Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 16:04:43 +0200 As it must be multi-platform, what's about starting a java project ? The only thing is that I think rockbox will not be accessible directly by usb because it's only recognized as an USB hd and rockbox entered in passive mode when plugged on USB... - tells you what version of rockbox you're running Difficult, if flashed -> impossible I think... - if theres an update available Easy if you log the version history - updates rockbox just a file copy for none flashed rockbox but more difficult for flashed one ( need an auto flasher on reload or on unplug if you want to automize it...) - what language(s) you're running I don't know if possible - handling of configs just file reading... - handling of WPS-files It can be a idea to integrate the wps editor applet - what plugins you have installed need to read rocks - right now I also see the need for a gui for descramble and uclpack, but that is maybe just a passing state I don't understand that point, sorry - im sure there are tons of other problems that this software could solve Yes, verifing mp3 before copying it on the archos hd, for exemple... or synchronizing archos hd with a local hd...
