This is a skinned way of selecting a file (white on black, and for me much harder to read with tiny text, but usable) and either immediately playing it, or adding it to the playlist.
I guess that the "there is no MRL" error message when xine starts up without a file is intended to prompt people to use the MRL browser. Still no progress in working out why a particular commit broke the "Open -> File" processing, but the situation isn't as broken as I thought ;-) ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
