Feature Request #1: Generic content name. My website posts "Messages" and not
"Songs". Is there anyway of consistently changing the string "Song(s)" to "Message(s)" or any other value (e.g., "Lecture(s)", "Media", etc) This would enable gnump3d to work cleanly with non-
song content. (Hey, music shouldn't have an exclusive lock on MP3!)
Sure, you can edit the templates and change "song" to "message", "lecture", etc. They can usually be found in /usr/share/gnump3d/

presuming you're using the "Tabular" theme, it would be /usr/share/gnump3d/Tabular.

change Song(s) to Message(s)



Chris,

Sigh!

It so happens I am using the "Tablar" theme, and already made the changes you suggested.  But it was still 
necessary to edit gnump3d, gnump3d-index, and gnump3d-top to change the "hard-coded" titles they print out 
from "Song(s)" to "Messages(s)".  If you don't edit these files the statistics and directory 
listings contain an inconsistent mix of Song/Message titles.  Would be nice if the themes and/or config file 
consitently carried the titles throught the web page dished out by gnump3d.

Having said all this, the number of occurances of the title "Song(s)" in these 
modules was small, so it seems like it would be relatively easy to put these title 
strings as parameters in the gnump3d.conf config file or theme files.  (Yeah, easy for me 
to say ;-)).

The obvious problem I now face is having to re-edit everything the next time I 
upgrade!

Folks were talking about adding new language translations to gnump3d. Perhaps *all* the text variables of the various languages could be moved to these language files. Then you just create a new language file and call it Messages with the text you want.
