[Mixxx-devel] GSOC14 Cover Art Support Idea understanding

2014-03-09 Thread khyrul Bashar
hy,

I need some better understanding and information related to Cover art support 
project Idea in gsoc14. 

There are three requirement for this proposal two of them is about collecting 
album art(one from local sources another from internet). And the other one is 
about showing album art.

i have read almost all the launchpad link attached with it(idea description) 
and the links in these thread and come to know this is a long discussed issue 
in MIXXX. GUI part of library-table have got focus several times  for redesign. 
because when talk about cover art feature two question arises why we implement 
this and how? 
answer of why affects how. I think cover art feature is considered in MIXXX 
because of Visual memory recall of DJs. if it is so then we must implement 
this feature in a way that will actually change the library layout. 
So does Deciding where and how to display the cover art in the GUI. mean i 
have to redesign library layout of MIXXX? 

and another query is, gsoc13 had this project also and one student had made 
some effort on this(I've seen his mock-up design in launchpad thread). as i see 
this project again this year might be because of unsuccess of last year. so 
what was the lacking of last year?

your regard

It means you should describe and/or make a mock-up how you imagine covers to
be best displayed in mixxx. If you think we can't display covers with our 
current
library layout you should argue why not and how it should be changed.
It is always useful to do some research and checkout what other DJ programs (eg 
Traktor,
Visual Studio, ...) do.
This tip is also helpful for any project you want to apply to.

 and another query is, gsoc13 had this project also and one student had made

We had people applying for it last year as well but did not choose to work with
because other proposals were stronger. You can check on melange what projects we
accepted last year.
