Out of focus "power saving" and task switcher window contents

Posted on 2010-03-08 20:09 UTC by Javier S. Pedro. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Desktop.

Some applications (including base ones, like the Clock application, or the Media Player application) save power by not refreshing the display when they're not the topmost active application on the system. This works well enough right until you hit the task switcher key, and you see outdated thumbnails in the task switcher grid.

Tag images with people's names (from contacts)

Posted on 2010-03-09 20:50 UTC by Oskar Welzl. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Media.

You may want to tag images not only with geo-information and keywords. You may also want to add information about people who are in the picture. This way, you'll later be able to perform a search like "Show all photos of Harry" or "Show all photos of Harry and Sally".

The most natural way to do this is to take names from the built-in contacts database, so there'll be a connection between your contacts and the images showing your contacts.

On my home-network I run mt-daapt / Firefly mediaserver. Available clients are: iTunes and my good old SoundBridge. It would be nice to have a client on my N900 to play content served by Firefly.

Make Qt plain-C- and Vala- friendly

Posted on 2010-03-14 13:05 UTC by Roman Polach. Status: Under consideration

Main disadvantage of Qt (in comparison with GTK+) is C++.

Most of free software (see SourceForge) is written in Plain C.

There is need to have ability to develop C apps and for the best also Vala apps on top of Qt.
