Hi, I'm Rob van der Linde, I'm new to this list... I'm a developer myself, doing bits and pieces myself to help with Open Source where I can.
Anyways.. I have setup a few people with Ubuntu Linux, most of these people are not exactly computer savvy. One of these people used to use a slightly older version of Rhythmbox in Ubuntu Dapper, and when she wanted to copy a CD, Rhythmbox used to launch Sound Juicer, she had no problems editing the album/artist/genre information before she hit the extract button with Sound Juicer... Now that I've upgraded her to Ubuntu Edgy, which comes with Rhythmbox 0.9.6, which has a built-in CD extraction tool. The extraction tool works no problem, but it wasn't exactly the most user friendly in the world for the average computer user to edit artist/album/genre information just before the extract button was hit, not as easy as it was with Sound Juicer anyway. The current process with Rhythmbox 0.9.6 would be: Insert CD Start Rhythmbox Click on CD on the left A list of track shows User has to press Ctrl+A to select all tracks Right click when all tracks are selected and click properties Change artist/album/genre Hit the copy button. Now the step that I though was a bit too difficult for the average user is the fact that the user has to press Ctrl+A to select all tracks, right click to bring up a context menu, then change the artist/album name. There must be a better solution, without having to use the Ctrl+A key on the keyboard, or even having to right click. Would it be possible to add a few GtkEntry fields for artist/album/genre just above the tracklist before you copy a CD, and when you type an album/artist/genre in these GtkEntry fields, maybe even update the tracklist display on-the-fly to reflect what you type. That way, the user does not have to use the keyboard method mentioned above. It's just an idea, maybe there is a better solution? _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
