Re: [Banshee-List] Feature request: Stop when finished permanent

[Frank <funtastix googlemail com>]

I'd wait a second, to see what the maintainers say. it's a different
approach to implement a banshee patch than to implement an extension
(Maybe a good place to see would be #banshee in irc.). I could make an
extension like that for you in 10 min, are you able to compile it, if
I give you basic instructions? I would base it on Banshee Community
Extensions, but not commit it there for now, but rather put it in a
clone on gitorious.org.
