rbutil - The Rockbox Utility needs testing

I have tried the binary and I like it.  The only things I noticed not working are the quick start which shows greyed out for the 2 items.  Also themes is greyed out and thus you can not download these.

Well, as some parts aren't implemented yet they are (intentionally) greyed out ;) I'm working on implementing themes (but this might take some additional days as I also intend to make the interface to the themes site cleaner -- the themes site currently gets reworked so is's a good time to do it).

Edit: I just tried upx on the rbutil executable, and it compresses even better than zip. I uploaded the result to http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uhcn/rockbox/rbutil/rbutilqt.exe if somebody want to try. The device selection was changed :)

I  will try this tonight when I get to work.  I do not have a Windows machine at home so will have to use it there.  I did like the other version you had as it was much cleaner then the version on rockbox.  It also seems to be smoother on downloads.  I will report how it works when I try it out.

I tried it out and I like it.  I only tested the install rockbox to install the latest version.  When you implement more I will test those as well.

jmdennis:
I found one issue with it.  When I tried to install the bootloader it would not install as it showed no ipod found but I am able to install rockbox.  This may just be a problem with rbutil as when I try with the latest windows version it does not seem to do any thing in regards to downloading the firmware.

bluebrother:
Installing the bootloader and Rockbox itself is completely different for Ipods. Installing the bootloader needs raw disk access and thus admin priviledges. Installing a build does not, it only needs to access the Ipod as a disk drive. So this might be simply a rights issue -- installing the bootloader works fine for me.
