Linux Video Converter for PSP

Hiya!

i've got a few "nice to have" features i'd like to submit but don't want to
open a separate request for each one...


First, the relatively minor requests:

#1: Persistent directory for Open operations.
When selecting a file for conversion, it would be really convenient if the
directory was persistent, such that the next Open operation starts in that
directory. Having to re-navigate to the vids directory is a pain in the
butt, especially because the GTK file dialog is so awkward to use.

#2: Ability to select output dir, in case source dir is read-only. (My
videos are mounted on a filesystem which not all users have write access
to.)

#3: The ability to select an arbitrary name for converted videos. My PSP
does not request names like "M4V#####.mpg". Maybe older firmwares did, but
current ones do not. My PSP allows me to use any filename, and as long as i
put the videos in the VIDEO folder then it can play them (assuming it's in
a supported format).

#4: When creating a thumbnail, use the name FILE.JPG, not FILE.THB (or
THM?). The current extension does not work on my PSP (3.51 firmware, if i'm
not mistaken), but renaming it to FILE.JPG does.

#5: accept file:// URLs in the Open text field. When dragging a file to
that field using Konqueror (and probably when using Gnome's default file
manager), it drops the file's name with file:// prepended. Then, upon
clicking Convert, an error is thrown because it doesn't recognize URLs.
Dragging a file to the filename field is more convenient than using the
file selection dialog, though (see above, point #2).


Now the bigger ones:

#6: Batch conversion. The ability to select multiple files and convert them
in batch would be really cool, so we could leave videos to convert over
night.



If pspvc was written using Qt i would have already started to add some of
these features, but i'm not at all familiar with GTK (and don't really want
to be, to be honest ;).
