4.05b4 seems to be much more stable on my Zire 71 then 4.05b3, so here's some feedback:
Amen to the outcry for Unfiled.
Updating to 4.05b4 I experienced a loss of all items in Category view that were on an expansion card. (Ouch)
The click-icon access to the Action list is a nice feature. The icon indication of Device/Card location is a plus as well. Could be even nicer if there were a multiple document selection ability.
I suppose you have had requests for multiple views and I might actually care at some point (I don't at the moment since I'm sick of the whole I-MY-FAVORITES-LIFE-DOT-NET thingy) but it would be nice to get rid of those icons (maybe in the same way a document can hide the toolbar?) since it seems you already have a control that could do the job.
Why couldn't the drop-down that shows in the upper-left of Document list handle all switching?
Recently Opened
Updated
Categories (expand if selected to show each category)
Favorites (expand if selected to show both??? - why two?)
Device & Storage (expand path as selected and update list)
It would be nice if button browsing of links could continue off-screen. That is, if a document has four links, but only two are on screen, the Next-Link option recycles within the screen rather than finding the next link. I uploaded SciFi.zip which contains an IXL that gets the same SciFi Channel that AvantGo gets. The button browsing in the AvantGo version is much better than iSilo. (Edit the ixl Destination : Files : Paths before converting the IXL.)
While I realize this may be more a generic OS problem, it would be nice if iSilo warned me if I were copying a file from Card to Device that would take up so much room that I would no longer be able to run iSilo (There is not enough memory to run the application). Many other applications still worked, BTW.
All for now, keep up the good work.
