Re: [Banshee-devel-list] New Community Extension "JustPlayFiles" to solve bgo#634717

[Frank <funtastix googlemail com>]

For anyone not following on the bug, I've gave Chow's idea a try and I
like it so much better, that I have proposed a patch for the FSQ in
bugzilla

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634717

instead of committing the new extension.
