I’m just used to participating in projects where features are implemented because they make sense, not by popular vote
You’re new here.
Common Horse Sense, Logic OR popular vote play no part in the development process. Plex develops as they see fit regardless of user wishes or collective riot. Employees would have you believe that mysterious ‘voting system’ actually means something, but it does not.
If Plex takes a liking to a ‘feature’ they haven’t already got on the white board they ‘may’ work it in to the grand plan, but no amount of ‘votes’ are going to make one bit of difference in this process. If they did, there are feature requests with hundreds of votes that are languishing right now drawing flies serenaded by crickets (or so I’m told) that would be getting some attention, but are not. I can’t officially make, view or vote on a feature request, but I’m told PPers are ignored with the same steadfast commitment ‘regular’ users are.
What’s more - if Otto appears with a user ‘work-around’ - you’d better embrace it, learn it, do it, 'cause if Otto’s doing it it’s very likely that’s the only way it’s ever going to get done.
Case in point - The Plex Dance®. There’s a user work-around to a bug so old and so prolific, it’s one of the few user work-arounds with a registered trademark.
You never know though. Make that ‘Feature Request’ or vote for one in progress. Nobody knows what Plex is going to do. They might like it. They spend most of their time developing things I don’t need - or want, for that matter - so run it up the flag pole and see if Plex salutes.
