Target 1.0

Sick of AudioMan yet? OK, here's more. From a planning perspective I think it would be wiser to get to a minimally functional piece of software first. AudioMan works well but it doesn't do much yet. We need both. So for the 1.0 release we should focus on the most important features.

I've been looking through the ideas we put into our Bugzilla repository and here are some good candidates for 1.0:

bug 156: id3v2 support
bug 263: animated progress dialog for include files
bug 66: file renaming
bug 297: fill tag using filename
bug 164: Variable Bitrate Support (finish MPEG support)
bug 19: Automatic nightly builds
bug 84: Customize the Track List Column Titles

One area I really want to improve on is the threading in the UI. During an include directory we can show a progress bar in the status line and still allow the user to do other things. When showing a large number of tracks in the track list, they should update gradually and not freeze the TableViewer. Some research is definitely needed there.

What do you guys think?

File-Renaming. Finally. :)

Let me know when this gets in for testing purposes and I'll throw some stuff at it...

I've got a 14G archive of live concerts by some crappy metal band from San Fransisco that needs batch renaming in a bad way...
*hint*Non-standard naming BAAADDDD!!!!*end hint*

Yeah, tell me about it. I just want to set a preference and let the application do my personal standard naming convention for me.

Yep Jimmy, that's one of the things we want to do.

I vote for the tags... id3v2, fill tag with file name (I REALLY need that), and renaming files in a standard way.

Just my two cents...
