Include Sancho in the repositories  
Written by wladston the 27 May 08 at 22:36. Global category: Internet & Networking. Not an idea
Sancho is an excellent GUI for the MLDonkey p2p server. Sancho is far more stable and offers much more features and a better user interface than the "MLDonkey" frontend that is currently available on the repo.

Undo or ctrl-z all the fields on Gnome  
Written by wladston the 26 Jun 08 at 23:26. Related project: Gnome. New
Most (or all) of the editable fields where you can put information aren't undoable. My idea is to always be able to ctrl-z any settings field you have just changed.

Don't show the fast user swith applet if there is just one user  
Written by wladston the 23 May 08 at 01:52. Global category: System. New
After all, it takes up a lot of space, creates clutter and it's absolutely of no use for people that got just one user on the computer.

Make file icons a little transparent while drag-n-dropping  
Written by wladston the 24 Mar 08 at 22:57. Global category: Look and Feel. Implemented
(this idea was finally implemented in Hardy using compiz fusion, so if you are a mod, please mark the idea as "Done")

When user drags a file or folder, make it a little bit transparent to help visualize where it's being dropped at.

Advanced music sync capability for Rythmbox  
Written by wladston the 20 May 08 at 22:40. Global category: Multimedia. New
User should be able to export music in a selective way to an SD card, Music player, or USB drive.

This could be done by creating a dynamic playlist, that can be filled either randomly, or by genre, by artist, and limiting the playlist by minutes/megabytes/tracks (after all you can't always put your entire collection on your music device).

Please, also take some time to read the attached bug before voting (I had the idea before brainstorm was launched).

This is related to Idea #3409 and Idea #3156, but it's not a dupe.

Interactive way to filter music  
Written by wladston the 19 May 08 at 22:05. Global category: Multimedia. New
After playing with this site :

http://musicovery.com/index.php?ct=us

and seeing that it allows to restringe the year the music if from with sliders, and filter dynamically combining calm/energic and dark/positive variations, while also restringing the musical stiles ... AND being alble to choose the tempo ... and being able to mark for "hits" or/and "non-hits" ... I was thinking ... wouldn't it be a good idea if a similar feature were incorporated to Rythmbox ?

I strongly suggest you guys to try the mentioned s

Drag-n-drop a network folder should mount it locally  
Written by wladston the 19 May 08 at 21:48. Global category: System. New
When the user drags and drop a network folder from the smb:// locations, Nautilus issues an error. My suggestions - when the user does that, open the "connect to server" dialog and mount the network folder, creating an icon on the desktop.

Integrate file transfer information into Nautilus  
Written by wladston the 4 May 08 at 23:05. Global category: System. New
When the user starts a file transfer, some information is placed on the information bar of nautilus, and a closable window show up on the screen with the progress bar and the cancel button (much like downloads are handled in firefox)
