I dont know how the thoughts go, but initially my guess is that installing Rockbox would be a onetime thing, then you just use it right? But I can see how its getting more and more complicated... and how people maybe tend to not see how easy and swift rockbox is... So I propose the making of a small desktop tool that connects with your rockbox and does these things: - tells you what version of rockbox you're running - if theres an update available - updates rockbox - what language(s) you're running - handling of configs - handling of WPS-files - what plugins you have installed - right now I also see the need for a gui for descramble and uclpack, but that is maybe just a passing state - im sure there are tons of other problems that this software could solve I can see how this tool potentially can explode into meaningsless functions, and me too is a follower of the minimialistic, but I think we all share some needs that can be automated. A solution would be to make it work with plugins, like the Jukebox sync tool for PC; cant remember its name right now. OK, now its thrown out. Is it a stupid idea? I know I myself would use it many times a day... But we need to sort out the needs, its easy to think everyone share our needs, but we're the geeks, updating daily... /Svante Received on 2003-07-16 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
