+MyEmu...?

+Add some more specific emulator support..
+ - using emulator ids??? yes at some point. this could benefit automatic downloads etc
+ - easier application image assigning together with thumbsdir -> we also could provide icons for most common system
+
+
+"Minimize MP before starting a file" as a new option for application items:
+ - sometimes after starting a file (here with fullscreen DirectX PC games, i.e. NFS Most Wanted)
+   MP use too much resources, so the started game slows down and is impossible to play properly
+ - tried it already, but did not get it working properly
+    i used messaging of mp (Messages: MP_SEND_TO_TRAY, MP_SEND_TO_TRAY_DONE, MP_RESTORE_FROM_TRAY, MP_RESTORE_FROM_TRAY_DONE)
+ - how it can work:
+    -> GUIListItem clicked -> WaitForExit-true? -> MinimizeMPonFileLunch-true?
+    --> Minimize MP by sending MP_SEND_TO_TRAY
+    --> wait for MP_SEND_TO_TRAY_DONE
+    -> start file -> wait for fileExit -> IsMPinTray-true?
+    --> Restore MP by sending MP_RESTORE_FROM_TRAY
+    --> wait for MP_RESTORE_FROM_TRAY_DONE
+    -> now it should be able to work with GUI again
+
+Pause/Close Games by input devices:
+ - Gamepads/Joysticks:
+     # try to use MediaPortal's DirectInput feature -> Configuration -> Remote -> DirectInput
+     # or joystick..don't know, there is joy2key and scripting too..
+ - Remotes, in general, maybe we should handle it like DirectInput
+     imo lower priority, if you play with keyboard, use it to close the app, if you play with joystick try first point
+
+---- Suggested features i won't do --------------
+
+ - BackUp feature? - I you wanna do it.... ...Same goes for report features.

 ThumbnailSupport:
  - [low] genre: thumbs for genre, for example it could be created on AllGame lookup, for first file with this genre

-Comment: lets fix some more of the above issues and then head for these?
+Iso mounting -> pro/contra???  The user can easliy script this.
 
+Fixed by chefkoch ... can i remove this?
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  - How do we want to handle images in future? -
 Currently it is really strange for example if we need to recreate the db from the scratch, you always have to set up the whole stuff.

 Above: maybe add an advanced option for the user. In short, allowing a merge between "easy setup" (as above)
 and total control filepaths etc.
