Broken WPS
havic:
Should not the broken wps themes, because of the parsing change, be removed from or noted so when someone is installing through the utility. I would not have know this as I use the utility to update to the latest versions.
Also there was no notice upon trying to download from the current build page noting this as well.
I feel as this effects a lot of users not savvy enough to know what is going on.
This could of also been listed on the home page under recent activity.
Not that I am complaining, I love rockbox and have been using it for years and have turned many people on to it. Just thought it would be helpful for some.
Thanks

RBUtil looks at the repository on rockbox-themes.org, unless I'm mistaken, and all those themes will be broken because they can't be updated. Either you'll have to fix them yourself, or look at the themes in the WpsGallery on the Rockbox Wiki. Those themes may (should, really) be updated to work with the current SVN builds.
Zardoz:
I think even some of the themes in the WpsGallery may be broken, or were until recently. It's a case of fixing them yourself or contacting the author and requesting same. In fairness the change over to the new syntax was announced WELL WELL in advance and the actual commit was recorded on subversion under recent activity. But I'm inclined to agree a little, that it's not all that clear (I think a lot here have no time for "users not savvy enough" or at least 'not willing enough to try' which is maybe understandable but a little mean.) Is it possible for the RButil to accept only uptodate themes?
Llorean:
RBUtil can't tell *anything* about a theme in advance. Honestly, if they were put in the wrong gallery on the theme site, RBUtil would happily install themes for the wrong player. It trusts the site.
As well, you're using development builds, you should be *expecting* things to break, honestly.
Zardoz:
I don't use the utility at all. (my question was directed original poster way) I accept all the 'breaks'.
