iDevices

  • Ability to import iDevices created by other users :) (already works, but would be nice to add export/import buttons in IDevice editor)

  • Ability to associate audio files with selected iDevices, for example Free text or image gallery iDevices (./)
  • Categorisation of iDevices so that they are displayed in a tree structure, rather than an alphabetical list. (Will do hide/show in popup menu in IDevice list)

  • --(Ability to split/join the free text and wikipedia iDevice into iDevices with unique ID.)-- (Copy and paste mate! Will increase wikipedia timeout and give user feedback while downloading.
