On the other hand, I understand not wanting to throw something really experimental into an official repository, especially if time is limited, so I can't get too irritated by this, but still. Wish all you people producing useful software would shove it into -devel as soon as it compiles and is packageable, and doesn't auto-self-destructs the device as soon as you install it.
+1. It's place is in -devel, really!

Reds, purples, and blue-greens, are really the only colors left unused by default, and anyone already modding their LED colors/patterns can easily adjust the patterns brought in by this package as well, if they don't like one of those colors as a default.
It should be editable via Led patterns editor package, just like any other patterns (after pattern is created initially, by program). Isn't it?

This behavior started after CSSU'ish update of ke-recv, that automatically handles mounting of attached things like microSD or USB storage. ke-recv in itself is great, but this file manager thingy is irritating, indeed.

I'm not sure, if it's how Maemo acts, when presented with new storage, or it is ke-recv feat, but it's definitely not related to this USB Mode, as it happens exactly same way with H-E-N.

Great work, Pali, thanks!

I wonder, is it exactly same implementation as in H-E-N, just integrated properly in kernel and userland + auto guessing speed, or something else was fixed during process, too?
