Though the script is probably useful for many people I believe that in GNOME we have a general consensus that technical details should not be exposed to the user, whenever possible. That also includes file formats such as OGG, FLAC or mp3. If a requirement to convert a format does come up (e.g. through hardware player constraints) the applications that interface with this hardware should be fixed to automatically convert the format accordingly, so that the user is not confronted with the format at all. Thus, I believe your script is a great enhancement, but it should not be included in the GNOME default release for the above reasons. -Samuel _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
