hi guys, Jorg, this evening I compiled my gtkpod with the right libgpod version and it works. The only things I now get are: - Save changes complains that "opening /mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesSD failed for writing".. it doesn't say why it fails (maybe you can add the errno string there?). But I just read that you'll be getting rid of writing that iTunesSD for anything but the shuffle (mine's a 40gb 4th gen.), so maybe this is a non-issue now. - When I load my ipod, it says: "iTunesDB '/mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB' does not match checksum in extended information file '/mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB.ext' gtkpod will try to match the information using MD5 checksums. This may take a long time." It then checks some stuff.. but i get it every time I start gtkpod. Apart from this, I can download mp3s to my ipod, so i'm happy, just though you might like to know this.. Thanks guys! jozef kruger |

Was discussing this in reference to the init_ipod function which is used to recreate the directory structure on a blank ipod.

I could imagine it's not because the writing of the iTunesSD failed :-( What system are you running on -- if it's an Apple, e.g., we might have big/little endian issues. Cheers, JCS. |

Hi, I just updated my libgpod and gtkpod. >Can you download the new version and let us know what error is reported? well.. now the error has disappeared.. no clue why. when i now look at my Device/SysInfo file, it has actually written the model number (ModelNumStr), something that wasn't happening with the previous version. >Hmm.. can you check whether your iTunesDB.ext gets updated? I could imagine >it's not because the writing of the iTunesSD failed :-( >What system are you running on -- if it's an Apple, e.g., we might have >big/little endian issues. I'm on fedora core 5. now the error at loading the ipod also has disappeared (where it checks all md5 checksums). so at the moment everything works fine.. so my issues have been resolved. thanks a lot for that! regards, Jozef Kruger |

Hi again, I just discovered the "remove all tracks from ipod" when I right-click my ipod (my ipod's name in the playlists view). This scares me to death (compare it to a furby with a big button on it's belly saying "push this to kill me instantly", for lack of a better comparison). I think it's a good idea to hide this option somewhere deep inside the menus, far away from a single right-click. Now I'm pretty new to this mailinglist, so I'm not sure how you guys handle requests like this.. should I enter it in a bugzilla somewhere? (I just tried the feature request tracker, but sf is down for maintenance). thanks for your patience. Jozef Kruger |

I'll add a run-time option "-chickenheart" that will remove this menu. > I think it's a good idea to hide this option somewhere deep inside the > menus, far away from a single right-click. OK, I've just committed a patch that puts it in a sub-menu "I'm sure" -- and even after that you still get asked if you are sure, and then you still have to save the changes manually before your iPod gets wiped. I think that should be enough. > Now I'm pretty new to this mailinglist, so I'm not sure how you guys handle > requests like this.. should I enter it in a bugzilla somewhere? (I just > tried the feature request tracker, but sf is down for maintenance). I don't like the feature tracker anyway (too much hazzle removing unwanted entries ;-) ) -- just post it here or send it to me directly. Cheers, JCS. |

I've added the errno (g_strerror(errno)) to the error messages. Just a request: next time please use copy & paste when reporting error messages -- it was not easy to find "Opening of '%s' for writing failed." in the source. Can you download the new version and let us know what error is reported? > - When I load my ipod, it says: > "iTunesDB '/mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB' does not match checksum > in extended information file '/mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB.ext' > gtkpod will try to match the information using MD5 checksums.

Hi, something I'd like to be implemented in gtkpod is sorting the tabs (artist, album, genre etc). A typical use of this for me would be to fix typos in names for example.. especially when your cdripper found the info on cddb it's often in a different format than you'd wish. right now i'm looking into the source (display_sorttabs.c).. but I just started learning gtk (have experience with qt), so maybe some of you have good ideas of how to do this the right way.. if so, please let me know.. thanks, jozef |

Hi, after playing around a little, i came up with this patch: diff -r1.85 display_sorttabs.c 2998c2998 < gtk_tree_view_set_headers_visible (GTK_TREE_VIEW (treeview), FALSE); --- > gtk_tree_view_set_headers_visible (GTK_TREE_VIEW (treeview), TRUE); now, after applying this, I can sort my columns in the tabs, however, when i click a column things don't react exactly the way they should.. (hard to describe, the selected tab doesn't show, but the previous or something like that). Also, could you tell me how to send you patches the way you prefer them? I don't have much experience with patch yet. Thanks guys, Jozef Kruger |
