Hi there, Taking advantage of my (summer holydays, I started to (re)write a candidate official GUI for transcode, as we discussed some time ago.
The obligatory screenshot is here: http://tcforge.berlios.de/archives/2009/08/14/early_preview/index.html The code isn't public yet because it isn't much more than a stub, but as soon as it will do something vaguely useful, I'll publish on tcforge. Some quick facts/intentions - coded in python - dual license BSD/GPL - the toolkit is gtk+. I've nothing against QT (quite the opposite, I've a book about pyqt on my wishlist!), I just found some reusable skeleton code and liked it. - the GUI interacts with transcode using the socket interface. Maybe I'll extend it during the gui development - I'm investing as much effort as is possible to avoid to hardcode names/paths/data (e.g. avalaible modules, profiles...) into the code; The idea is to autodiscover as much as possible dinamically. - I'm learning how to use gtk+ and how to make GUIs into the process, so don't expect too much into the early relases :) Discussion & suggestions welcome Bests, -- Francesco Romani // Ikitt http://fromani.exit1.org ::: transcode homepage http://tcforge.berlios.de ::: transcode experimental forge
