Eschaton 0.7 feature beta

I am giving away exactly 1 unstable, test-UI version of Eschaton 0.7 to test a new feature of Eschaton on a computer that is not mine. I'll not disclose the feature but whoever tests can freely talk about it. I'd rather the program was not distrubted since it's very much unfinished but I'm very excited about this feature and want to make sure it works properly. I've already run into one problem with it and am trying to track down any others. I'm also using this as an opportunity to brag about the concert I went to last night.

The beta goes to the first poster to identify the band in the following pictures:

Nope. Feel free to keep trying provided it's not the spam shotgun approach.

Alt this is Epic, Tell me though, is Rebuilding with Eschaton Necessary after you import tags with Eschaton? (BTW The tag importation / extraction is very clever, and much easier than the HHK-HMT-Demo Hack Way lol.)

Yes. It's necessary to rebuild to do anything right now because the expand option loads all the data into memory similar to HHK. There are plans to add meta editing options to expanded maps and extracted tags, but it's still necessary to compile the map. The expanded map doesn't exist as a file which makes it easier to do things like add new data (mod2 imports without decrapping is a favorite of mine) but the tradeoff is that it has to be compiled and will eat up of lot of RAM. Good to hear you like it.

...Come to think of it, I haven't tried rebuilding a rebuilt map yet. Hopefully that also works.
