Hi Guys, a question:

I think I may have been a bit too paranoid with the Daemon settings in the UI of ZapLoc.

I'm starting to think of changing it like this:

- default "Background Updates" to off (I still think I need to have somethign like this off by default so people are always aware when they turn it on... or do you think people is smart enough to realize this anyway? I don't want to get liable for my app sharing stuff people didn't want....)

- remove the settings of "when to start" and "when to stop" the daemon.

The new logic would be:

- if "background updates" is on, daemon starts at boot and never stops
- If "background updates" is off, daemon either a) doesn't run at all, or b) just runs while the main program is visible.


My questions to you:

#1 Does this change make sense?
#2 Should it do a) or b) for "background updates"=Off mode?


I just realized I was being overzealous here: For example, "auto checkins" and "latitude updates" are ALSO both off by default. Lots of stuff to turn on before it actually works
