Hello all,

i´d really like to hear you opinion about the direction TLB development currently takes.

In my opinion it gets a little off track considering how it began. But that could be just my impression. Different people, different needs. Smile


How do i put this ... let me try: Wink

When i began using TLB it was plain and easy for the reason that it made my life easier in saving time to access stuff and get things sorted.

Lately with some upcoming plug-ins it tends to do (quite nice i must admit) stuff that leaves the basic direction of TLB.
Example: Weather monitor. In my impression it takes quit a lot of development ressources and although it might be nice it is not what i would consider a feature really neccessary.

Oh you might argue "Yeah thats why it is a plug-in - like it use it, don´t like it don´t use it , man!".
But that is not my point. If i look into the Suggestions Box i see many requests for improving basic TLB features which just make live with and handling of windows easier/faster/better.

As there is an SDK available to write plug-ins i would like to see Yuri concentrate on the basic features and leave those "fun" or "gimmick" plug-ins to other people.
(note: sorry "fun" and "gimmick" might not really be the word i like to use but i really lack the right word for this. In German i would say "Schnickschnack")

Well, this is all just my impression and my expectations. That´s why i really would like to see many votes and comments on this because i´m really interested how you guys think about this.

Oh - and here are some examples of basic feature requests (random picks):

- TLB "Auto hide" improvement.
- Run all delay
- A 'Send To' entry for TLB
- Right click menu


and some "gimmicks" stuff:

- Winamp Control + Seeking Bar
- Moon Phase Plug-In


Huh ... another one of my monster comments Big Grin
regards,
Bender
