Multiple Instances (Encouraging Feature Development:)

[simoncn]

It seems that multiple instance support is unlikely to happen any time soon. All the design approaches that I have considered either added too much complexity in the implementation or made the user interface more awkward for the great majority of users who don't want to do this.

I am open to providing a shortcut capability that would enable a tag choice to be autoselected based on matching a user-specified value such as "true" or "1". My intuition is that this shouldn't be too difficult to implement but I won't know until I start work on it.

I have thought about the possibility of adding some kind of selection path capability where one selection choice would automatically make the next one. For example, this could allow the user to specify that selecting a Genre value would automatically prompt for an Artist value next. This would be a significant departure from the MinimServer approach of allowing any tag value to be selected at any time and I think it is likely to be considerably more complex to implement than it is to describe. I would need to think very carefully about this before coming to any decision and there is no possibility that it could happen in the short to medium term because of other items on my to-do list that have higher priority.
