Default Desktop Manager 4.6 - 07-05-2008, 01:56 PM

So, I;ve downloaded and installed DM 4.6, but haven;t really noticed anything new over 4.5. Does anyone know what features were added over 4.5?

Media manager is not new to dm. There are mainly cosmetic changes an a few big fixes.

Sweet, looking forward to this release...

I had to downgrade back to 4.5 for various bugs. 4.5 is still very stable and just as good imo

Funny that 4.5 is more stable than 4.6. BerryReview wrote today that Vodafone released DM 4.6. DM 4.5 is very slow but for some reason I prefer it to DM 4.3, so I'll keep it for now. The version of DM 4.6 released by Vodafone must have media manager in it, due to the relatively huge file size of the download. I also prefer the leaner DM w/o media manager. I already have Nero and very much prefer it to Roxio and also know from past problems that it's best not to have both installed on a computer at the same time.


Thx to all for the great advice!

Sheldon

Dawg... do you find it faster than 4.5??
Also, is there a way to do a custom install which excludes media manager?

4.5 was crap. 4.6 was more crap. 4.7 is fairly stable.

I wouldn't call 4.7 all that stable....it locks up during Switch Device Wizard. Switch Device Wizard won't work at all.

Yes, but you can UNcheck that option in the install/setup on 4.6 and 4.7

Yes, when you install it, go to I think advanced and put an X on the media part and it won't install the media manager.
