* Make {gameid} + {gameid6} in wiiflow.ini case in-sensitive.
I have already been caught out by a site telling my to use {GAMEID} - I found I 
had to use {gameid}.

* Reduce font size of "downloading from: http://...".
Currently the text disappears off right side of screen.

* store game info (playcount/favorite/etc) in a separate .ini
When I have had to "delete settings file" due to an upgrade, all this 
information would have been lost unless I copied out, delete the ini so it 
could be re-created and then pasted back in!

-This is already done a long time ago.  I dont know what rev you are using but 
we are up to r218

-pointless, we dont support sites who keep bad png's anyways.

-how do you expect us to control the length of the url when you are specifying 
your own? =P

I hope I haven't offended you as your replies seem to be a bit abrupt and 
rather harsh.

1. I installed the r92a-WiiFlow_222.zip available in downloads and after 
noticing the new "upgrade" button, I pressed it to pull the "latest" version 
down.  As it downloaded r181 I assumed this was the latest one?!  Should I be 
pressing the button multiple times to upgrade incrementally?

2. Regarding the case in-sensitivity and length of the url ... they were only 
simple suggestions - not criticisms. The length of the url I was talking about 
was actually the ones provided by the default-created wiiflow.ini and not the 
ones I put in. eg. http://wiitdb.com/wiitdb/artwork/coverfullHQ/EN/XXXXXX.png.

It's not offending, it's just his style :P

Anyway, what he meant by pointless, is the fact that if a host doesn't support 
upper or lowercase characters, we can't help that...we cannot possibly try 
every case for every letter, that would result in an massive amount of game 
id's. Wiiflow itself is case insensitive, since the FAT and NTFS filesystems 
are case insensitive.

About the upgrade button. We only release certain revisions which we think are 
stable enough for the masses. You don't have the latest one, but that doesn't 
really matter. If you want the latest, either compile it yourself, or come join 
us on IRC.

About the lengthy url, I agree it's a bit big, but we cannot change the 
fontsize of one particular text object on the screen. That would require us 
some pretty big changes. Changes that we think are irrelevant at this point.

Btw, I said that we cannot change the font size of a particular text object, 
but that's not entirely true: themers can change that in their ini...

Thanks r-...@live.com, I thought I'd upset miigotu.

The case-sensitivity was with the actual macro token - not the data it is 
subsituted with, ie. {gameid6} will work but {GAMEID6} doesn't.   Anyways not a 
biggie.

Didn't realize even the download screen was 'skinable' ... I'll look at 
changing the font size in the .ini.
