| Summary | 0007877: Users should be able to enable/disable MM features | ||||
| Description | MediaMonkey should have the ability to enable/disable various of its features, just like Rhythmbox does in Linux. A GUI similar to the Extension Manager would present a list of these features, which could be enabled/disabled, but not uninstalled. We could think of these features as "bundled extensions". Turning a feature off would completely wipe away any mention of it (like menu items, nodes, option sheets...), which would lead to a much cleaner interface and less RAM usage. Obviously, this would require a lot of code re-engineering (although some features are already "modularized" in the form of a DLL). Here is a list of some features I think could be modularized and then enabled/disabled at user's will: - Support for various devices (MTP, generic USB, all iDevices and so on) - Various plugin types (input, output, DSP, Visualization, General) - Podcasts, Video, Photo (in future), Internet radio, Media sharing, Web node (and all web related features) - CD/DVD burning, CD extraction, format conversion and volume leveling/adjustment - Virtual CD and Previews - Party mode, Auto-DJ, Column browser and Art browser, Micro-player - the list goes on... | ||||

First two can be easily done using Scripting and http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/SDBFileSystem add wishlist into Scripting Forum. As an example see install/uninstall.vbs from last.fm plugin |

Note: Zvezdan's request is actually even simpler than this: To give users the option to not install the portions of MM that are already modularized. This should be much simpler. |
