I have it running for about 24h now, continally playing on song (looped) -
hasn't crashed yet. I am very satisfied that it's rather solid! Wonder if win32
version works that well too... earlier versions would die somewhere in night...
looking like deadlocked.
quirks I have found but haven't had guts to enter into bugzilla:
Has anyone tried visions theme under linux? I think song title text is
one-or-two pixels too high. That ofcouse could be cured by aligning text
rectangle in theme, but somehow under Win32 it did not look that way. I think
maybe Freeamp/linux itself is rendering text that one-or-two pixels too high...
Magically 'Playlist' button does not functions (OK, that's because apparently
code responsible for firing CMD_PlaylistUI (or?) was for some reason removed
from FreeAmpTheme.cpp .... huh? Maybe in process of implementing 'Files'
button? 'Files' button rocks, though. It goes with visions theme better that
launching playlist ui.
I'll have 'Files' for the 'eject' button and 'Playlist' for the 'middle o
button (of those small buttons)).
**Robert** - care to update theme.xml for that?
By the way, I do prefer Playlist look of MusicBrowser.ui over the MusicBrowser
look.
Other bug that I addressed in Win32 (via Robert, that is) is the 'dupe
directory names' / and theme.fat files and their directory names (so called
Descriptive Names) both showing up in theme selection dialog box - that needs to
be brought into Linux' s ThemeManager.cpp.
I encountered some wackiness how visions.fat in how gets un-tgzipped
under Linux. (I created it with Cygnus' win32 tar/gzip versions, so it's
actually their fault). Also, the MakeTheme for some reason does not want to
read files if they are not writable. (say, owned by root and only readable for
others)
How does one debug FreeAmp under Linux?
I think I will try and see if I can implement KDE tooltips and docking into KDE
panel...
