Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
I cannot wait until this utility is released. It will bring so many more options to the table.

Oh my, I am sooo stoopid. I thought he meant LOG as in L.O.G. and I didn't know what that stood for. He meant log window. DUH!

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
Not to burden you or anything, Ruatha, but perhaps for a future Version of this utility, do you think you could put in music playlists? I like to listen to thematic music when I play my games - e.g. if I am playing an evil race I will listen to dark, ominous music. So perhaps each PBW game could have an associated playlist, and then the program will play a random selection from that list. So for "Fantasy Empires" where I'm playing as the Hyrule Kingdom I'd have a list of music from "The Legend of Zelda" games and I'd just get a random Zelda tune each time I start up that game.
Just a thought... don't know if it would be too hard for you... What programming language are you using anyway?

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
I'm sorry, but I haven't asked my emploeyer if I could program here at work... so I'll just post instead!
About MP3 playlists, there are three possibilities:
1) You use the Favorites already inbuilt ability to open an external program with an external file to open a different playlist with your current mp3 player, this is already enabled.
2) I make a "playlist" option for each favorite and you define your preferred player once in the settings, this is the way I'm likely to go as it's easy and quick.
3) I make my own built in player, it seems to be free(?)

BTW, I use delphi, still many bits to piece in, gotta make fail safes and error handling, and code that avoids errors.

Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.
Don't risk your job to program for a game. Also by programing at work you may in fact be giving your idea to your employer. When I worked we all had to sign an agreement that anything we designed, made, invented, created, wrote, thought, pooped out, consumed, considered, etc belonged to the company.
