02:10:16Aevum3.1.4 : putting music on the player
02:12:37wodzwow, *that* should be in manual - on AMSv2 usb support in rb is disabled due to stability issues. You have to use OF to copy files into player
02:12:48saratogaits in the manual
02:13:38Aevummaybe it is and im an idiot
02:13:57Aevumits quite a real posibility at this moment
02:15:29wodzsaratoga: From what I see manual says only that OF firmware will be booted if it is powered by USB connection.
02:16:44Aevumor if you hold left while starting the device
02:17:29saratogaperhaps its disabled on the fuzev2 manual, let me grep

05:52:11[Saint]it won't be built automatically until it reaches unstable.
05:52:31 Part Transformer
05:53:10[Saint]If you want to help, set up a development environment, checkout the source, and compile it yourself.
05:53:31[Saint]then look for things that are within your ability to improve upon.
05:55:12hskfDeal. Is it on the same SVN repo as the others?
05:55:24***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
05:55:26hskfOr is that only for pushing builds
05:57:23[Saint]The svn repo contains the source for all ports, yes.
05:58:43[Saint]You'll need the a development environment (NOT CygWin), the Android S/NDK, and a JDK to compile RaaA.

09:20:19[Saint]as far as I know, dd'ing a firmware file there is not sufficient.
09:20:38[Saint]you're actually supposed to dd an image of the original FS, which you're suppsoed to already have.
09:22:28snooffy_[Saint]: ah... where can I get that?
09:22:35[Saint]ie, someone with a *working* player needs to do this same procedure (almost), and copy the image that exists on this partition.
09:22:58[Saint](this is how I understand it, anyway)
09:23:29snooffy_you are probably right, thats wha they say on that unbricking guide perhaps...
09:24:16[Saint]I'm pretty sure there won;t be an image of this available in any of the Rockbox resources, it wouldn't be legal to redistribute it.
09:25:04[Saint]If you can get hold of another working player yourself, just basically do the same thing up to a point, but copy the image off the working player. Should work fine.
09:26:05snooffy_but i guess i need to put that "workign player" to recovery as well right?
09:26:33snooffy_guys, anybody with sansa fuze v1 who could share their FS with me? :D
09:27:25[Saint]snooffy: Yes, you would have to put the working player into recovery also to recover the firmware partition image.
09:27:52snooffy_i will have to find someone than...
09:27:58snooffy_hopefully here:D
09:28:17[Saint]I _think_ dd'ing a patched fuzea.bin (patched with Rockbox) is enough to boot Rockbox, but not the OF.
09:28:24[Saint]that's possibly your middle ground.
09:32:03snooffy_sorry for a noob question
09:32:10snooffy_but what is OF?
09:32:15snooffy_eactly?
09:32:46[Saint]Original Firmware
09:32:53[Saint]the Sansa firmware.
09:33:09[Saint]fs-bluebot: .explain OF
09:33:10fs-bluebotOF: Shortcut for Original Firmware
09:33:26snooffy_thats what i thought..
09:33:32snooffy_so i patched one
09:33:48snooffy_dding right now..
09:34:36snooffy_ok done, nothig happend again...
09:35:21[Saint]after unmounting and cycling the power button?
09:36:54snooffy_sorry, but what do you mean cycling the pwr button~?
09:36:57snooffy_wow
09:36:59snooffy_hold on
09:37:02snooffy_it powerd
09:37:10snooffy_boot loader USB mode
09:38:20snooffy_Ok that got me somewhere
09:38:20[Saint]that sounds very much like the Rockbox bootloader, a good sign.
09:38:27snooffy_no blank screen anymore
09:38:30[Saint]Its still connected to the PC I take it?
09:38:38snooffy_now it is yep
09:38:51snooffy_when i have disconnected it it sayd mount 0 and panic
09:39:07snooffy_than please connect it to USB so i did
09:39:35 Quit Scr0mple (Quit: Leaving)
09:40:12snooffy_[Saint]: ok what should i do now? have Bootloader USB mode and connected to PC
09:40:25[Saint]Hmmmm...I have no idea what that is. Its definitely the Rockbox bootloader, which is a good sign, but how to remedy this I'm not sure.
09:40:33[Saint]WAs it patched with a release bootloader?
09:40:36[Saint]*Was
09:40:38snooffy_yes
09:40:59[Saint]Right, it might require an svn bootloader if you're running a current build.
09:41:28[Saint]that's just speculation, though. I seem to recall this issue being in the forums recently.
09:41:43[Saint]But I'm hazy on it and don't want to blatantly feed missinformation ;)
09:42:05snooffy_hold on, there is a difference, now the partition in fdisk -l has correct 4 GB

