<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Hi Sebastien,</div><div><br></div><div>I think we'll do one more release of gui/macosx and release the result of the Lunettes project somewhere after 1.1... But Lunettes is growing pretty fast and it's now possible to hope that we could only maintain 1.0 and release Lunettes as vlc 1.1. Hope but still.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll merge your patches asap.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't think there is much to do around gui/macosx, it is easy to fix. Especially given that we didn't diverge much. I personally think that the "new" interface in gui/macosx is sort of a regression.</div><div><br></div><div>I think we should encourage every motivated developers to help us on the Lunettes side. We could largely use some more hands if we want to release soon!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); "></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.226562); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.226562);"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">That said, some part of gui/macosx should be revived.

One of them is called iMagneto (<a href="http://imagneto.sourceforge.net"><a href="http://imagneto.sourceforge.net">http://imagneto.sourceforge.net</a></a>) which takes benefits of VLCLib engine through the VLCKit umbrella. I've heard a few day ago the problem of the missing maintainers of the module gui/macosx. Thus, i took a look at the interface module by compiling VLC (64bits) and by testing the result under Mac OS 10.6. There's a serious bug that causes frequents gui crashes (i'll open a discussion about it).
For now, when i launch the trunk vlc for macosx i can notice that there's a work to implement a newer interface that has been given up in process. I imagine that the goal of this task was to make a gui more cocoa/aqua/friendly that mac os x users are used to see on their environment. I think, having a discussion about or pointing out some archives could help the developers motivated to contribute to this module.
So, what's the videolan's point of view about the past/present/future of the module gui/macosx ?</span></div><div><br></div><div>--</div><div>Sébastien Zwickert.</div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>vlc-devel mailing list</span><br><span>To unsubscribe or modify your subscription options:</span><br><span><a href="http://mailman.videolan.org/listinfo/vlc-devel">http://mailman.videolan.org/listinfo/vlc-devel</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
