User Guide for MM5? Would be helpful

Post by Weatherman »

As a long time user of MM4, I found it quite intuitive, but it was a properly released program and I could spend a couple of years really learning the ins and outs.
With MM5 being a very different beast, there seems to have been years of development and still it is in the beta stage. It is hard to learn how something works, or how best to customise it, especially when other things go wrong and you're not sure if it's a glitch or something you did wrong.
Is there any possibility of a User manual where someone can learn what MM5 offers, how to use it the way it is intended and helping us old time MM4 users able to see how we can make the transition and maintain what we like, or at least warn us of what is different, etc?
A lot is being said about the scope and depth of MM5. It would make sense then that, like other programs, a User Guide would be available.
Thanks

Support has been updated and the Help is being updated (so parts are still for MediaMonkey 4, which often works similarly): https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index. ... ontent/5.0

Have you a link for that?

I don't see any MM5 coverage in the link that you provided?
You are seeing something different?

Is the Help text going to go through beta test?
I agree with the OP, that MM5 changes are significant ... So a beta test of the documentation seems critical for MM5 success.
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.

Help is being worked on now that MediaMonkey 5 is more stable in its design. MediaMonkey 5 isn't released yet though.
