    Feature Request: Addition to preload directive.

    Hello I would like to formally request a feature be added to the preload directive.

    Hhahaha

    That sounded so official. Any way to the point, I would like it if another field could be added to the preload command. (i.e. preload=audio_player.skin;Audio System) This would be similar to the optional field that can be added to the end of some commands for speach. It would just look slicker while loading the skin. See below:

    Code:
    preload=audio_player.skin;Audio System
    preload=video_player;Video System
    preload=root_menu.skin;Menu Structure
    preload=exit_menu.skin;Menu Structure
    preload=media_menu.skin;Menu Structure
    These commands would produce the output below while RR loads.

    Starting Winamp...
    Pre-Loading: Audio System
    Pre-Loading: Video System
    Pre-Loading: Menu Structure

    So what do we think of the idea. The additional field will be optional so those that don't use it will just see the standard preload info.

    Or instead of listing them, it just updates the "starting winamp..." with the next task. Love the idea BTW.

    Well it does already say "Pre-Loading: audio_player.skin", etc. after it says "Starting Winamp..." that just looks funny in my opinion.
