Re: Status update for the maverick applications selection

I asked about this on the Banshee list 2 years ago, and was told that Rhythmbox tags are wrong and I just need to retag 10's of thousands of existing files this is not practical/acceptable to me and I don't see how it will be to anyone else! Can you point us to where this was discussed? A lot has changed with Banshee's metadata support in the last two years (with about everything in Banshee, really), so this might no longer be broken. Or if it is, we can reconsider a compatibility shim. I tested the latest Banshee in Maverick, and I still see 20 or 30 copies of the same album with 1 track in each... exactly the situation I pointed out before and was simply told to go away.,,., Where were you told that? (Bugzilla, or mailing list, or? URL would be great). We generally have quite a friendly, helpful community, so I apologize you weren't responded to in a helpful way.

It appears those screenshots were outdated. Quoting Ars Technica [1]: When we posted screenshots from the design documents yesterday, the placement of the window titlebar buttons in the Metacity theme proved to be one of the most controversial issues. Many of our readers expressed that they disliked the button arrangement and positioning along the left-hand side of the titlebar. The critics will be pleased to learn that the titlebar buttons are located in their usual place on the right-hand side in the official theme packages.

You can now resume complaining. Gabriel -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
