If I ever have time to spare, I have some ideas and want to try them out to do with the freevo user interface. My home install I have modified parts of freevo to work in what I (and my wife) consider to be a more intuitive way. Of course this is a pain when I upgrade as I have to re-do my changes :) One day (in some mythical future where I have spare time) I intend to put together a re-worked set of controls as a patch and submit it for comments but I don't really have enough time right now. I tried to comment on this as a faster route that waiting for me to have time to learn python better and code a patch, but recieved negative responses from the list, prehaps I just don't know how to phrase my posts well enough ;). I figure a working patch that people can try out would be a much easier way to explain what I mean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
