[QUOTE="ariyanto, post: 104474, member: 26618"] 1. What did you have to do before you got MP up & running ? Once having installed MP to arrive at setup not knowing what to do was daunting but, being that although i am not a software developer I have over the years learned by trial and error how to use computers and build them as with the system I use now. For most people it is hard to know what to do in the configuration, which would put some people off using MP, but having searched and tried many media programmes MP is the best and what it offers or has planned is the leader in its field and best of all it’s free, having used showshifter before (now no more as they went bust). It was easy for me to get MP started but it is all the options and other parts that were hard to set up, and for a beginner is very hard. The Documentation for MP is very basic and without doing a lot of searching does not always provide the answers. Or the part that you need to know has not been written. 2. What could be improved to make install & configuration easier ? To be able to enter config via the MP Interface would be good and 3 levels of config like beginner, Intermediate and Advance that way people would not get so confused by what all the items do and this could be Integrated with set up wizards for each level. The Documentation needs to be updated with all menu items leading to the required information including plug-in, MP programme settings for each level, and what the config tabs or items do. These all can be web based with links from within MP to the page for the items via a help button for each tab or MP item. Being web based would allow MP not to have to have more large downloaded files for the help system. I think that having added help buttons and adding links to the web based help files and documentation would help so much, and having levels of config may also not put people off using such a great programme as MP. Documentation with graphics and step by step guides could also be used. As I have said I am not a programmer developer and my knowledge of computer is advance but not perfect so helping with the development of MP I could not do but with the documentation, help files, set up procedures and step by step guides I could help with if you were interested as by background is in management training and so helping to train and develop peoples knowledge I can do. If you are interested as I am very and have been thinking of this for a long time since using MP just email me [email]rpn@vodafone.net[/email]. Thanks for MP [/QUOTE]
