Operation and possibilities of the program
Hello Simon,
thank you very much for the work on Minimserver 2. i bought this software. I have been working on the Minimserver lately. I don't know which work is in the minim server.
I am not a programmer and my English is not very good.
I hardly understand the user manual. It seems to be written for programmers and insiders. Also in the forums I don't understand many things. When I try to implement an idea of a user, I often get error messages and don't understand why. Many don't understand the program, which is a pity. Because the Sever is fast and good.
I am just a music lover and want to surf through my music library in an easy way. I use a Linn (with the app "Linn" and "Linn Kazoo"). The music files are on a Synology DS 218+ and I configure it with MinimWatch on iMac.

Here are my suggestions:
1. the translation file "ServerBundle_en.defaults”
2. the user manual


1. ServerBundle_en.defaults:

"items" are in German not "Artikel" but "Titel".
"unknown" in German means better "unbekannt", not "unbekannte".
the square bracket "[ ]" for "[unknown]" is not necessary in my opinion
There is a problem when you create a "ServerBundle_en.properties":
here: "ServerBundle_en.defaults" (Picture 1)
Shown is the menu help on the right: "A B C D" etc. This menu help simplifies the search considerably.
For "ServerBundle_en.properties" the menu help looks like this (Picture 2)
The menu help: on the right: "A B C D" etc. is missing, which makes the search much more difficult.


2. user manual:
It is a very long continuous text. No internet translation can translate it, because the amount of characters is limited. The translations do not help either, because many references are not clear. In my opinion, too many programming details are explained in this user manual for the users.
Screenshots would be very helpful to understand where which settings or entries have to be made.

The interface (MinimWatch) for the Mac version is strangely blurred.
Many settings in MinimWatch on the "Advanced" tab are not explained. In any case I can't find any instructions that are based on the program's interface. At least I haven't found any.
Nevertheless I like to use this program. Thanks again for the work! Most server programs are far from being as fast and flexible.
Please do not understand this mail as a complaint, but as a suggestion from a user who unfortunately has no idea about programming.

Best regards
