Re: [Banshee-List] Updated MTP DAP patch available...

[Patrick van Staveren <trick vanstaveren us>]

Naturally, this would be the desireable path to follow, good idea.

I know that with MTP I might run into one issue with a generic  
detection - unlike ipod or mass storage where the actual file can be  
stat()'d, the file metadata info that I can read off a MTP device does  
not include it's modification date...thus we'd need to make the date  
comparison (like you've talked about on bugzilla with the mass storage  
duplicate handling patch) optional.

Like I said, it'd be a step in the right direction...let me know if  
you've tried anything out based on the base Dap class and we can  
collaborate.  Maybe I'll write up a patch tonight...
