Hi Etienne

many thanks for your work, BBWin 0.5 works great (tested on Windows XP
Pro). Some settings in BBWin.cfg (like "report empty CD-ROM drives")are 
very useful.

I have a few questions / remarks :
- do you plan to add a "time-of-day" setting in BBWin.cfg (it will be
supported by the Hobbit client 4.2) ?


Well, this setting doesn't seem to be for the client. I'm not familiar with
this setting but I think it is only useful on hobbit server side. Could you
give me an example of when you would need that setting from the client ? 
 

- maybe BBWin.log should be moved from C:\ to C:\Program 
Files\BBWin\logs, I don't like files in the root directory ;-)


You are right, I will create a logs directory and certainly create a
registry entry for this useful path.
 

- do you think a GUI (like the one from the BB client) will exist one day ?


For the moment, the most important is to get a full stable client even if we
have to edit the file by hand. However, I plan to try to develop a small mmc
or a small gui tool to configure the XML BBWin.cfg file easily
 

- do you plan to add dynamic settings in the next release ? 


Yes, may be not the future release, but I plan to be able to reload settings
from BBWin.cfg dynamically when BBWin.cfg time stamp has changed for example
without restarting the service.


Thanks for you answer !
