Interface :
   No write access to Custom1/2/3, AlbumArtist, FileName
2/   Irregular access to FileName (Works with 1 on 10)
   
3/  Visualization Studio
   No more access to Custom1/2/3
   
4/ In Win2000 I cannot acces the Burn function if I'm not logged as administrator  

Bug or design ?
1/ Year is not initialized to 0 instead of space

2/ When updating tag in a file which is read only, the file is untouched and there  is an error message  which is a normal behavior.
With Image file, itis different, the read-only file is copied and the original  is modified which means the readonly file has been modified !

Design:
 When listen to music if you want to show image, the music stop because Image and Music
 share the same playlist.
 
 A big improvement would be to separate "now" list for Image(show) and Music(play).
   > we will have 2 lists:  Playing Now for sound and Showing Now for image
 
 When right click on element, enable Show and/or Play depending on the media type
 When  right click on an album or other grouping
   if Play is presses all sound/video items are moved to PlayNow,
   if Show is pressed all Image or Video are moved to ShowNow.
 
 In such case, as we can have concurrently 2 files "processed" (i.e. one MP3 and a JPG),
 it is important for visualization/track info to have access to field of both files

 Also to improve image shows, it would be good to have transition mode as
 a possible field in the image tags
 
 For slideshow have the option:
    when 2 consecutive images are "Portrait", show them side by side altogether
   
Other nice improvement in the browser  
 Create  Dynamic View scheme:
   > i.e.  in the View editor  add a "Dynamic" Check box
   > then when you click on the the scheme it doens't open, but let you choose      dynamicaly the next level of detail (from the list defined in view scheme)
    So this way you can change the order without needing to define multiple schemes
