[Rhythmbox-devel] some ideas...

[paul <appleseed-cast breathe com>]

hi there,
i'm running a cvs checkout from this evening, and it's excellent!
there are a couple of things i'd like to see in a future version of rb,
however.
one, is something that has already been mentioned on this list recently
- and that is the ability to have more than one list in the main/current
playlist pane.  i.e be ctrl-clicking two or more artists, all of the
selected artists songs would appear in the current list. i think that'd
be cool.

another thing is something that is already being thought about, and that
is how to deal with songs that are deleted from the library.  maybe
performing a check on the database on startup? maybe use fam to monitor
all the user-specified directories? i'm not sure which would be the best
method, but i think it's important to have this?

finally, something to do with the interface that i've posted before, but
didn't get any feedback.  the icon on the volume widget should really be
the same one that is specified in the users current gnome-icon-theme. 
it just makes sense to me for this to happen.  also, the volume widget
should behave a lot more like the gnome-panel one. i.e drag the slider
to the desired volume level, then when the mouse-button is release, hide
the volume slider.  at the moment, it takes too many clicks to set the
volume. 

thats it really.  i hope some of these points are useful for you.
thanks for all your hard work on the project...it's great!!
