sorry there hasn't happened much yet wrt dvd::rip |
| 24 |
the system i worked on with dvdrip had a disk die, art of a md0, system is |
| 25 |
gone, so i too reinstall, some real life worries and usual lack of enough |
| 26 |
time for everything |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
i started out keeping icewm maintained, and eventually took on other things |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
short version is better i guess: we always appreciate user contributions, if i |
| 31 |
am slow, it does not represent any lack of interest |
| 32 |

between you and chandler dvd::rip s hould stay, one concern is that transcode |
| 34 |
1 i had on the laptop, on the system dvd::rip worked on has 0.6.14, when i |
| 35 |
tried dvd::rip on here, it seems to have finished the plugin scan the hangs, |
| 36 |
scanning plugins was what i did on the XP, then the hdd died :) |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
i too am frightened to see good working apps go, i still consider readding |
| 39 |
kcpuload which worked then was gone, works still well from an overlay ;) |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
you get the idea |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
i will add your email to the dvd::rip filter in kmail so i hopefully do not |
| 44 |
miss things |
