[Weekly Report] Week 6: Rhythmbox iPod/MTP Syncing.

[Paul A Bellamy <paul a bellamy gmail com>]

Sorry for not mailing yesterday, was driving all day.

Anyway, last week I was working on implementing a GUI, based on input on 
the previous mock-ups.  I will be continuing with that this week.  I had 
scheduled this week to be implementing the iPod code, but because I did 
my prototyping in the iPod plugin, I will have some extra time this 
week.  I will be putting that extra time towards the GUI interface 
(which needs it!).

Last week, I:
  - Set up a treeview for the preferences pane
  - Spent a while refactoring the RBiPodPrefs object, so that it can 
track the data needed for syncing.
  - Tracked down a few seg-faults in the treeview/treemodel/querying.

Todo, I have:
  - Implement Sync Preview
  - Set up "automatic" syncing.  Need to register a callback, for when 
the library is updated/ipod is loaded.

I've attached a picture of the GUI, so far.  I could definitely use 
input on it.  So far, the check-box by "Music Playlists" and "Podcasts" 
enables syncing of those (i.e. without "Podcasts" checked, no podcasts 
will be synced)  Should it disable all children when it is un-checked?  
Also, I think it would be good to have a "Sync All Music" and "Sync All 
Podcasts" options (if there is room on the device), but am not sure how 
best to handle that.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Paul
