rbutil - The Rockbox Utility needs testing
Febs:
True, but in the case of a model name (as opposed to the ordinary English use of the word), shouldn't we should use the manufacturer's spelling? As far as I know, Apple uses the spelling "color."
(We refer to it in the manual as the ipod "Color.")
GodEater:
Perhaps - I've just done a bit of wayback machine searching of apple's uk site - and I can't see it called the iPod Color or iPod Colour - it was either just "iPod" or "iPod Photo".
Llorean:
I tend to think of it as a proper noun, if anything, meaning "iPod Color" when called that. It's a somewhat unique case.

@jmdennis:
about the themes in the .rockbox dir:
rbutil asks you to point to your device, and not to your .rockbox dir, and it only checks if this location exists. So the problem is a user problem. :-)
about Mac version: this version is only behind, because some one has to compile those builds, and not everybody has a Mac. :-)
about your error: In the Error message there should be a "details" or "more" Button which gives you more information about the errors that happend. Without a detailed error message i cant fix any possible bugs.
And in general: We are now porting/ rewriting rbutil to use the Qt Framework instead of WxWidgets, so most of the effort is going in the new version, and its likely that those things and errors arent going to be fixed in the wx version. Instead we will replace it when the Qt Version is ready. So be patient and feel free to improve / test the Qt Version. :-)

In the manual those names are treated as nouns, so it becomes "Ipod Color". While the web site isn't exactly following this rules I'm wondering if we shouldn't the same in Rockbox Utility?

I put a windows binary of the current state online. It's a statically linked binary, thus (according to Trolltechs documentation) screen readers won't work with it -- we'll address that issue later. I'm trying to update that zip file from time to time so if you want to test look here:
