Index Feeder (like) Server

Forum thread started by NTT on Tue, 2006-04-25 09:01

One thing that kinda bugs me when I'm using my BeOS system, is that if a file dosn't have any attributes you have to manually add them (or use a tool like MP3 army knife). I was having a browse around at SkyOS's home page and they have a server running in the background that systematically scans for new and modified files and using plugins pulls out details like bit-rate, track-name and play-length. something that BeOS translators can already do.

universal binaries ?.

Forum thread started by ebykm on Wed, 2006-04-19 08:26

Haiku PowerPC will be out soon and finding new PPC apps will be harder.

It would be nice to include universal binaries for RISC & CISC machines or to have universal APIs for Haiku (If it doesent exist). And urge developers only to use it than writing special codes to take advantage of specific CPU.

A scary suggestion...

In the menu bar, when we open a menu, and send the mouse moving across the menu bar, the menu will also open according to the item your cursor rests on. Because of this, many users get frusturated when this happens when they're dealing with deeply nested menus...

Applications stealing focus

Forum thread started by reallyjoel on Sun, 2006-04-16 22:27

I have thought about it some, and I can't think of any occasion where a program really needs to steal focus.

You could have all sorts of programming guidelines set up for when a developer should choose to implement these kind of features, but there are always some that thinks that their particular application is uber-important, and have it steal focus at certain times.

OpenDocument translator

Wouldn't it be a good idea to add OpenDocument translator(s) to the Haiku?