09:42:33wodzsnooffy_: use pastebin or something
09:43:26snooffy_I'll try sorry for flodding
09:43:57snooffy_if thats what you meant...
09:44:12[Saint]snooffy: Right, yeah...this has gone past my personal technical ability. When I trashed my Fuze this procedure just "automagically worked". Though the OF now no longer boots.
09:44:35[Saint]People seem to have varying rates of success with the AMS recovery, as quite little is actually known about it really.
09:44:50[Saint]Until fairly recently it was thought impossible to recover these devices.
09:45:14[Saint]s/fairly recently/about a year or so ago? soemthing like this /
09:45:55snooffy_do you think would be wise to try to create a partition?
09:46:42snooffy_i would try to use rockbox utility, but it needs a folder where the fs is mounted, but how can i mount something which doesnt have a valid parittion?
09:46:52[Saint]I really don't know, sorry. Someone more familiar with the Sansa needs to comment there. I wouldn't want to lead you astray after at least getting the thing *partially* working again ;)
09:48:33snooffy_underestand..
09:48:49snooffy_thanks a lot, at least it get me somewhere else :D

10:19:29[Saint]That's great. I might use your experiences here to update the Sansa AMS recovery wiki
10:19:47snooffy[Saint]: have to check it if it plays etc...
10:20:02[Saint]just to add an "if you can't get hold of an image of the original FW partition" option.
10:21:06snooffywhat i exactly did was I've patched the original one like this ./mkamsboot fuzea.bin bootloader-fuze.sansa patched.bin
10:22:12snooffythan ddaed the patched bin in to the device, than removed usb, it booted to "USB boot loader" and i could see 4GB in fdisk -l
10:22:34snooffyso I've created a fat32 partition, and loaded the rockbox
10:22:38snooffythanks god :D
10:23:36[Saint]That's basically exactly what I did to recovery my Fuze, but I used Windows and for whatever reason I did not have to reformat the partition. It "just worked".
10:23:53[Saint]I'm very glad for you, though. This is valuable info for others.

12:13:52gbl08maI'm trying to design my own convttf GUI wrapper... it's not that I'm unfamiliar with the command line, but converting many fonts using purely the command line is tiring...
12:14:01wodzI am looking a bit into porting espeak to rb and I am wondering how weird would it be to port it as a codec? tts needs to load ~420kB of data into memory (dictionary, phenomes, etc.). Than it would process stream of text. What oddities may I expect with such an approach?
12:14:37gevaertswodz: it would prevent using it from the UI while playback is active
12:14:55gbl08maaren't codecs expected to play/pause, ffw/rw, etc.? a tts engine isn't supposed to do these things
12:15:25wodzgevaerts: how is that? .talk files are speex so where is the problem?
12:15:42gevaertswodz: .talk files don't use speex as a regular codc
12:16:00wodzhmm
12:16:07gevaertsThey use a special built-in version
12:17:09wodzgbl08ma: ffw/rw may be simulated by seeking in text stream passed to tts
12:18:14wodzhmm so maybe plugin as a first step is better

12:56:19linuxstbBut I guess in terms of a UI, a user may want to see the text itself, not the WPS...

14:56:28*JdGordon gives up trying to get testers
15:00
15:03:06[Saint]Well, that's a piss poor attitude ;)
15:03:22[Saint]I know the patch is old, but recent development/testing is young :P
15:04:10[Saint]I'm trying to see what in my tree is fucking it up now, I did a clean svn head build, with nothing but that patch and it still messed up which threw me off the trail...but I needed to run make reconf.
15:04:37[Saint]So, now I find that svn head builds/works as expected I'm trying to see whats messing it up in my local changes.
15:05:42JdGordonwell, im done
15:05:51[Saint]I can't really say a hell of a lot more than "yep, it works" though really.
15:06:08[Saint]I don't know the many, wide and varied ways that people use playlists.
15:06:45AlexPJdGordon: I did!
15:07:06AlexPJdGordon: Incidentally, related to but not on this patch, the playlist/plyalist catalogue menu items
15:07:30AlexPI know they are for different things, but they are related, and it isn't terribly obvious where you should look for things
15:08:17AlexPe.g. if you load something from the catalogue (even if you know what that is - it is called "Playlists" on the main menu), you might think that you should be looking under the playlist catalogue menu and not playlist for stuff
15:09:24JdGordonAlexP: I'm open to suggestions to rename th menu items, but they shouldnt be merged
15:09:29[Saint]seems wise to just chuck the "Playlist Catalogue" entry in with the sub-entries under Playlist"
15:09:31 Join Thra11 [0] (~thrall@87.115.107.103)
15:09:35AlexPJdGordon: Why not?
15:09:39JdGordon"Current Playlist" and "Playlist catalog" perhaps
15:09:47AlexPYes, that'd help certainly
15:09:48JdGordonbecause they are very different functions
15:09:57[Saint]Ah, yes. That would help.
15:10:00AlexPAt the very least they need renaming
15:10:22AlexPAnd in that vein, the main menu option should maybe be Playlist Catalogue

