@rugbymad:
Sorry, mousepad would require direct interaction with windows (or whatever system one is using. Remember that XBMC is multi-platform. I'm not running a single windows instance myself, all Linux & OS X).
This would only be possible through additional software like VNC for example.
Implementing something like this would be way out of scope for my little app
There are some really good apps out there that transform your ipad into a mousepad, please try one of those.
The second thing, profile switching, is also problematic:
XBMC shuts down all external communication when logging out of a profile.
Therefor you can't even input the passcode through XBMC Commander once the lockscreen is visible. Also XBMCs remote control API doesn't support profile listing / switching (yet?), so theres no way to initiate a switch through XBMC Commander.
@meridius:
First of all some minor improvements like the ability to enqueue youtube videos, improved caching, improved stability in playlists, an url scheme for directly linking into the app.
Additionally i'm planning to show a bit more meta data on items like video and audio details (eden only)
And finally a rather slick feature: I'm working on a "hack" that will let you control XBMC from your iPads lockscreen / multitasking bar. Just like the ipod controls you usually have there. But don't get overly exited, i'm not entirely sure if this will pass apple revision
