PictureFlow questions
psycho_maniac:
Not saying thats bad, but I wouldnt mind seeing a auto resize to the selected album art size you chose like in your patch. I dont think we will see that until bmp resize is in svn though.
jswetzen:
This patch only matters as long as bmp resize isn't in svn, with bmp resize you can have a 200x200 pixel image for both PictureFlow and the wps. (Soo much easier.. ::))
The thing is, I want PictureFlow to look good NOW, and still have good looking album art in the wps.
I have posted a first rough patch now, it can be found here: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8382
Llorean:
Why do you post a patch that you know is going to be rejected, because it's not the right solution? (the right solution being BMP resize done properly)
The tracker is for patches that are seeking inclusion.
jswetzen:
All right, forget what I said. It can still be useful when bmp resize is included because you might want to resize the images before you put them on your player.
You can save some battery life when rockbox doesn't have to scale all album art images, and, more importantly, scaling them on the computer will probably result in better looking images.
Llorean:
If you resize the images before you put them on the player, it'll still work differently. There will be one file, cover.bmp, resized to what you've chosen as appropriate for your WPS. Then Coverflow will resize that image to what it needs to display, and other WPSes will resize to what they need to display if you change WPSes without resizing your images again.
Unless you're talking about having multiple copies of album art (one for each WPS, and one separate one for pictureflow) even after BMP resizing is available, which seems rather wasteful of disk space all things considered?
