Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2003 23:48:00 -0500 The patch makes a lot of sense to me. I think as we get more and more plugins that the organization becomes necessary (we are almost at that point right now)... Everything goes where it seems like it should go, that is except for the Sokoban levels. I think that that should just be placed in the Games directory. It's wonderful to see a renewed interest in the rockbox software. I have bought and tried the ipod with the new software, the rio karma, the archos gmini, and the samsung napster player and they all fall short of the archos with rockbox. While many of them have bells and whistles, they don't do what the archos recorder with rockbox does best -- JUST PLAY THE MUSIC THE WAY WE WANT. Even the highly praised iriver ihp120 wants to be like the rockbox: http://tinyurl.com/tonl Now, is it time to get the bookmark patch and the playlist viewer patch into the main cvs yet? :D thanks for the awesome software. -eric HB> Hi folks, HB> I have submitted two patches on .rockbox organizing. These patches HB> should be considered as the basis of discussion rather than HB> something that I want committed to the cvs. However, the patches HB> are complete and no current functionality is lost (I think) HB> One patch (835897) takes care of the basic .rockbox files (.cfg, HB> .fnt, .lng and .wps), the other patch (835915) deals with plugins HB> (.rock). HB> After applying these patches the .rockbox directory structure HB> looks like this HB> /.rockbox/Configs : .cfg files HB> /.rockbox/Docs : rockbox documentation HB> /.rockbox/Fonts : .fnt files HB> /.rockbox/Languages : .lng files HB> /.rockbox/Rocks HB> /.rockbox/Rocks/Applications :application plugins HB> /.rockbox/Rocks/Demos : demo/screensaver plugins HB> /.rockbox/Rocks/Games : game plugins HB> /.rockbox/Rocks/Viewers : viewers/players, plugins bound to a certain HB> file extensions HB> /.rockbox/Sokoban : Sokoban levels HB> /.rockbox/WPS : .wps files HB> The rockbox browser is enabled to browse directories also for HB> plugins. This will make the code almost independent of the HB> directory structure with exception of the Viewers directory. The HB> Viewers directory is not shown when browsing plugins because the HB> plugins in there are supposed to be started by playing files. I HB> have chosen to hide the Viewers directory and the code, rather HB> than name it .Viewers, because I believe that the directory HB> structure under apps/plugins, /.rockbox/rocks and the build HB> directory should be the same. HB> Having said all this here are some questions: Should the .rockbox HB> directory be reorganized at all? How should the .rockbox directory HB> be organized? Does this effect the user interface overhaul? Does HB> the user interface overhaul affect this? How should the different HB> directories be named. Should the build directory and apps/plugins HB> mimic the structure of .rockbox/rocks? Where should files like HB> sokoban/levels.txt be placed?
