[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1155100, member: 82144"] There are design trade-offs with both approaches. This consequence seems [I]very[/I] unlikely, especially if the download is handled properly (ie. in an asynchronous background thread with lowest possible priority). On the other hand, a [I]certain[/I] consequence of having the plugin on the client side is that it must be installed and configured for each client installation. :( You are one of the plugin developers, so you get to make the choices. Hopefully you consider the opinions of other people such as lodale... :) [edit: I would also add that recording thumbnails are stored on the server and cached on each client. The same approach could be applied for logos... if you wanted it.] [/QUOTE]
