The FUSE method of 'mounting' iPods is just another way of talking to libgpod, to give you the convenient user interface of a mounted filesystem, but it doesn't really make sense for other applications to go through the fake filesystem rather than just using the library to talk to the device directly. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
