Hi guys ! It's a really interresting discussion. I would give you my point of view. As Fabiano said, there is some essential programs missing in E World. What i would like, would be a viewer for each kind of media. Something really light for quickly look at the content of a media. For PDF, photos, videos, most of the time when I browse my files, from command line or from a GUI browser I launch a program like eog of evince and quit it just after. But sometimes I need to work on a specific PDF file, all the day, and need to add some annotations, comments, bookmark pages, zoom, rotate pages .... For photos, i have to import them, on my photo library make some albums, and it's the same for music, or videos. IMO we should developped/improved : ephoto/enki : ephoto for the view of one photo at a time, and the preview of a directory. And Enki for a complete library, import photos from cameras and so on... Something like iPhoto maybe. envision/epdf : or whatever the names : one for just view quickly some pages and epdf, bigger app with every kind of features. If we could have the same look and feel for each applications i think that it could improve usage of E17 a lot. Another approach i have think about , is what i could called a 'Desktop Enna' I mean about a media browser application, that can use the applications above to play media, and a common interface based on a library to organized files and list them. If you are interrested in such kind of approach let me know, give me your feedback, we could maybe begin to write specification of such programs, to have something really sexy. To finish, When we were in RMLL with all guys of #e.fr we have talked a lot about the lack of programs for E. And when people arrived to ask us about EFL applications, we didn't have a lot of things to say :), even if we have good commercials boys in the team :P This problem in mind i have began to write during this weekend a video player application, that plays one file, and nothing else. Maybe something in the same way of KISS applications of Gustavo, but maybe a bit more complex to write. I think that such viewer on top of efm could be really cool. I wait for your comments.
