hi.

if an application tries to use an Icon that you didn't put in your theme (and it is active), kde will use default.kde icon set for that icon (in kde 3 it is crystalsvg) - May 06 2007

Definetly easier to use than the KDE default.
I think they are using this in Basket, if I remember well... - Feb 15 2007

just click on the konsole icon in the window title or Do Alt+Space when you are on konsole, and in the menu that appears select Advanced > No Border :)
Nice hack. I haven't got the time to compile it but someday i'll give it a try. Is there something similar for yakuake? - Feb 15 2007

Hey this script is very useful, and i made some changes in the main script so that it would apply_replaygain when the replaygain is not available, and it changes the playing volume when it finishes.

I achieved this by putting all the code that was in if sinput.startswith('engineStateChange: playing') in a function, and plus a few troubleshooting i got it working. it would be better, though, if the playing volume was also updated when its manualy apply_replaygain'ed, and that in the configuration dialog you can select wether or not to applyreplaygain when its not available, but I don't have more time right now ;). well, here is the code that I put before the #main_loop comment in amarok_replaygain.py:



def update_volume (is_playing):
#reread amarok config if possible
if not(is_playing) and (amarok_version>=10302):#changing track also sends the playing signal, so to avoid latency and osd messing the config will be read only if the previous state was "stop"
read_amarok_config()
is_playing = True
proft1 = time.time()
song_url = str(amarok_dcop.player.encodedURL()[1])
if debug: flog.write('Get url time: '+str(time.time()-proft1)+'\n')
if song_url.startswith('file:'): #we can only read tags on local files
pregain = float(replaygain_config['pregain'])
mode = replaygain_config['mode']
song_name = urllib.url2pathname(song_url)[5:]
proft = time.time()
song_gain,peak = read_tags(song_name,mode)
if debug: flog.write('Tag reading time: '+str(time.time()-proft)+'\n')
if not(isNaN(song_gain)):
gain = song_gain+pregain
if gain>calibration[0][1]+1:#warn of out of range gain
os.popen('dcop knotify default notify eventname amarok "'+_('Replaygain script warning\ngain too big by ').encode(LC,'replace')+str(gain-calibration[0][1])+'dB" "" "" 16 0')
gain = calibration[0][1]
if (gain+peak > calibration[0][1])and(replaygain_config['no_peak'] == 'false'): #will peak clip?
gain = gain-peak #if so limit gain
if debug: flog.write('Final gain: '+str(gain)+'\n')
else:
amarok_dcop.playlist.popupMessage(_('This song has no replaygain info. Applying replaygain...').encode(LC,'replace'))
gain = float(replaygain_config['gain_default'])+pregain
if replaygain_config['mode'] == 'track':
mymode = TRACK_TAGS
elif replaygain_config['mode'] == 'album':
mymode = ALBUM_TAGS
apply_replaygain([song_url],mymode)
is_playing=update_volume(is_playing)
v = gain2vol(gain)
if v < 5:
os.popen('dcop knotify default notify eventname amarok "'+_('Replaygain script warning\ngain too low by ').encode(LC,'replace')+str(gain-calibration[len(calibration)-1][1])+'dB" "" "" 16 0')
#support crossfade
if is_crossfaded or replaygain_config['smooth'] == 'true':
if amarok_osd and osd_disabled:#if the crossfade thread is running it may have disabled the osd, so we show osd or the song change will not have osd

thread_lock.release()
if is_crossfaded:
start_new_thread(do_crossfade,(v,crosstime,thread_lock,timer))
else:

and in the condtional if sinput.startswith('engineStateChange: playing'):


is_playing = update_volume(is_playing)


hope I help to improve this awesome script! ;) - Jan 21 2007
