a) I'm not convinced it IS quicker to use the shell. When it comes to searching my library of music, I use rhythmbox because it's a lot faster to find and queue in a playlist using it, rather than command-line utilities and bash scripts. A LOT quicker. If I could just right-click on a list and say "send to device" *and have it work* I'd be a happy person. b) Regardless of whether the shell is superior or not -- it still shouldn't be this hard to have a simple MTP transfer work from a GUI! Having work-arounds for unix hackers isn't a valid excuse for putting MTP functionality into an app and then ignoring bug reports for over three years. I know, I know, I didn't pay anything for the app and can't reasonably expect any minimum level of functionality. It's just frustrating that it seems like there's barely any improvement from year to year. </rant> _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