15:10:51[Saint]dammit, just about to push enter on a long-winded version of the same statement ;)
15:10:53JdGordonI dont know if that is required
15:11:11JdGordonbut OK, if that gets general approval
15:11:12AlexPHaving the same thing referred to under different names is bad
15:11:16AlexP(mmmkay)
15:11:18[Saint]I think it would be suited to the patch. The function of the menu item has changed a lot.
15:11:20JdGordonsimple to change
15:11:37*JdGordon adding the context menu items to change the cat dir
15:11:43AlexPbut anyway, that can be separate
15:11:45AlexPcool
15:12:11*[Saint] stops the current round of builds, reverts stuff, and waits ;)
15:12:22[Saint]I assume its getting committed soon-ish?
15:13:04AlexPJdGordon: I do see your point about not merging, but I'd be much in favour of renaming the two options
15:13:28AlexPThe "currents" can be removed from the items within the context menu in that case
15:14:09JdGordon[Saint]: soon as in the next 45min hopefully
15:14:36JdGordonAlexP: doing that is slightly annoying
15:14:41JdGordona whole new set of lang strings
15:14:54AlexPI think it's worth it
15:15:23AlexPWell, not removing the current maybe
15:15:34AlexPbut rename plyalist to current playlist anyway
15:16:43JdGordonthats easier
15:17:19JdGordonif the next release is 4.0 we should use the opportunity to remove all the deprecated strings, and then adding half a dozen more isnt a big deal
15:17:39AlexP3.10 is the current plan, unless there is anything major
15:17:44JdGordonand given the new mixer i think there is no reason to not do that
15:17:55AlexPPossibly
15:18:18AlexPSpeaking of which, I should fill in the calendar
15:22:00[Saint]3.10?
15:22:07[Saint]why not 4.0?
15:22:13JdGordonAlexP: I tihnk quite a bit of the manual will be outdated by this change, no?
15:23:13AlexP[Saint]: Because a major version bump implies a major change
15:23:34AlexPJdGordon: Yes, probably
15:23:42AlexPJdGordon: I'll have a look
15:24:02[Saint]I thought historically releases jumped the version by .1?
15:24:08[Saint](except for point releases)
15:24:09AlexP[Saint]: exactly
15:24:14AlexP3.8, 3.9, 3.10
15:24:16AlexPetc.
15:24:23[Saint]I don't think I've seen a X.<greater than 9>
15:24:25AlexP3.11, 3.12
15:24:32AlexPWe haven't got there yet
15:24:47AlexPBut of course there are - look at something like gnome

15:25:27JdGordonwell, it will be 10 soon
15:25:28AlexPJdGordon: And you've hated each one :)

15:25:42AlexP10 follows 9
15:25:57AlexPthey are two different numbers, not decimal places of one
15:26:16AlexPMajor release 3, minor release 10
15:27:12gbl08maTalking about that, how many changes (or other criteria) would be enough to release a 4 major release?
15:27:31[Saint]doesn't the radically new playback stuff count as "major" in this case? (not trying to make myself right, heh ;))
15:27:59[Saint]I did assume it was a decimal number, though...no idea why.

