Feature Requests, v0.50 and beyond... Options

[Da Bear]

How about Samba support i.e client and server, would be nice, not everytime I want to start my ftp client just to transfer one config file

[gto65l]

Would it be possible to make the bootimage.png skin definable?
A movable cursor with the xtoolbox keyboard so I dont have to erase the whole line to edit a couple things. Unless you can already, then I'm just an idiot.
Again, a text editor and nickname editor.

Can we have an equivalent to EvoX's ID_NO_D_MOUNT ?
Would be very useful for my screenshot patches.

It's only a matter of changing the '\??\D:' symlink to '\Device\Cdrom0' before starting the XBE. Really easy.

[Mazarot]

I'd really really like to see the ability to have some skin settings
To be honest I'd really love to remove the text that says loading your application and the icon.

[Mazarot]

...and choosing text colours.
Plus a real annoyance is that the main background seems too big, but the exact same one place for the settings happens to fit perfectly. A bug?

[trentdadi]

I would be happiest if you didnt add anymore features but fixed all the bugs with the ones you currently have.

Also, what would be really nice is to be able to change your xbox name through Avalaunch. I know its possible to go beyond the normal alphabet with that because I have seen names with the A, B, X, and Y symbols that look like the buttons on the xbox controllers and even have options for some animation.

Multigame disc support for discs without a root executable.



I don't like my multi discs causing the dash not to load on reset, so I don't put an executable in the root. I instead just place the games in their respective directories, and have put a path in my games list for them. The problem with this is that I have to reset any time I insert one of these discs to get the stuff to show in the list.

It would be great if it just autoscanned for 2nd level executables, regardless of what it found in the root (nothing). As it is now, it already has the ability to do what I want, it just doesn't do it, because it doesn't find that useless menu executable in the root.

Definately the Defrag/Chkdisk option...I beg you...I'm missing a gig of space...and I think that one of those two would help Also...how about the ability to use the downloaded pics as the background of everything instead of just the main page...wouldnt mind some cute girls in the background of my IRC or options menu

[Lysip]

howabout you add some options to the filemanager and on screen keyboard.

filemanager: 1. being able to select multiple files at a time. (ie. deleteing stuff)
2. fix that refreshing the user views thing.

on screen keyboard: 1. being able to move the cusor back to the middle of a word. (not have to delete the whole thing cause the firstletter needs to be changed.)

Oh and i know ive said this befor but ........ACL Processing.......

also looking foward to the .50 release. (skining engine/FTP rewrite)

keep up the good work.

[Norse]

Please, for the love of peete, give the ability to turn off all onscreen text when ACAM/APOD are being used as background. I leave my xbox on to play mp3 and ACAM....plasmas dont like text that can burn it. Would be great to have it auto hide after a bit instead of darkening the entire screen.

a simple button press should take all onscreen text and blow it out to areas not visable.


oh, and keep up the great work. Dash is sick!

[angelfly]

one feature I'd like to see is abilty to power cycle.

[Lysip]

ok call me stupid but what is power cycle? like actuly power off then on? like evox?

[angelfly]

preview video support, when my friends come over and want to play a game, its a helluva lot easier to have them choose whichever game has a video they like than to have to explain all 80 games.....

keep up the good work, the .49 release converted me and all my other modded friends to avaluanch.
