Not as far as I know. It's for suggesting features (or apps) that either Nokia developers or community developers could choose to implement. Brainstorm is hosted on maemo.org (the community) not nokia.com, after all.

Although technically the N900/Maemo 5 does support multiple boot animation videos which are played one after another, how many users will really need or want to do that?

If the app uses multiple selection by default, you might confuse the Average Joe user, as they would likely expect the app to work with single selection (as with changing theme etc.). In other words, they would expect selecting a new animation would deselect the previous animation. Having to manually deselect the old animation as well as selecting the new one would be less slick than it could be, and if they neglected to do that and rebooted they would see two videos (both the previously selected one and the newly selected one) played one after the other, and be confused.

If people really want multiple videos to be played, then maybe have it as an advanced option...?

I see you concern but hopefully these multiple choices dialogboxes is easy to understand so that a mistake like that won't happen. Multiple choices is maybe abit "too much" for a feature like this..? if I understand it right you can add a normal images files too.. then maybe someone would liek to add a few.

I think it's a both a bit too much in general, plus a source of potential confusion, although I haven't used an N900 yet to see exactly how multi-choice things work.

If you add a few image files does it just quickly flick through them, or can the user set a time for how long to pause on each image? In any case, it doesn't sound terribly useful. As with videos, I can see the value in picking a single image for boot up, but not several.

I finally got gio file listing working with the applet (witch ended up taking me a week to accomplish - sorry

) - witch means that i can finally get a list of video files to display on the selection as items

I´m still working on getting it to filter out anything thats not a supported format and i had to temporarily remove thumbnail support until i get gio refined, witch should be done soon

next step: get it to save and write to the config file