15:28:25JdGordonyeah, I would think the new mixer would easily be enough to justify it
15:28:31AlexP[Saint]: Possibly
15:28:58AlexPI'm not discounting 4.0 if people think it is enough, just saying that 4.0 doesn't follow 3.9 :)
15:29:01gbl08maI think "radically new playback" is what was explained on some ideas for GSoC, putting videos as "normal" playback files, introducing video codecs, etc.
15:29:03TorneWe could just do what everyone else is doing at this point and decide that major releases are not a thing (outside of things that need to be API/ABI compatible with other things) and just call them 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, etc
15:29:05markunjust saw a video where rockbox was mentioned for 1 second :) http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/552391/head-fi-tv-episode-005-q-a-questions-and-answers
15:29:16gbl08maIMO that would be enough for a 4.0 release
15:29:29AlexPgbl08ma: We haven't done those things
15:29:38TorneThere's no real reason to say that any one release is qualitatively different from another
15:29:42markun5:30, about an ipod DAC
15:29:45gbl08maAlexP: I know
15:29:47Torneother than bugfix releases
15:30:19gbl08maTorne: you're talking about only major version releases like Chromium always did, and Firefox is starting to do?
15:30:23AlexPI'd prefer the current system to a major one each time
15:30:25TorneYup
15:30:28 Nick Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 (~Strife89@207-144-19-39.cstel.net)
15:30:36AlexPWith 4 month releases the numbers get massive very quickly
15:30:46gbl08maI prefer using the minor version numbers on my projects too.
15:30:50TorneAlexP: It's about to get massive anyway
15:30:56AlexPTorne: ?
15:30:58Torne3.10 is just as many characters as 23.0
15:31:04AlexPI didn't mean in characters
15:31:13AlexPIn actual number
15:31:18Torneyes, but that clearly doesn't matter
15:31:22Torne:)
15:31:26AlexPIt is a matter of preference
15:31:32AlexPI was just staing mine
15:32:08AlexPThere is no more reason to do 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 etc than 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 etc.
15:32:12gbl08mawell, if we never release 4.0, and keep increasing the minor version number in 3.x, then we'll get an enormous number after 3. Like 3.156 :)
15:32:25AlexPI would hope to get to 4 before that :)
15:32:30Torne3.141.59.2
15:32:33Torne:)
15:32:42AlexPWe aren't trying to buy patents :)
15:33:13AlexPBut anyway, I have no preference on 3.10 vs 4.0 if people think the audio mixer deserves it :)
15:33:21gbl08maand from a certain point of view, it will look like between 3.0 and 3.10 there were only small improvements, while 3.0 is a completely different thing from what 3.10 will be, or what 3.9 already is.
15:33:33Torneyah, that's kinda the reason
15:33:53Tornethe difference between the "minor" releases may not be much, but within 3.x loads of stuff has changed
15:33:57*gbl08ma thinks 4.0 deserves a new theme. getting tired of the cabbie one...
15:34:15AlexPYeah, you could just say the major number changes when cumulatively it is far enough away from the previous one
15:34:39TorneAlexP: Right, but then that seems weird somewhat too, since the difference between 3.9 and 4.0 is little ;)
15:34:45AlexPgbl08ma: Feel free to design and write one for all screen sizes :)
15:34:49AlexPTorne: yeah
15:35:00TorneOnly having major.bugfix establishes that they are just numbers for releases
15:35:11Tornerelease 11 comes after release 10 and before release 9, and that's all it implies :0
15:35:14TorneEr
15:35:18TorneOkay it doesn't imply that
15:35:23AlexPheh :)
15:35:28Torneunless you have a very strange idea of numbers
15:35:32Tornebut you get what i mean.
15:35:38AlexPjust about :)
15:35:39gbl08ma(well, I never tried 3.0, but when I started using RB there was 3.6 and I find it to have a big difference from 3.9)
15:35:50Torneit's why fedora, chrome, firefox, etc are doing it
15:36:04AlexPThis time round anyway, maybe the cumulative changes + the mixer means enough has changed for a 4.0
15:36:19TorneI wouldn't object to 4.0 this time even if the next one was 4.1
15:36:25AlexPyeah
15:36:27TorneI generally find numbers like 3.10 kinda ugly
15:36:42AlexPI find the idea of 26.0 ugly :)
15:36:54[Saint]I'll just have to make sure that every time X.9 rolls around that I encourage a major commit to bump the X so I still get my way :D
15:36:56AlexPbut that is besides the point for this release
15:37:02AlexP[Saint]: :)
15:37:03TorneAlexP: it won't show up until 2018, though :)
15:37:15gbl08maI think numbers like 3.10 confuse newbies (and newcomers), it might be confused with 3.1.0 also.
15:37:25AlexPTorne: We ought to out chrome chrome and release every week :)
15:37:31JdGordonAlexP: [Saint]: http://imagebin.org/163998 is the main menu "Playlist Catalog"'s context menu...
15:37:34TorneYah. Purely from a practical POV, a lot of people really do not understand major.minor
15:37:45JdGordonim not sure if its title should actually be changed
15:37:49gbl08maDo you really think Rockbox will survive until version 26.0?
15:37:53gbl08ma:)
15:37:56Tornethey confuse it as gbl08a says, which is not a problem as long as you *do* bump the major often enough :)
15:38:06[Saint]gbl08ma: Sure, why not?
15:38:11AlexPPeople are stupid :/
15:38:33AlexPIt doesn't matter in this case, I'm just wary of the people don't understand argument in general
15:38:47*Torne shrugs
15:38:50AlexPYou keep making it easier for these people and in the end it is useless
15:39:04TorneAs you said, it ultimately doesn't change anything either way
15:39:15AlexPindeed
15:39:22TorneThe only time when it really matters is if you are, say, a library which has a no-backward-incompatible-change policy
15:39:34AlexPJdGordon: Could you give me a brief summary of the patch changes (just bullet points or something) and I'll have a bash at the manual
15:39:37TorneIf we were doing something like that we should've gone to 4.0 when we broke the WPS syntax :)
15:39:42AlexPyeah
15:40:01AlexPTorne: We'll get another opportunity for that, JdGordon wants to break it again :)
15:40:03Tornebut the wps syntax is not a big enough deal imo. we just don't have any interfaces we really need to preserve ;)
15:40:27AlexPTorne: This might become more important with librbcodec
15:40:31TorneAlexP: Indeed
15:40:46TorneBut then I would generally have the library's version number be something independant
15:40:55Tornespecifically so that it could track interface changes
15:40:58Torneand nothing else.
15:41:01gbl08ma[Saint]: well, I was kidding, but anyways my message led me to a thought: DAPs that only do audio like the ones RB supports are going to be discontinued in a few years probably because of suppression by smartphones, tablets, and other shiny gadgets... this means RaaA is the future?
15:41:02AlexPYes, it would need to be I think
15:41:12AlexPgbl08ma: We already think that
15:41:25[Saint]JdGordon: your changes there are fine, IMO
15:41:32TorneYou don't need to know the library version number unless you are developing an app, so users don't need to see it
15:41:41Tornethus it doesn't matter if it makes sense to them
15:41:47AlexPgbl08ma: http://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2010/02/15/the-rockbox-future-is-an-app/
15:42:00AlexPyeah
15:42:29[Saint]its made me think the "Start Filebrowser at /" menu item should be in the Filebrowser context menu, though.
15:42:42gbl08maI'd love RaaA much more if I had an Android device (I'm stuck with WM and this old HTC Universal)
15:42:55JdGordon[Saint]: it is there....
15:42:57Tornethe usual one for libs is major for backward-incompatible changes (and also changes soname on *nix), minor for new functionality that doesn't break compat, and revision/bugfix for non-interface changes
15:43:15[Saint]JdGordon: re-read.
15:43:21[Saint]filebrowser, not playlist.
15:43:33JdGordonyes, as i say, thats where it is
15:43:51[Saint]oh...then its in two places.
15:43:58[Saint]which is confusing and sucky.
15:44:02AlexP[Saint]: Bottom item when context on "Files"
15:44:04JdGordonwhere else is it?
15:44:18[Saint]its in settings - general settings - file view.
15:44:28[Saint]bottom item.
15:44:49JdGordonAlexP: tbh, I think one of the weaknesses of the manual is that it tries to explain the menus and UI more than actually explaining how things generally work...
15:45:35[Saint]so I guess the settings - general settings - file view - start filebrowser at / item can piss off, but that'd be a seperate commit.
15:45:36JdGordone.g I'd expect a chaptor on playing music, a chaptor on using the vairous playlist options, etc
15:45:38AlexPJdGordon: Possibly, although with plenty of our menu items they need explaining
15:45:58JdGordonyes, they are neede also, but they shldnt be the whole manual
15:46:03AlexPAnd that'd be a major major rewrite that I for one am not planning to do
15:46:08AlexPFeel free though :)
15:46:11JdGordonbut anyway, yeah, ill put up a list of what i remember changed

