Hi, I just finished a file called metadata.py. This file includes a basic Info class, all items should use as item.info. This Info includes mmpython info, not saved variables (like variables parsed from fxd files) and saved variables for this item. Right, you can now save any kind of information for an item, as long as it's based on a file or a disc. It's not possible to store informations for created items like movies from fxd files. I will think about how to add it.
How does it work? Similar to the mmpython cache (which is now inside freevo), the data will be stored in the parent directory in the overlay in a file called freevo.cache. This is pickled data, you can't read it. As example I converted the AudioParser. It now doesn't write folder.fxd files, it adds the info the the freevo.cache file. This is a better solution, because now you can have two kinds of audio information: one in the cache written by the parser and the second in the folder.fxd. In most cases, you don't need the folder.fxd anymore. Delete it (makes it faster). If e.g. the album information is wrong, you can set the information in a folder.fxd to the correct value. So basicly: folder.fxd for something I write, the cache file for something a script writes. Simple as that. But there is more: two more examples are the auto bookmark (adding resume to the video item menu) and the video variable 'deinterlace'. This informations are now stored inside the freevo.cache. So if you like, you can also store 'last played'. Test it and send comments please.
