Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Reuben Thomas (rrt) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Better directory support Initial Comment: A user asks for support for playing a directory, and for treating missing handlers as a warning, so that for example playing an album would ignore a JPEG album art file with just a warning. (Debian bugs #552305 and #552306.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Reuben Thomas (rrt) Date: 2013-02-02 15:17 Message: I agree, that to handle directories is not SoX's job. Users should use a program like xdg-open that uses the right program to launch a given format; also it would be possible to use a filter that finds only audio files in a directory and open them one at a time. Perhaps it's worth saying this to [email protected]. I'm unsure about the other bug (ignoring files for which SoX has no handler). Partly I think that is a useful quick-and-dirty way to use SoX; partly I agree with play foo/*.{mp3,ogg,wav,...} but then where does one stop with the list? How would it be to do as the user suggests and issue a warning rather than an error in this case? If you go: play foo.speex # unsupported format then you'd still get a message saying the format is unsupported, so that doesn't harm the user experience for that common case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jan Starý (janstary) Date: 2013-02-02 13:30 Message: I don't think it is so'x job to traverse directories trying to figure out "what could I possibly play"? Can the user simply do 'play album/*3' or whatever? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=360706&aid=3197380&group_id=10706 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
