Im assuming the project is taking a break (Maybe dead)... or theres a huge rewrite of the cache coming. Which seems to be the source of all the issues.

Hopefully they are scrapping it completely and looking at upgrading Hyperspin 1.5 instead.

This is what we all want 👍

It sums up development of Hyperspin to a tee. Promise new Hyperspin, for 10-15 Years, during that time False Promises, then we get a Launchbox /  Bigbox Clone, when all we wanted was Hyperspin upgraded, not the Reinvention of the wheel.

I dont mind what theyve done so far.... They just need to scrap the cache file which puts every single file on the drive into a database. (Im sure the scanning overhead is immense!)  And make override the default so their media can be used or your own.

Either that or get the hyperspin plugin working properly... So that it actually imports all the media correctly. (Right now... I can see the changes in HyperHQ.. but nothing gets transferred over to Hyperspin)

Im ok with their login system... I mean im sure they want to promote their memberships etc... All the other features seem to be great. The code is sound.

What about the elephant in the room?

The media doesnt sync over to hyperspin at all.

I think communication could be better—like a roadmap or weekly updates on what's being worked on—but aside from that, I'm happy to let things cook in the oven.

I know life gets in the way, but its practically a Month has gone by and no communication. Come on guys, is it going back to the Old Days, where no one would say anything, leading to the point, where people had thought the Channel had Died.........

Not sure where everyone is from but there is ALOT of political and economic turmoil in the US right now that could be driving it. That said. I've still been casually lurking on the forums with nothing much to say and seeing how this plays out for improvements. I still stand by my original ranty opinion that this new update has gone in a bizzare direction.

There are some good things about the new update in terms of flash and flare, but from a functionality perspective...in my own opinion, it's unusable...and I am in WAAAY deep in the original HS setup to just dump it and start over...even if the setup wizard is allegedly easier. If the HS asset manager thingy aims to replace Rlauncher, it has a ways to go. I am not a fan of the Theme uploader system...I understand what it is trying to do in terms of reducing administrative overhead, but it's a bunch of extraness that i could really do without.

I really just wanted smoother animation in HS and higher quality themes and to be able to somehow integrate it as a new/different frontend to my existing setup; which means connecting with Rlauncher. That's all. I feel terrible saying these things because i know it's an absurd amount of work to just poo poo...but then again, so was all the previously created themes by many artists over the years that to my understanding is now just obsolete, but It's really more overly complicated than i actually wanted and my current setup works fine for now.
