1 - This violates Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and doesn't make sense for a document window anyway.

2 - Granted we don't save playlist state, but in regards to keyboard navigation what do you call command left and right arrow?

3 - There is nothing awful about the core video support, that's just inflamitory.

4- Your welcome to your opinion.

You don't take criticism very well obviously, even of the constructive kind.
I guess your app will not improve in that case.
Btw, I don't which part of the interface guidelines you are reffering to that state that an apps window should always open in the top left corner.

There is nothing constructive about "the core video support is awful."

That confirms the tone for your entire comment, and as a result sets the tone for the response multipled by critisms like "can't navigate the playlist by keyboard" which has been in NicePlayer for the last 1.25 years (the time in which NicePlayer has had playlists).

Why don't you read interface guidelines yourself and figure out what I meant by it.

You obviously have a very sensitive ego, judging from your continual references to my 'tone' ....what 'tone' would that be that you mean ...the 'tone' that dares to not see your app as incredibly perfect?
I did, btw, try to navigate the playlist from my keyboard and it did not work with any combination I tried so I assumed it was not implemented.
As for the core video issue, maybe I did not state what I meant properly ...that it did not work very well.
And whatever guidelines you are referring to, no I have not read them, but I know that every other app I use I can have the window open somewhere other than the top left corner of my screen.
Don't ever get a job in customer support because you would close down the company with your charm.
In any case, good luck to you and your 'amazing' app that everyone must 'surely' love and which since is designed by you, must be perfect and not open to suggestions.
I myself, am quite happy with the alternatives :)

Use what ever player your want, just don't arrogantly make baseless commentary on erroneous or fictions problems, and then pretend like you actually wanted support while attacking the character of one of the developers by making up baseless assumptions.

I personally didn't even write the Core Video support, but the improvement by it is so dramatic, over both NicePlayer's QuickTime plugin (which uses NSMovieView) and some other QuickTime based alternatives that are still using the the same NSMovieView (as they haven't been updated in a year), that when you make such a commentary and tag on "Core Video support is awful" , you don't get the benefit of respectful disagreement, you just get to be told you are wrong, live with it.

What, quantitatively, does not working well mean?
