[Gtkpod-devel] itdb_parse() and ipod_parse_artwork_db()

[Jorg S. <Jor...@gm...>]

Hi,

I've found a FIXME: comment in itdb_itunesdb.c and added my opinion right
there:

	    /* We don't test the return value of ipod_parse_artwork_db
	     * since the database content will be consistent even if
	     * we fail to get the various thumbnails, we ignore the
	     * error since older ipods don't have thumbnails.

	     * FIXME: this probably should go into itdb_parse_file,
	     * but I don't understand its purpose, and
	     * ipod_parse_artwork_db needs the mountpoint field from
	     * the itdb, which may not be available in the other
	     * function

	     * JCS: itdb_parse_file is used to read local repositories
	     * (usually repositories stored in
	     * ~/.gtkpod). ipod_parse_artwork_db (and the
	     * corresponding artbook write function) should probably
	     * be expanded to look for (write) the required files into
	     * the same directory as itdb->filename in case
	     * itdb->mountpoint does not exist. Because several local
	     * repositories may exist in the same directory, the names
	     * should be modified by the repository name.
	     */

What do you think? Doable?

I'd really like to be able to store the local repositories easily into a
local directory.

Cheers,


JCS.
