InstaButtons

[JNS02]

In previous versions of Hoster I could completely remove an InstaButton by erasing all info on the insta button setup screen if I wasn't going to use it anymore and just uncheck the ones I wasn't using right then (ie: Seasonal buttons) so I wouldn't have to set them up again. Now (4.09c) I can not completely remove settings (can not remove file path). I use this to keep my list organized. It is not a big deal, I was just wondering.

Everything else is running GREAT. I do know that MTU suggests that I upgrade to at least 3gig of ram now for running Vista. I work around any slow down or freeze problems (don't add Singer CD's toward end of a song playing or I can't do anything until it completes) until I can get this upgraded.

MTU's thinking on this was to prevent someone from putting in a wrong or mistyped file name, but I see your point on this as well. Maybe they can add a "Clear/Delete Entry" button so you can completely remove one.
The situation you mentioned about adding singer's discs will not change regardless of how much RAM you add. The program is designed to not start anything new until that process is complete. This was done to keep from causing sync problems with the next song.

Once an instabutton has been been added we can change the file that is associated with it using the "Select File" button (this changes the file path) and we can can edit the title & color. Also when an instabutton is unchecked in the setup window it is removed from the main Hoster screen.

I like this setup.

JNS02, we fixed one problem and overlooked the fact we no longer have a way to "delete" an existing entry.

We will address that in 4.10.

In the meantime, you can "reuse" and existing button by selecting the new filename you want, and change the button Title and Color to what you now want.

Dale, Thank you for the info on importing Singer songs from CD to play list. I can live with this like I have all along, start import soon after a singer starts a song. Usually finish import before singer finishes.

Thank you Admin. It's not a big problem, I was just wondering.

JNS02,
MTU took Dales suggestion and added a "Clear Entry" button in the instabutton window to the next release of Hoster. I just tested it in the latest beta and it works great. Everything is deleted in one click, very cool. I can see where it will save alot of time for folks who change their instabuttons often.

Thanks for the info Jim, Like I said, it wasn't a big deal but I like to keep things organized and this is a help. (for me anyway. Maybe I'm just a little anal). How far away is 4.10 (approx)
