NicePlayer Usage TipVery Nice -- but Some suggestions - Version: 0.96.2, 8/22/2008 09:07AM PST

I have been using Nice Player for a long time and consider it the best QT player. I do have some suggestions for improvement, though. In earlier versions, you could simply drag moovs to the main window and they would be added to the playlist. More recent versions require you to drag to the playlist only. And when I do drag files to the playlist, they load in the reverse order. So if i have 2 parts to a video and drag them into the playlist in 1-2 order, they reverse to 2-1 order. This requires me to reorder the moovs in the playlist manually every time. I would also appreciate SLOW MOTION controls. And ALL controls should be available as keyboard commands using some combination of command keys and arrow keys. Make those fixes and additions and Nice Player will become Great Player!
