    Share some screenshots please.
    No screens displayed at all. It just shows an icon in the System Tray. Icon is not nice yet. Maybe some one of the skinners could do a nice icon for it.

    Have you thought about doing the same with movies?
    Have not looked at movies yet, but could be expanded to that as well. Let's see how the community likes the music part.

    Ok, just submitted a new version to the download section of the mp main site.
    Can be found in the Download sections in plugins\Other.

    Exists now as a standalone exe and as a mp plugin.

    Tough relying on some code available in music\database, i decided to copy the code into my program, as Steve as very busy for making 0.2 ready to be released and i didn't want to interfere.

    Once 0.2 is out and there is enough interest for the utility, i'll make sure that the database related code is merged into music database.

    I'm using it now since several weeks and can't find any bugs anymore. But i'm sure that there maybe exist a few.
    so if anyone gives it a try and finds some bugs, please pm me or report them here.

    have fun,

    Helmut

    Hi chili,

    thx, for using the software.

    yes, seems to be normal.
    I need 2 FileSystemWatcher per share to monitor changes on Files and Folders. They allocate some memory.
    And currently i'm using some stuff out of MP Database.dll and Core.dll and have my on database coding.
    So this blows it up a bit.

    When you use for example the MP Plugin version, you can almost not recognize any difference.
    For example MP with the plugin enabled took 93540k. When i disable the plugin it is 90800k. So the plugin takes 2740k.
    I've tried it several times and the difference is pretty much the same.
    What i could try is to get the Core stuff and Database stuff i'm using into my own dll, and see if it gets smaller. But then the size of the plugin will grow, because i'm no longer using the mp standard stuff.

    I'll see what i can do.
    Quite busy over the weekend and next week, but most probably i could tell you something by the end of next week.

    greetings,

    Helmut

    will have a look anyhow, if i find some leaks.
    But as those 14MB are already there immediately after startup, i asume that's the .NET CLR and other DLLs.

    .NET apps are memory hogs but from a development POV its most definately a price worth paying. You can adjust the working set properties of the Application instance but bear in mind its an articificial thing 95% of the time.
