Question

Here's a strange one.

With recent betas, run a search for images and the media filter is likely to show "video" or "audio" as well as images as filtering options. Click the oddball media filter and the result list is pared down to ... not even an animated .gif, which might qualify as "video" in a technical sense. Just one or more ordinary jpegs.

But your priority should be getting Limewire 5 to have a user interface that is actually decently responsive. Limewire 4 or 3 anything seem to process input in batches, then store up but otherwise ignore input for a while, then process another batch. For example, trying to scroll through search results with a wheel mouse is an exercise in futility: first it won't budge, then it will start dancing up and down by itself and keep doing so for a while even if you take your hand completely off the mouse. Then when you go to scroll again it just sits wherever it landed ... the interface sometimes becomes almost totally unusable. Responding promptly to user input should take priority over whatever "thinking" an interactive application might do under the hood -- period. This kind of sluggish and frequently uncontrollable behavior is unacceptable, and that it has remained this prone to hangs, slowdowns, and ignoring-everything-you-do-for-five-minutes-then-trying-to-do-it-all-in-the-next-five-seconds through at least two major versions is unconscionable.
