muesli

Recently I installed new CVS checkouts of kdelibs and -base on my system and played with the "new" Kicker. Kudos to Aaron for all the changes, fixes and new features.



Now, I just added the Storage Media Applet to my Kicker and noticed a few things:



1. It rocks I got used to mount / unmount / eject my CDs, iPod and Cam with it. Two clicks instead of a few keystrokes in Konsole. And it even shows the current mount-status, hooray!



2. Ejecting audio discs doesn't seem to work. It tells you, that the current disc couldn't be mounted - which is correct, but shouldn't matter at all



3. After I mounted a disc I clicked "Open in New Window", which opens a Konqui-window pointed to "media:/hdc". That's fine so far. I got into trouble once I tried opening a big mpeg-movie with xine: KIO started copying the file to my kdecache prior opening it, which took ages. It would be better if KIO detects, that the disc already is mounted and opens xine with the real url (the mounted location) of the file.



Nuf' ranting. CVS head feels stable and great atm



Now start drinking your favourite kind of alcohol, the new year's coming

Here's some stuff I just installed recently and I'm rather happy with:



1. My new mouse cursors:

Pinux Theme.



2. kio-locate:

A KIO accessing the locate database.



3. Active Heart style:

This and Lipstik are my favorite styles currently.



Have fun,
