Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 15:54:05 -0400 Jorg, I would say that I would not expect RB to delete any matching .talk file, just leave clean up to the user. A matching .talk file for play lists would be great too, and I guess a good compromise if you guys felt having .talk files would be too messy. I certainly would not mind remembering to delete any of that clutter when browsing through my unit in USB mode. Just my 2 cents worth as a user.

The number is probably not the best to use, if you insert/delete files it gets all inconsistant. I'd suggest the same name with a trailing ".talk". > I (and several others) could easily modify the script to do this if it > is ever supported by rockbox.

Currently, this is a plain mp3 file for the directory name. No indexing struct or anything. I don't like the idea of having a joint file with the folder content, for maintenance reasons. > There would, of course, have to be additional complexity in the > talkbox > code, e.g., error checking (what if user adds or deletes a new file and > doesn't update the .talk file?), See? It would be like having a second directory, without it being part of the file system. I can imagine to have at least playlists accompanied by a .talk file each, these are probably not so many. Technically, the same could be done for mp3 files, but be aware of clutter. The consistency problem remains. If you delete a file, would you expect Rockbox to delete the matching .talk file? Would you do the same from your PC in USB mode?
