I'm afraid the weekend beta just isn't going to make it. I had my lead beta tester hit the app and it's in very good shape for a first pass - but I have a couple of loose ends still I must wrap up.
Today's effort DOES, however, give me a decent list of things to work on. Thanks to the tester's diligence, I was able to clean up some serious issues in the microSD Profiler and the backup tool.
The backup tool still locks the application up while it's working; I need to research threading more to get this issue cleaned up. However, I was able to use a delegate to keep the file copying list displaying during the copy -- of course, if you click off the application, it doesn't refresh the way it should. Sigh.
There are issues with custom SAVE and TEXT locations too.
Finally, there are a couple of glaring issues with the Skin Manager that I really want tidied up before the public gets it.
The good news is - there really isn't much horribly wrong - just a lot of little things that the evil anal perfectionist wants done. :)
Something we found during testing ... there are apparently skins out there that have malformed XML descriptor files. Apparently, if they work on the CycloDS, you won't have an issue here. However, I can see people downloading and installing skins through this tool and they will not know what's wrong. It would be nice if whatever tools are being used to make skins would be sure to validate XML or host sites that can check the validity when they are uploaded.
Well, that's enough of an update ... back to work.
