Delete Multiple Files
5 Nov 2008 8:09am GMT Again, school keeps me busy and away from solving issues, but here's the most recent thing I've been working on.(Yes, the dialog isn't at all final, I just put it there as a placeholder)A few collections like the MP3Tunes service, and the local collection, are actually able to delete tracks already! They just... have no GUI to make it all happen. Devices like iPods and MTP devices can delete too, but only one track at a time (far from optimal). So I'm working to bring this ability to all...
Media Devices Applet
7 Oct 2008 6:23am GMT To control connection/disconnection of media devices, along with advanced functionality such as the stale-and-orphaned feature for iPods in Amarok 1.4, some kind of GUI is needed. One of the discussed long-term ideas is to add functionality into the root item of a treeview, which has its merits in terms of simplicity. However, imagine that you plug in your device, and want to connect to it. The collection would have to be present in a kind of dormant state in the collection browser until you...
"Absence," Akademy and Devices
26 Aug 2008 2:22am GMT So I apparently haven't blogged in a month. Sorry about that, it's not that I have nothing to say, just that I'm usually busy doing that I don't really take the time to talk about it. That said, I'll still keep this short as I myself like to read short blurbs from people who aren't well-known.Akademy. Awesome. Of course I got to meet a good amount of the Amarok people I often talk to, which was the highlight of the trip for me really. It's one thing to discuss over IRC, and quite another...
MTP File Management and iPod Covers
27 Jul 2008 4:24pm GMT So MTP file management (copying/deleting) has gotten implemented, and works well on all 3 devices I tested on. Still a lot of polishing left to do as far as interface goes, and some threading to not stall Amarok at key points, and it should be good to go. One thing I'm having issues with is copying files directly from an MTP to an iPod and vice versa, but will investigate this later as this is a bit more advanced.So, I had a bit of an epic struggle with a few things over the last day or so. ...
MTP Support Arrives
25 Jul 2008 3:50am GMT Caption: 2 MTP devices connected, and songs playing from iPodThis is a bit overdue, but initial support for MTP devices has arrived. To use it, you require limbtp >= 0.3.0 installed on the system, and a device supported by libmtp of course.Part of the reason this took so long is that I'm starting to notice a lot of potentially reusable code, and will probably soon refactor to reflect this. MTP devices are strange beasts, because their filesystem can't be directly accessed. As a result,...
