Hi. As per $SUBJECT. We need an official GUI bundled with the official package, as mplayer or handbrake (www.handbrake.fr) do.
Besides the usual, well known issues, we hit yet another problem: My GUI building skills sucks really bad. So, some help would be really appreciated. So far, I've collected the following thoughts. - Mixed feeling about frontend (talking to transcode using [a powered] socket interface). I'd like a native application, but if nothing else will come up, an official frontend would be nice too. - The GUI should be coded in C or in C++. We're already full of dependencies, so I'm really reluctant to add new _core_ dependencies (modules are a different story) unless necessary. If the GUI will be in C or C++, that's another point _against_ a frontend and in favour of a native approach. - I've little experience with gtk+, none with QT. So, I've a little bias towards gtk+. If I'd to maintain some code, I'd like it would be in gtk. Anyway, I'm not against QT... If someone volunteer to (help to) maintain it :) Discussion very welcome. -- Francesco Romani // Ikitt http://fromani.exit1.org ::: transcode homepage http://tcforge.berlios.de ::: transcode experimental forge
