https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/wik...?id=304&type=g

all your pending questions are answered there, for example BUTTONS+ICONS:
https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/wik...&id=304&type=g

Please be aware that the screenshots still show the "old" skin (derived from 1.0.7), the new green skin+icons were just added VERY recently and makes the documentation look outdated, but the functional descriptions do fully apply.
Thank-you, Thank-you......!!

Well... I never installed Python runtime using application manager. What must have happened is that somehow some application (Kagu? that should be the only app on my tablet that requires Python) did install Python runtime or some libraries without my knowledge? As I said, when typing python in xterm it show that it is installed there somehow.

However, Python is not shown in application manager as installed application. I can see Python 2.5 runtime in installable applications. This is how it should behave IF Python wasn't installed yet...

In my case it spent 5 to 10 minutes looking for album art. I got the impression it found some, but none is shown...nor are the artists names...just the song titles. Perhaps there is a limitation with wma's?

Otherwise the look is very polished...love the kinetic menu.

One other comment. Looks like the developers took a page from the Nokia book. Tiny ambiguous icons which you have to click on to figure what they do. The control icons should be bigger and include pop-ups to tell you what they do.

Audioworld: As follow-up to your most welcome and useful wiki, I have one further need for clarification:

Regarding the button that cycles between "Linear, Loop All, Loop Singular, or Random playback," what do these mean? Again, Many thanks.

I'm a big fan and this is a great update.
But... I'd prefer a brighter color for current item highlighting. The dark green is almost imperceptible at a glance. Any chance of getting an option for that?

Also, a count of songs in the playlist on the playlist screen would be great. And/or an easy way to jump to the beginning/end of the list.

Found a slight problem. I'll probably file a bug report later, but Kagu seems to leave a rogue mplayer process running at 100% CPU usage on my n800. Kills my battery after an hour or two. I JUST found out after finding my battery almost dead a second time.

[QUOTE/] ascherjim; How do you delete a playlist? The new version now has a separate (and welcome) listing of playlists (some of which it has initially extracted from some obscure(?) file source in my N800). [/QUOTE]

Trevarthan: Further to my above earlier query, concerning the apparently "obscure" file source from which was derived the initial listing that appeared in my new Kagu "playlist" category, after my installing and scanning the new version of Kagu, I have subsequently discovered that it's a copy of my "/home/user/MyDocs/.sounds" directory. Short of my deleting that directory, which I do not wish to do, how can I remove those items from my Kagu "playlist' listing?

Any chance there will be a shuffle all music option in the next release? I feel it's the only thing missing with Kagu. Also, what do you use to download the album art. It works great and I want to use it on my main computer also. Thanks!

ascherjim, hawkfanz,

SHUFFLE ALL is already implemented, from the top menu of KAGU do this:

1) doubletap on "All Songs" main list entry
2) tap on "Add All" Icon on the left side
3) tap the "Playlist Mode" Icon three times to show the entangled arrows
--> endless music joy!

the "Playlist Mode" icon cycles trough four playback modes on every tap:

straight arrows: play top to bottom as shown in playlist and stop at the end
looped arrows: play straight top to bottom and start from top again
looped arrows with (very small) number "1": loop one song
entangled arrows: random playback of playlist items

I will clarify this on the WIKI also,
happy shuffling,
karl.
