The suggestions list ... please feel free to comment

- please don't remove frame mode, keep the options open!

Don't worry, I have had a re-think, frame mode is staying

I really like the idea of a panic button and mobile interface though and would like to see them graduate to the feature list! :)

Panic button, yes it will be implemented, mobile interface will stay on the maybe list - its a lot of work.

-synchronized playback from multiple cameras with color coded motion timeline graphs (the ultimate feature IMO)

I think I might implement it but want to get all the other changes done first because its a lot of code changes in the most complex part of kmotion.

-revamp playback controls so all buttons are visible at once (currently user must click "Click for frames" to get to frame+- and event+- buttons).

In kmotion3 I am enlarging the config / non live screen area so there would be enough screen real estate but I am concerned about too many buttons causing confusion, it has to be intuitive.

-add play/pause button and option to auto-play events or not (specifically not)

Noted, I am re-thinking archive playback, I was going to leave it largely unchanged but looks like it is going to be re-written.

-option to sort events by date descending (newest first)

As above :)

-option to disable login prompt

Not sure how useful this would be, you can formulate the URL to contain the username and password for LAN use and any WAN access will need a login prompt.

-keep aspect ratio true to camera resolution (currently 1280x720 gets squished into 4:3)

That could get messy, especially with different camera aspect ratios in the same view ... unsure how to handle that one so putting it on ice.

-include all motion detection settings in kmotion interface as opposed to config files

That would be very difficult, there are a lot of motion options and locking the GUI in that closely would mean that any changes in motion would completely break kmotion. I have gone with the rational that the GUI is for common options that are used 95% of the time. The more advanced stuff is for the config files. There is also the point that to add all the option in the GUI would take a long long time :)

-need a better way to switch between event and display modes, maybe a toggle button? or potentially
display both at the same time?

As above, having an archive re-think.

Anyhow got to go, got some free time and want to push kmotion3 on a bit further ...
