Hi,

Daniel van Eeden reported in Debian bug <http://bugs.debian.org/299288> that the
iPod preferences tab isn't working.  I confirm that the behavior of the iPod tab
is tighten to the library tab (or so it seems), and seems to have no general
usefulness of its own.

Regards,

This is because of this kind of issues that the iPod support isn't enabled by
default...
Comment 2 James "Doc" Livingston 2005-08-19 16:11:10 UTC 
This is because the library source provides no way to override the browser_views
key (or paned_position or sorting keys either) which means that all source
derived from the library source (of which the iPod is one) must share the same
settings as the library itself.

Also: the iPod source doesn't override impl_get_browser_key or
impl_get_search_key, which means that the visibility of the browser and search
text are the same as for the library.


I think the best thing to do would be to have the library source make the
browser_views, paned_position and sorting keys overridable methods, and have the
ipod use different keys for those, the browser and serach keys.

The ipod pane has been removed in cvs, because it was useless.
