So far I can't exactly estimate when the features will be implemented. The first importance so far has LiveDB implementation. And it will be much harder to implement than in other plugins, due to GPL issues and client-server architecture of the plugin...
After LiveDB will be ready, I will work on other features..

steveps3, why not to use Dropbox then? Or Google Drive? Archive your files with password protection? Where is the problem? As for me I haven't seen any mail service supporting 280 Mb attachments.

I understand that English is not your first language but you appear to have no problem with rudeness.

(Edited to remove harsh reply)

JimStar,
You're doing a fantastic job, and most of us appreciate it very much!
And BTW, you were not rude...just bewildered as I was, and no doubt everyone
else was. You've been a good guy even under all the pressure.

Take your time. We will be patient.

What? File sharing? It is awful! How can people securely share the files without government permission? Thank you for opening my eyes on this.

I don't know who "openly associates" it with "piracy", but I and many other people associate it with FIRST AMENDMENT, which it seems becomes more and more forgotten by those who never lived in totalitar countries...
People who need to share LEGAL content do not have to suffer from those who shares some unlegal. And not the service should be punished, but those who shares something unlegal.

If you don't like this service - choose please any other, but don't ask me to spend my time searching for you the service by which you will be satisfied finally.

JimStar, please chill out. I think that everyone here see that the alpha-team-member's reaction is inadequate.
(Aplha-testing team, btw — just testing the alphas, not "the alpha male" etc.)

A user-problem that user doesn't want to solve... A kind of "hey, I've found a bug! Get over here right now and take it! Take it! Or I'll throw it away! Oh, you don't wanna cross the ocean and take it? Ok, you're gonna have a big problem... with your conscience!"

P.S.: Jim, really, thank you for your work!

Please, if some of you will encounter the same slowdown in comparison to 1.2 - report here...
As so far only one such complaint was made among all the Windows and Linux users... And I have tested it with different heavy scenes with timer in hands - no difference...
So, we will quickly "kill this beast" if somebody will have the reproduceable scene.
