[Rhythmbox-devel] Seriously, really, you've got to be kidding...

[Jeff Rose <rosejn gmail com>]

One of the big things I was looking forward to with the recent Ubuntu 
upgrade was the latest rev of Rhythmbox.  Thanks for making a handy 
music app that just works.  I have been using it daily for a couple 
years, with a big old library of tunes, podcasts, an mp3 player, etc. 
So first, thanks!

Ok, so the reason I wanted the latest version so bad is because I was 
just sure that this dialog box that pops up multiple times every time I 
start the app would be fixed.  No, don't search for a codec to be able 
to play txt files, or images, or whatever else you don't understand. 
How is this not fixed?  I've looked around and it is an extremely 
typical complaint, and at least for the others I asked around in my 
office, it was a reason many don't use the app.

I (we) have a single request.  Please, pretty please, can you let us 
turn off this maddening dialog???  Whether it turns off for a single 
file type, or forever, really doesn't matter.  Just let us see a list of 
what isn't playing somewhere so we can try to figure it out, and stop 
annoying your users daily with this dialog spam.

Peace,
Jeff
