don't worry about that We are honored that you would like to donate money, this is a great compliment, but we are a small company and we don't plan to charge for Canola2 betas. And of course if we planned to do that in the future, we would like to give the best support, updates and so on, and I think we still on track to find this level but we are never satisfied


We are working harder on the scanner to find ways to make it refresh itself more reliable. This is one of the reasons while canola takes a little bit more to startup.

Our plan is to let you choose if you wanna scan the disc everytime canola starts or if you want to do that manually. Anyways, you would need at least to refresh media

Well, like I said, the scanner is looking for changes, to avoid problems, but it's not working reliable today.. so itn eeds to be improved and the choice of not doing that needs to be added.


Yeah, on the list, working on this

You actually pointed out something really important here, that if you want clean browsing it's quite complicated. I think we can refine this to be morelike you said and it will for sure improve it.

About the speed. the problem is not actually canola, but how big is your photos. the fulllscreen view really picks up the best quality, so if you photos are big, it will take time to read it from the disk and change from on to another. In the review screen, we pick up lower quality preview, and we "pre-load" some pictures ahead of the one you are looking, that's why it's seems faster.

Anyhow, this is a really powerful comment, that can bring a lot of improvements with simple changes in ui, but a little bit more complicated changes in the coding. But I am goin to be honest: to try to make things smoother, but then people trying to have fast switch between photos on their 7 mega pixel photos will be quite hard


You mean in the "browse by album" right?

Good set of comments, for sure I think a little bit more complex that a simple change, but it will definitely make canola better for a lot of users