15:50:00AlexPJdGordon: Coolio :)
15:50:37gbl08maHonestly, I don't think the audio mixer changes are enough to call a new release 4.0, because there's no evidence to the end user that a new audio mixer is present (to me, RB just sounds like before). for now, it's a behind-the-scenes improvement, and most users would not notice a difference between 3.9 and 4.0...
15:51:02JdGordongbl08ma: thats because you dont know what it fixes
15:51:12JdGordonthe uber-long standing bug where you cant do voice while paused
15:52:01gbl08maThat's *one* bug.
15:52:25gevaertsIt was reported about 2514 times I think
15:53:00JdGordonthat *one* bug is more than enough to bump the major number
15:53:05gbl08maThat's *two thousands, five hundreds and fourteen* bugs.
15:53:17JdGordonplus i think this playlist change is very long overdue
15:53:32gbl08maIt would be the RB release with more bug fixes ever done
15:53:43AlexPIt was a massive bug that voice/paused one, in terms of numbers of times it was reported etc.

15:55:37***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
15:55:56gbl08maThe new audio mixer means that, theoretically, we could play two audio files at the same time (assuming two codecs can be loaded at the same time, and a plugin handles the playback of the 2nd file)?
15:56:10JdGordonyeah
15:56:37JdGordoniiuc the playback engine does that with voice+playback anyway, swaps codecs quickly to do it
15:57:10gbl08maand that we can have fancy sound effects on rb->splash?
15:57:16AlexPJdGordon: the voice codec is build into core I thought

16:29:20JdGordonshould the quickscreen fix today be considered a major change for the stupid bug that they were ever there!
16:29:45AlexPEnhancement maybe :)
16:29:56AlexPIt wasn't really a bug, just a silly option
16:30:03JdGordondefinitly a bug :)
16:30:35gbl08maIndeed that quickscreen change might fix many "bug" reports about RB not showing all files, not allowing track changing (only adding to playlist), etc. etc.
16:31:17gbl08maand it's a silly option only if we think people are going to hit the quickscreen accidentally (not something that happens with me)

16:40:02[Saint]FS #12075
16:40:04fs-bluebothttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/12075 Add timeout to quickscreen (patches, unconfirmed)
16:40:32[Saint]"On noes! more settings!"...but, useful.
16:40:54JdGordonI wouldnt hold your breath... we dont like screens changing without the user realising
16:41:13[Saint]well, they have to specifically set it, it defaults off.
16:41:43[Saint]so its a conscious decision to use it.

