[QUOTE="Bernard, post: 1013595, member: 120430"] I second this option. Just because it simplifies a process that is repeated hundreds of times during configuration of a MePo setup: Start MP -> Decide to change settings -> Close MP & Run Config (F2) -> Edit Settings [I][B]->[/B] [B]Close Settings -> Locate Shortcut -> Run MP[/B][/I] -> Check Result -> [repeat] Also HTPC setups normally have limited controls, so simple actions become dreadful tasks, like finding the shortcut on your start menu when you have MePo setup to "run at startup" and you have removed all shortcuts on the desktop and taskbar, using a keyboard only, "air mouse", "remote mouse". It would also not be strange if the config was 'n fullscreen windows application with large distant readable font.[DOUBLEPOST=1374130705][/DOUBLEPOST] I believe this is more a "proof of concept" patch. We need to evaluate what option would be most valued: [LIST=1] [*]Keyboard shortcut only [*]Alternate "Save & Run" button only [*]On/Off Checkbox to remember last choice only [*]Combination of the above. [*]All of the above. [/LIST] For the patch to be considered it would have to feel "natural" for most of the Dev Managers. Otherwise it will just be chucked. This is a very small patch, it does not even influence/alter any other code, and it improves the usage experience, or can be ignored. So it should be a no-brainer. But I'm surprised at how opinions differ! :cool: [/QUOTE]
