Request For Comments: Snakeoil 1.2.0 (Gear Isolation)

[agent_kith]

With the new server and new web services out of the way now, it's time to get back on Snakeoil OS proper. One of the top complaints with Snakeoil is the complexity of adding/deleting music files. It doesn't help when Windows 10 stop supporting SMBv1. So, I'm now working on a prototype file manager:
 

So the idea is you can select whether to look at the music share, or the playlist. Contents of the shares will be displayed in the big blank box.

And buttons at the botoom allow you to:

1. Create new folders (first button from left)
   
2. Add files to your Snakeoil PC (2nd button)
   
3. Delete files from your Snakeoil PC (3rd button)
   
4. Copy files to RAM disk (4th button)
   
5. Delete existing files on RAM disk and copy selected files (last button)
   

With 4 and 5. If you select a playlist and copy it to RAM, the contents of the playlist will be copied and not the playlist itself.

The usual Linux file permissions still applies though. So if you mount a NAS share that's RO, obviously 1-3 will not work.

What's the point of all this? Well, currently it's pretty difficult for me to evaluate RAM play. This new widget will fix that. When this is working I can easily select the songs I want to copy to RAM, and so will you. :)

Coming to the activated edition, eventually.
