[Bug 62400] Re: Podcasts directory should be created when required
I just tested it myself with a fresh user profile on current Hardy, and it just defaults to the home dir. IOW, it does not produce an error, avoids unexpected "want to create dir" questions, and lets the user pick his favourite directory himself. Not too bad for now IMHO, at this point of the release cycle. ** Summary changed: - Podcasts directory should be created when required + proper default Podcast directory -- proper default Podcast directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 62400] Re: Podcasts directory should be created when required
I wouldn't consider podcasts to be music, and placing them in the Music directory would result in unexpected behaviour, e.g. podcasts being played when shuffling music. If we aren't providing a default directory for them, how about asking the user if it is OK to create the directory? -- Podcasts directory should be created when required https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

If we can't use wizards, then maybe we should just include a "Podcasts" folder in the Music folder. -- Podcasts directory should be created when required https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 62400] Re: Podcasts directory should be created when required
Doesn't gnome have a policy against wizards? i.e. it should just work? I don't use audio-podcast and I suspect a large group of rhythmbox users doesn't use it either. So they have no need for the Podcast directory. The thing is, if we create xdg-user dirs for all possible directories of all applications, the default home folder is filled with tons of folders. If we just stick to a few, like the current situation, some folders are not translated, others are, other programs need to ask the user wheter or to create it, etc. Perhaps for the long term, we should file a bug upstream agains xdg- user-dirs, do support on-the-fly creation of directories. That is: xdg-user-dir PODCASTS -- only returns directories that are defined with and that actually exist xdg-request-dir PODCASTS -- is it already defined? -- Yes: create if it does not exist, return path -- No: Ask the user, create the directory, return path xdg-gtk-request-dir PODCASTS -- same thing as xdg-request-dir but use GTK to ask the user xdg-qt-request-dir PODCASTS -- same thing as xdg-request-dir but use QT to ask the user Then it would be possible to use xdg-user-dirs to support _all_ user directories of all applications. Including directories for which no default is set in the locale. Some graphical tool to manage al that would be nice too. Perhaps that would merge nicely together with the "default application" capplet? Last note: shouldn't xdg somehow try to notice the user renaming those folders and updating its defintions? Is this even possible? -- Podcasts directory should be created when required https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 62400] Re: Podcasts directory should be created when required
I just tried it out on Gutsy,and surely enough I too received the error. Instead of an error appearing, I think rhythmbox should inform users that the directory doesn't exist, and prompt them whether or not they would like rhythmbox to make it for them. ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- Podcasts directory should be created when required https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 62400] Re: Podcasts directory should be created when required
Yes, the first time you launch rhythmbox it complains about ~/Podcasts not existing. Then, when you check the preferences, ~ is now used as Podcasts directory. What I think would be perfect behavior: - use ~/Podcasts by default - if it does not exist, change it to the default download directory (set with xdg-user-dirs) -- Podcasts directory should be created when required https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Well the bug is still open upstream so I presume it is still a bug. I'm running dapper so I can't check for gutsy etc. The duplicate bug #129033 was only reported in July 07 but doesn't say which release (however July 07 is unlikely to be Edgy and more likely to be Feisty). -- Podcasts directory should be created when required https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62400 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