16:42:52gbl08maA setting to come back to the WPS after a certain time would be better IMO, because if we only apply it to the QS, people will start asking: what about a timeout on pitch screen? what about a timeout on pictureflow? what about a timeout on <insert valid (or not) rockbox screen here>
16:43:01*JdGordon finds another bug worth fixing
16:43:26[Saint]gbl08ma: why return to the WPS?
16:43:36[Saint]you may not have entered <screen> *from* the WPS
16:43:51gbl08maIIRC some people already asked for such a timeout
16:44:18gbl08maalternatively, we can add the QS timeout and another WPS timeout...
16:44:24[Saint]the quickscreen is the only screen that's particularly likely to be entered accidentally.
16:44:43[Saint]returning to the WPS after <foo> I doubt will ever happen.
16:45:10[Saint]the QS has a *slight* chance, if argued well enough...even then, very slight.
16:45:36gbl08maI think it's easier to accidentally do a quick press on the WPS and go to the main menu, than a long press and go to the QS
16:46:07[Saint]yes, ok...granted. But how do you know if the pres was accidental or not?
16:46:34gbl08masame with the QS: people may enter the QS propositatedly
16:46:39gbl08ma*on purpose
16:47:10[Saint]you wouldn;t want to exit the WPS and have it throw you back there because you spent a bit too long deciding what album to play.
16:47:31[Saint]It'd be a lot less anoying in the QS imo, as that's generally designed for *quick* actions.
16:48:32[Saint]I might also like to start playback and keep the screen in the database/filebrowser.
16:48:33gbl08maI'm not saying return-to-WPS timeout is better than QS timeout. One only replaces the other if you access the QS from the WPS. At the same time, I agree that two time outs would be confusing...
16:48:42[Saint]its unlikely anywants to stay in the quickscreen.
16:49:14[Saint]*anyone wants
16:49:49gbl08mayou never know, people may fall in love with that four directional arrows pointing to settings, and admire it for hours... nah, joking :) I'm not a big fan of timeouts in small devices like the DAPs Rockbox supports.

17:06:59[Saint]I guess *anything* is possible....but, embedded AA is the Devil.

17:08:18gbl08maembedded AA would save me probably more than 50MB of disk space, because most of my music is OGG and I need to use separate images to have AA
17:08:26[Saint]the only need I could see for embedded AA is if you had one folder that contained your entire music collection in individual files not seperated into Artist/Album
17:08:45[Saint]embedded AA wouldn;t save you anything.
17:08:59[Saint]you know that the art is duplicated, and added to each file, right?
17:09:09[Saint]you'd LOSE space.
17:10:05gbl08maI have most of my music collection in individual files not separated into Artist/Album. And yes, I know embedded AA is added to each file. Just didn't think of that
17:10:22gbl08mathe only thing it would save is the size of the list of files in the file browser
17:11:04[Saint]if you make "folder/cover.jpg hidden files, and put the show files option to "supported", you won't see them.
17:11:06[Saint]fixed.
17:11:40[Saint]*folder/cover/<track_name>.jpg
17:12:46gbl08maThe problem with "supported" is that, on other folders, it hides files I want to see. that's also why some newbie users made bug reports after accidentally changing that setting on the QS, now it's solved.
17:13:40[Saint]what files does it hide that you want to see? It should, in theory, display any file extension you can forseeably do anything useful with in Rockbox.
17:15:47gbl08mafiles I might want to edit with the text editor, for example. or when I want to delete essential files when I'm bored and willing to break Rockbox, before unzipping a new build... :)
17:16:07gbl08maalso hides README files, etc.
17:16:44gbl08ma(sometimes the iPod acts as temporary pendrive, or when I want to read things on the go, although for that now I use my phone)
17:16:46[Saint]all files the text editor can open should be displayed, if not, I'd call that a bug. The latter is a specific use case that would warrant changing the view setting, imo.
17:17:46 Quit mdipolt (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
17:18:01Torne[Saint]: the text editor can open anything
17:18:05Torneso that doesn't really help
17:18:47[Saint]Ah...hmmm. (You can tell I don;t really use the text editor on my DAPs, I'm...well, not insane ;))
17:19:41gbl08maI don't use it much either. It's more for doing quick edits on theme files without needing to connect to the computer again.
17:21:27[Saint]that, to me, would be a use case rare enough to warrant changing the file-view setting from supported to all.
17:22:18[Saint]If all extensions the text viewer can open are listed in supported, I'd say there's no problem (with newfound knowledge the editor opens everything).
17:22:44gbl08maI think the text viewer open everything too...
17:23:10[Saint]basically as I said, every file you can forseeably do anything useful with (in normal use cases) should be listed under supported.
17:24:32*gbl08ma rethinks on the huge file list issue on Music folder due to AA files
17:25:36[Saint]My solution for that is to make them hidden files (in Windows), and use the "Supported" view.
17:25:58[Saint]but, I only get a single "Folder.jpg" per directory. Not a huge list.

