Description Luca Ferretti 2008-11-22 21:13:03 UTC 
Could be good provide a Properties dialog for MTP devices, showing at least used/free space and other info. For example, using `gphoto2 --summary` on my YP-1T 0I can retrive model (T10), version (3.06, the firmware), supported formats (Association/Directory, MP3, WMA, JPEG, WMV, AAC, ASF, Association/Directory, Abstract Audio Video Playlist, Undefined Type, Firmware, Abstract Audio Album), Maximum Capability (1943601152 (1853 MB)), free space (32342016 (30 MB), battery level (Range [0 - 100, step 10] value: 100)[1]


Moreover, 'cause MTP devices usually stores music, videos, images and other files, could be good show the used spaces by each file type - yeah, something like the iTunes multibar, but more GNOME-ish :)

[1] but this seems wrong; when I plugged it was about 2/4 and the device is still charging...

The iPod plugin recently got a property dialog, I guess we should share as much as possible between the 2 plugins

...if you don't have latest Glade3 trunk.

Fancy effects using U+25A0 (BLACK SQUARE) and U+25A1 (WHITE SQUARE) unicode characters and forcing foreground color (thanks, glade3 trunk). The big bar can be colorized to distinguish formats, a la iTunes

Looks nice ;) I  porting banshee's SegmentedBar to C, i guess we could use that as well, see bug #558576

Do you have the code somewhere?
Comment 6 Christophe Fergeau 2008-11-23 22:01:27 UTC 
There was a missing word, I meant "I started porting Banshee's SegmentedBar". For now, it compiles, doesn't have text and haven't tried to use it, I stopped at the "it compiles" step, I'll attach something later :)
Comment 7 Christophe Fergeau 2008-11-23 23:23:12 UTC 
Bastien, I attached my non-working code to bug #558576. Not in a really useful state, but if the code or I suddenly disappear, it won't be totally lost ;)
