May I make two suggestions
1) mood files -> some audio players generate these - most notably
Amarok with the right plugins installed. These break up the audio
files into 3 bands lows/mids/highs and display the level for each
band.
2) the circular wave displays in freewheeling... These would fit into
an icon preview very easily.
I have some experience doing preview plugins for Dolphin if you think
that would be helpful.
Hi. Yes that could be set by the user if they want mood file previews.
Yes, freewheeling thumbs are circular but you can't fit much in a simply
wrapped around (polar coordinates) thumb like that. Think how much
visual information there is on the surface of a vinyl record.
Dolphin plugins would be great, but I want to keep this as easily
adjustable by the user as possible ... setting their won CLI tools
through text settings files. Now a Dolphin plugin that would allow that
?
I'm looking at creating my own interface with Tk/TCL or might just hack
the Caja code.

Hi,
Thought I'd air this one to see if there's anyone already using this
kind of thing out there.
I'd become frustrated by lack of support for musicians in Linux
window manager file managers. No default waveform/spectrogram
support. No MIDI notation previews. No BPM or key info, etc, etc.
I set up Caja to thumbnail WAV files using Sox ... see some
screenshots on this forum thread ...
http://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12514&p=55280#p55280
I'm looking at some other thumbnailers as listed on the thread.
I'm thinking of doing some development of the MATE Caja file browser
to allow better presentation of audio file waveform thumbnails as
currently they can only be square. Maybe LAU members already know of
someone who has done this ? No point in reinventing the wheel ...
otherwise I'll take this to LAD.
Hi, I think samplecat does some of the above. Also I've heard sox has
changed syntax between versions before, so it might break your program
in the future; others where recommending me ecasound instead... or
maybe libsndfile?
cheers,
renato