19:04:13AlexPAnd I bet I coud find a user to say anything was broken
19:04:39AlexPIt isn't a question of confirming it
19:04:55pixelmagbl08ma: I'm just referring to the principle, what you describe sounds like a bug
19:05:14gbl08mayes, I was talking about the bug
19:05:24AlexPWell that bug isn't the point
19:05:40pixelmathat the playlist would be stored in the music directories not the catalogue
19:05:48gbl08maafaik no one said the old behaviour was broken. the only thing broken to my knowledge was the function to view a playlist from the file browser
19:07:01gbl08maAbout the behaviour, I think (my own opinion) the correct approach would be to eliminate the catalogue as it is now, and let playlists be created in the music's folder. the catalogue would be implemented in a different way:
19:07:52gbl08mathe database would scan for playlist files and display them together, and that would be RB's playlist catalogue. That's how things should work, IMO of course.
19:08:07AlexPNo
19:08:13AlexPIt shouldn't be tied to the database
19:08:29 Quit krazykit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
19:09:31gbl08maThen how do we make the playlist catalogue show all playlists in the device and not just those inside /playlists?
19:09:40AlexPYou can do that in addition
19:09:56AlexPI don't object to having the database show all the playlists on the device
19:10:30AlexPBut I strenuously object to having the database forced on me
19:10:41AlexPPart of the great attraction of Rockbox is not having to use a database
19:11:31gbl08maI think playlists in the DB is an interesting feature. Not that I use playlists much, but I have a few created. But, I agree that perhaps that shouldn't replace the playlist catalogue...
19:11:52AlexPthey definitely shouldn't
19:12:04AlexPI don't understand why people are so keen to force others to use the database
19:12:40gbl08ma(I don't use the database much, but I find it useful for certain things, e.g. play stats)
19:13:01AlexPI don't need to be told how often I listen to something
19:13:37gbl08manor do I, but it's nice to have. Of course, I could live with the DB disabled.
19:13:54gbl08mathen again, how will playlist catalogue show all playlists in the device and not just those inside /playlists?
19:14:02AlexPIt won't
19:14:17gbl08maisn't the playlist catalogue meant to show all the playlists on the device?
19:14:21AlexPNo

19:16:05AlexP/playlists IS the playlist catalog
19:16:10AlexPIt has existed for ages
19:17:34gbl08mathen, some of the JdGordon's (I think was who commited the changes) changes need to be reverted.
19:17:40AlexPwhy?
19:18:34gbl08mait will create all the playlists on the playlist catalogue and this is not intended, or is it?
19:18:52AlexPyes
19:19:25AlexPWell, by default
19:19:34AlexPYou can chose to put them somewhere else if you want
19:20:46gbl08maIIRC JdGordon's change was to put the playlist saving text input with "/playlists/" as default text, to ease saving of playlists
19:21:03AlexPyes, into the catalogue
19:21:08pixelmaAlexP: is ther also the choice to have it in the current playlist item's directory and not one set directory?
19:21:16AlexP(you can change the location of the catalogue)
19:21:37AlexPpixelma: I don't know - you can of course type it in, but I don't know if there is an option
19:22:13AlexPI feel a bit sorry for JdGordon - he first sent emails about this patch in November last year

