[ANNOUNCE] QPlaylist - A playlist editor
 

I have been tinkering with a simple playlist editor as a way of learning C++, Qt and Linux development. Right now it can create, delete and edit m3u files. Mp3s are browsable via their ID3 metadata.

Ultimately I would like it to be able to edit MAFW playlists too.

I will try and release to extras-devel ASAP.

Here are some screenshots:

I cant wait to try this once you have this package next week i have been waiting for this.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] QPlaylist - A playlist editor
 

Thanks for this. It's a great start.

Couple of quick points.

It takes a very long time to start up. I'm guessing you are scanning my music - I have a lot - some user feedback of this would be useful.

When resaving a playlist it seems to append to the existing m3u file rather than overwrite it. Can't say for sure what you are doing without looking at the source but I tried a few times and that seemed to be the observed behaviour.

cheers

While I will try and get this done asap if you dont mind starting it via the command line you can download the app from the link above.

I was sure I had tested that. Oh well. Ill fix it shortly.

It is scanning all of MyDocs and the memory card drive as well. I was planning on putting a loading screen there for the next release. Thanks for your feedback.

You're welcome.

Are you planning on bug / feature tracking here on this thread or on your garage pages?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] QPlaylist - A playlist editor
 

Ive added your two comments as bugs for my own conveniance. I imagine its easier for everyone else to just add to the thread. Im happy with that too.

Wouldn't it be more Maemo-like to use libtrackerclient0 for this job? As tracker caches the results, this would be much, much faster.

Thanks.

I didnt know about this. Once I get a bit of time I will definately use it.

I've created a fast icon drawing... but I must admit, it looks very ugly. :(

I attached it nevertheless. Perhaps as a basis for discussions. :)

Packaging my first application turned out to be trickier than I thought.

Version 0.2 is now available on the garage page though. As well as being, hopefully, properly packaged it also contains fixes for both of mr id's suggestions and uses Helmuth's icon.

I will upload this version to extras-devel as soon as I get a chance.
