Amarok is my fav player -- but yeah it's clunky. I ran across JuK and it has the same sorting features of Amarok and half the weight. So far, ik like it! IDK if JuK would be a consideration for LW or not. I just hate all the fussing around setting up playlists and such with other media apps, as good as they are.
There's Listen, too, which is also supposed to be lighter weight -- but i noticed a lot of Gnome dependencies....??

I'm just about finished making kdelib base for bibletime, this one will be more stable than previous models, and a bit larger, But I think its the price we'll have to pay for stability. Smile

I already have kpdf up and running on it Smile

kpdf is only 265kb so I'll include that as a extra little bonus Smile

below is a screenshot of it, I guess Living Water 4.2 has officially moved from planning stage to building stage now Smile

Good news

I'm also still working on 4.2, but its a limited role now, Mainly fixes.

ttuuxxx,

Don't know if you want to try it yet since it's based on KDE4 libs, but the stable source code for Bibletime 1.7 is:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=954&package_id=258768&release_id=568090

Thanks for the Xiphos link, their Xiphos 3.0.0.0.1 looks good and is a significant update of gnomesword 2.4.1.1.

Looking forward to your new releases,
Jim

Soooo--i hope you take your breath now that 4.2 is done...
...but not for TOO long! Razz

Thinking about the next LW -- how is it going to be set up? More of a "Spartan" release or more full-featured? Which CD-burner? FirePup, or a different browser? What about JWM patches and goodies for the browser preinstalled? All the plugins and codecs for browser, Gxine, etc? Audacity? (Yeah, and why is there no audacity.sfs file available anywhere??)
I wasn't thrilled with Pmusic -- but then, i rediscovered good ol' XMMS - only now i just go to my "music" folder, right-click on an album folder, and open with XMMS rather than play around with the playlist function. Either one, you seem to like installing VLC.
Glad to see BibleTime included.
I'm running 4.2 but i;m waiting for you next release! I've inherited a pretty nice HP from my daughter -- 1.5Ghz Pentium, 500MB RAM -- much nicer than my P-1, 133Mhz with 40MB RAM!! Very Happy

A full install will probably fly...

Hey, ttuxxx (and anyone else who cares) -- Toshiba has the PERFECT new laptop to sell pre-loaded with Puppy, if we can convince them. As a matter of fact, the desktop background on the unit in the ad bears a striking resemblance to your fire hydrant logo!
