Package: abby Version: 0.4.3-1 Severity: minor When launched, abby presents the user with an interactive dialog asking for the locations of the cclive/clive binaries. This is unnecessary; the package depends on "cclive | clive", so it should simply try "cclive" (wherever that is on my $PATH), and fall back on "clive" (ditto) if cclive isn't available.
Likewise, if I cd to down/here/where/my/videos/go and invoke abby, it's annoying to need to tell it I want to store the downloads in /home/jbr/down/here/where/my/videos/go when my $PWD already provides a perfectly good default (falling back on $HOME if not available). If you don't want to do that, there's the alternative of following 'http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec-latest.html'. By all means allow these defaults to be overridden by environmental variables or config-file settings or Preferences menu-items, but please do not turn downloading videos into a quiz on the FHS. Incidentally, does anybody know why "abby" is called "abby"? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30.custom Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages abby depends on: ii cclive 0.5.0-2 lightweight command line video ext ii clive 2.2.5-1 video extraction utility for YouTu ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-1 GCC support library ii libqt4-network 4:4.5.2-2 Qt 4 network module ii libqt4-xml 4:4.5.2-2 Qt 4 XML module ii libqtcore4 4:4.5.2-2 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.5.2-2 Qt 4 GUI module ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 abby recommends no packages. abby suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- JBR Ankh kak!