19:54:54gbl08mabtw, did the manual get updated with JdGordon's changes? I just tried the latest build, the playlist part has some different things (no matter you like them or not) that must go in the manual...
19:55:06gbl08maanyways, seeing as this is still being discussed...
19:55:28saratogayeah i tend to agree with kugel, its pretty hard to get people to review anything, and theres inevitably someone complaining after major commits
19:55:44***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
19:55:53saratogaso i tend to think its best to commit eventually and then fix things once people start complaining
19:56:37kugelwhat annoys me a bit is that we have exactly this discussion over and over
19:56:37 Quit mdipolt (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
19:56:48 Quit domonoky1 (Quit: Leaving.)
19:56:48AlexPgbl08ma: [19:23:08] <AlexP> And I haven't got round to the manual changes
19:57:07pixelmakugel: I don't expect anyone to wait for me but two days are too few to me... sure you could discuss if it was two days or more here, that's why I would like to see some rules
19:58:10kugelthe mail is almost 3 days old
19:58:21kugeland I'm sure he came up with this thing earler
19:58:24kugelearlier*
19:58:45pixelma2 or 3... still not a week which I would have found approriate
19:59:12gevaertsIt's not 3 days. It's 8 months
19:59:12kugelpixelma: you should at the very least say "hey, I don't currently have time but I want to have a look so please wait a bit for me", but that didn't happen
19:59:12saratogahasn't these changes been in the works for months?
19:59:28kugelI don't think such a mail/post/whatever is too much too ask for
19:59:28AlexPsaratoga: Since November
19:59:41saratogaheh
19:59:42pixelmagevaerts: I already state what I think about that
19:59:52pixelmaanyway, doesn't look like anyone knows the new behaviour enough to answer my two questions about it... so
20:00
20:00:04AlexPThat the tracker is irrelevant?
20:00:09kugelwell, when the patch was opened doesn't really count if there's half a year of inactivity
20:00:18gevaertskugel: why not?
20:00:23pixelmaAlexP: I didn't say tat
20:00:24pixelmathat
20:00:26pixelmaat all
20:00:34kugelgevaerts: because everyone has forgotten about it
20:00:45gevaertskugel: what if he had committed it back then?
20:00:45AlexPBut stuff being on the tracker for ages doesn't count?
20:01:16kugelafter such a long time of inactivity the rules should be the same as for newly opened tasks
20:01:19saratogai guess it depends how much changes right before its committed
20:01:39gevaertskugel: why?
20:01:50saratogai remember people complaining that i didn't discuss the power button changes after i got almost everyone i could think of to agree to them and then left them on the tracker for 5 months while i asked even more people
20:01:56kugelgevaerts: because everyone has forgotten about it
20:01:58kugel;)
20:02:11saratogasome peopel still complained that they weren't warned which was absolutely ridiculous
20:02:34pixelmaAlexP: no, but to me (and as I said before), especially controversial feature( change)s and that's what I think it is, should go to the ml (and have some rules about it :\ )
20:02:54kugelwhat's controversial is controversial :)
20:02:55AlexPThis is partly a problem with there being so much dead stuff on the tracker, it hides other things
20:03:00gevaertskugel: it's been on the tracker all along. It's *extremely* easy to go and look at new patches every week or so. If people don't do that, they don't get to blame people who put the stuff there
20:03:19kugelpixelma: it didn't appear this changes were controversial
20:03:23kugelnot to me, that is
20:03:32saratogaits not hard to watch it!
20:03:36saratogaexactly, we have a subscribe feature and an RSS feed for the tracker
20:03:47pixelmaI look at *new* items in the bug or patch tracker, just not old ones anymore
20:03:58saratogai skim every new task posted to the tracker, takes like 5 minutes a day
20:04:06AlexPWe can't adapt to everyone's way of working
20:04:08kugelyes, but even if you deeply looked at a task 6 month ago, it's out of your memory now
20:04:11pixelmakugel: seen the discussion with Llorean?
20:04:15AlexPPeople have to adapt a bit too
20:04:26kugelso the notice about new activity is equivalent to the notice bout a new task
20:04:27AlexPkugel: Then you should have subscribed to it then
20:04:31gevaertspixelma: did you comment on it when it was new?

20:04:58pixelmagevaerts: no, but I didn't understand what it did exactly
20:05:03saratogaare we talking about a reviving a dead task and rewriting it, or just committing something that was left mostly done on the tracker for comment?

20:05:28kugelsomething in the middle
20:05:49saratogai'd say if the features change siginficantly it needs an email and a long wait
20:05:54pixelmaI still think the original description is lacking quite a bit about actual consequences of the change
20:06:04saratogaif the implementation is improved but the features don't, then i don't think that matters
20:06:09AlexPhence testing being a good idea
20:06:50pixelmae.g. what happens with the existing "alongside files" playlists and if it is still possible to save any such easily
20:06:55saratogait seems like if you're watching an area of code (say codecs, playlists, wps) its pretty reasonable to subscribe to FS tasks concerning that area and maybe even comment on them
20:07:43saratogaif you have months to do so and did not, then its mostly ones own fault when its committed without one reviewing it
20:08:12saratogasomeone with SVN access putting something on the tracker basically says "i want to commit this, take a look at it before I do"
20:08:47saratogaif someone doesn't comment after a length of time, its reasonable to think they don't have an opinion
20:10:52pixelmamaybe there is an item for this new catalogue folder item "current (file's) directory?
20:11:05pixelmacatalogue folder setting
20:11:43gbl08mayes there is a setting, it works very similarly to the "start filebrowser here" setting.
20:11:58AlexPgbl08ma: That's a setting for which dir is the catalog
20:12:06AlexPgbl08ma: pixelma is asking something different
20:12:15pixelmawell that would be one fixed directory
20:13:14gbl08maI keep on re-reading pixelma's sentence and I think what she means is what I explained, but certainly I'm wrong. letting the discussion go on...
20:14:07AlexPgbl08ma: She wants an option that lets you select whether to use the catalog, or to save the playlist in whatever directory the files you have added are in
20:14:20AlexPgbl08ma: i.e. not always in the same directory
20:15:23gbl08maI see. that setting would render part of this discussion unnecessary...
20:16:22gbl08mawhat RSS feeds does Rockbox have exactly? only the tracker one? is there any to indicate new releases and such? and more importantly, is there a list of these?
20:17:28bertrikthe tracker has several ones, like most recent entry and most recently modified entry
