FW: GSOC-2013 Proj- PMC rel. queries
Dear sir/mam,Please went through the below forwarded mail which is in continuation to what Sinny mam had presented her views on my earlier ideas. In my last email, I have mentioned 2 more improvements so I request you to please give your feedback to me. Also, I apologize for not sending my past e-mails to plasma-devel.org. Thanks and Regards,Saurabh Jain From: saurabh...@hotmail.com To: ksi...@gmail.com Subject: RE: GSOC-2013 Proj- PMC rel. queries Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2013 15:26:41 +0530 Thank you. All music, All pictures and All Videos are still not working on my system even after reinstalling the nepomuk packages. When restarting the nepomukindexer, I get the following error in the end- Error: /var/tmp/kdecache-saurabh is owned by uid 1001 instead of uid 0. I will try to resolve this issue with nepomuk community. Yes, shuffle mode is working well and mistakenly I pointed it out as missing. What I would like to point out is once you have created a playlist, you cannot rearrange the existing order of songs to the desired one. The only way, which I found, to do so is to create an another playlist from the beginning. One more improvement which I would like to mention in Pictures section is that in presence of proxy server, picasa is unable to connect to the google account or to load the pictures. Also, pressing the tab key after entering the email id in google account section does not move the cursor to next section, i.e., password textbox. Keyboard does not seem to produce any output in some other situations as well.

Yes, you were right and I did deviate from the main point as I used the software and liked the idea of building such an application and therefore I thought more in enhancing and incorporating new features in it. I forgot to mention some of the improvements, which I think, can be done in this application. The open with menu option which I mentioned in my first mail also needs to be improved as the user can see this application in the above menu but due to lack of functionality provided on the back end, the user does not get the desired output response. +1 I like this idea, this need to be implemented. Improvements in following sections can be:- Music :- Search engine (in Songs, Album, etc.) does not seem to work at all. I tried searching for a music which is also there in the playlist but did not get any results (neither did it respond with search failure nor with song found). Improving the song search can have an alternative if sorting feature is introduced by virtue of which user can sort the albums, songs etc according to their names. Player can be enhanced with modes like repeat, shuffle, etc. and reordering of songs in the playlist is also not there. Ummm, For me search works fine for Artist, Album and songs works fine but yeah, it doesn't display message when search result is zero. Shuffle works in Playlist. Repeat option can be added. Sorting of media is needed on the basis of different field like size, date, name, length etc. Pictures:- Again, clicking on All Picture does not produce any results. Every time if the user has to view the pictures, he/she has to browse the pictures in the folders first and then load it. Further, just like we have the option to select some files and play them only, in a similar fashion, we can have option to select some pictures and then view them via slide show. I guess, your Nepomuk indexer is not running or maybe haven't indexed your picture directory. Check with that then All Picture will work fine. Yeah, we can think of viewing selected pictures in slideshow. Videos:- The full screen mode toggle button can be added into video section so that the user can directly watch the video in full screen mode. Also, many a times, it happens that the user downloads the subtitles of the movie which he/she wants to watch as the movie is not in his/her native language. For eg. if the movie's name is abc.avi, the subtitle's file is renamed to abc.en.srt in order to view the subtitle along with the movie in media player. The plasma media center is unable to show the subtitles when the movie is being played. Earlier Full screen Icon was in Media Player but it didn't fit well there so we moved it into configuration section in HomeScreen. Yeah, Video subtitle doesn't work for all possible subtitles file. Right now it works only for ffile with filename.srt file. It needs to be improved to work with all kinds of subtitle files. Kindly review the points mentioned above and please

Hi Saurabh, Nice to see your interest in Plasma Media Center, find my comments inline. Also, you don't have to use sir/madam etc in your emails, just use people's names to address them :) On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 3:53 PM, Saurabh Jain saurabh...@hotmail.comwrote: Dear sir/mam, Please went through the below forwarded mail which is in continuation to what Sinny mam had presented her views on my earlier ideas.
