Bug 523073 – Rhythmbox lacks an argument to launch it with "audio CD" selected instead of "Library" in "Source" panel http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523073 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: thibaut bethune <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 16 mars 2008 19:00 Subject: Rhythmbox & Sound Juicer : some thoughts about the extracting audio CD functionality in Ubuntu & suggestions to improve it To: ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com I'd like to discuss the way Ubuntu deals with the "extracting audio CD" task - Ubuntu 7.10 and before : inserting an audio CD launchs Sound Juicer (according to the nome-volume-properties GUI) - Ubuntu 8.04 hardy alpha 6 : inserting an audio CD launchs Rhythmbox. I'm in favor of Rhythmbox for performing that task. BUT, the Ubuntu Hardu alpha 6 situation could be improved in 3 ways : 1°) Sound Juicer should be removed from Hardy since Rhythmbox is the default system application to extract music from CD - no need for cluttering Applications menu. See Bug #202593 in sound-juicer (Ubuntu) on Launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sound-juicer/+bug/202593 2°) When inserting and audio CD, Rhythmbox should be launched with the GUI that shows the "Extract" button. Let me explain. Actually : - Rhythmbox has a contextual toolbar, which means that the "Extract" button is only displayed when you select the CD name in the "Source" panel. - But Rhythmbox is always launched with "Library" selected in the "Source" panel (even when an audio CD is inserted) - Therefore, when an audio CD is inserted, Ubuntu launches Rhythmbox with "Library" selected in the "Source" panel, and no "Extract" button visible by the user : the user doesn't know how to rip his audio CD. My suggestion is that, when an audio CD is inserted, Rhythmbox should be launched with current audio CD selected in the "Source" panel, to make the contextual toolbar in Rhythmbox matching the task the user expects. 3°) While ripping an audio CD, you can close Rhythmbox without be advertised that Rhythmbox is performing a task. User should be warned that closing Rhythmbox now will stop the current task. Maybe a confirmation dialog box could say : "You are about to close Rhythmbox while Rhythmbox is ripping a CD. Closing Rhythmbox will stop the current CD ripping" Thank you -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
