Sounds like a simple solution. So to recap: 1) moblin-media package will contain a few samples (recommend: 2 pics, 1 song (short), 1 video) 2) when run, moblin-media will check for ~/media/ folder (any reason to hide it with .media?) 2a) if no ~/media folder, then create ~/media/photo, ~/media/video, ~/media/music and copy over sample content Question: If we were to create a separate moblin-media-sample-content package, where would it install its contents? How would these get into ~/media for the installing user given that installation is always done as root?
