Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
No - you merely retag files while they reside on your DAP. Â You keep stressing this point, but it is an invalid one.
There is no need for this process to interfere with your music management program of choice.
As opposed to Rockbox users needing to have prior knowledge of the plugin?
Not to split hairs, but it will be a pluggin, not a menu item.
Failure to read the manual affects people's knowledge and understanding of the "Random Folder Advance" pluggin. Â How would this one be different?
Straw man - a broken tagger is a broken tagger. Â A pluggin would be modifying your tags in the exact same fashion as a PC side app.
I think I'm going to state that from here on out, the argument for "Ignore The" that goes "It's easier / more convenient for my personal method of using it" is restricted. We get the point, we know you LIKE it better, but the idea has been rejected. Arguing for it accomplishes nothing, and since these forums are for discussing the state of official Rockbox, unless you have a new argument for it that you think will change the situation, you don't need to repeat what you've said in favour of it yet again.
Scroll wheel acceleration is not a plugin. Plugins are anything you seen in "browse plugins" or any viewers. Basically, files with the extension .rock. They do NOT show up in the main menus, with one exception (the credits plugin).You seem to have confused it with the term "patch".
And I don't believe Rockbox should ever be forced to restrict or limit itself for fear of offending other programs that don't adhere to standards. "Fear of incompatibility" is silly, if that incompatibility is with a program that doesn't support a standard it purports to.
It's not Rockbox I'd be worried about. My concern would be potential complatibility issues between the other program used for editing these tags, and the user's audio management program of choice. Again, these issues are 100% eliminated if the Rockbox itself took care of this task.
Editing these tags outside of Rockbox requires a program that can see and edit these tags, and it requires a script made specifically to do this.
No, these issues are not eliminated if Rockbox itself took care of said task.A pluggin (in said example) is "the other program".There would be no difference in the files be it a PC app or a Rockbox app (pluggin) that does the tagging. Â The "risk" is exactly the same.
Editing these tags inside of Rockbox requires a program (the plugin) that can see and edit these tags, and it requires a script something made specifically to do this.
We're still not on the same page here. The issues that I'm referring to are eliminated if the Rockbox takes care of this duty because the original files on the PC are untouched by the process. Only the files already on the Rockbox are re-written, while the origian copies of these files on the computer remain exactly the same, completely "unaware" of the sort tags since these tags were not added until after the files were synced to the handheld.
Again, you're not getting it. If you plug your rockbox DAP into your PC - it becomes a drive letter. You point your tagging app at it, say tag these files here please. At no point then are your "original" files touched during the tagging process. At the end of the process, you unplug your DAP. You can even un-install the tagging app used. Your original files are still virgin, untouched on your PC's hard disk.
I would argue that this MysteryPlugin should not alter the player's content in any way. Â A more appropriate solution would appear to be that the MysteryPlugin would instruct Rockbox's database (via some new API) to update the sorting attributes associated with selected content.
