Rev 2.5 Beta [Performance/Rev-Online/Dreamcard/...]

[Malte Brill]

Hi all,

first of all I would like to say thanks for this Beta. I see the Rev-Team
has put lots of effort into it. :-)

1.) Performance. I am glad to see that my ErcSneak stack now runs as fast
under X as it does under 9. It slows down a bit with 2.1/2.2

This is Great!

2.) Rev-online. I think this could become a cool place if it gets used. What
I really would love to see is how big in KB/MB the stacks are (I just looked
at it, so maybe this is somewhere I havent found yet) I created an account a
few minutes ago. If you download the Stack from my users section mind it is
2.xx MB.

3.) Dreamcard. Will this have the same IDE or will it look differently? I
don´t understand the term " smoothed off interface" Does this describe what
the Interface is going to look in *all* versions?

I also would like to say that I am happy about the Player approach.
I haven´t looked at it too much by now, so maybe the following is redundant,
as it might be already implemented:

I think it could be useful if the player would allow Autoplay for CD Roms.
This could be implemented by looking for a simple text file e.g. toc.txt
with only one line of text holding the relative path to the stack that
should be played. This would be a big plus (if it isn´t already possible).
Also I haven´t found a way to browse the local directory (but I just looked
at it for a few minutes). Also I would like to know which components is in
the player:

imagelibrary/externals/cursors/...?

The new toolbar: It looks more modern. I liked the old one better, but I
think I will get used to it.

2 (euro)cents only,

Malte
