Oi, hope you are getting better quickly (for your own sake, not for MPG's sake)

Good to see that you are so active here! Even though I wouldn't mind you slowing down, I don't want to push you with my comments!

My MyDocs/DCIM is empty because I save pictures on my SD card

Prestarting would be a good solution, or fully loading when MPG is started the first time and then keeping it in memory (could be an option so that every user can decide himself).

Getting rid of up/down is fine with me. Maybe a help screen that shows all commands would be good in the future

Everything else sounds great and I'm looking forward to the next version! But as I said before, take your time!

Edit: I can see the splash screen and it looks nice
