Stacks & Avatar Factory
#7212 by Reasons (0.2829) posted on 8:05pm Sunday, August 26th, 2007
I'm sure this is more of a unique case as I don't see many people use avatar factory (link at bottom). What it does it it makes a music album cover for each album, then references to the folder. I click the album, it plays the folder that had that album picture. Now if I navigate to my music folder with stacks (installed using the awn-extras method), I don't see the album art and instead, open the text that says what to do. With stacks when it first came out, it displayed the covers and used the correctly.

To explain a bit more I took a screen capture. Far left is what happens when I open it. Then what shows in the stack, then how it looks in nautilus.

First off...what version are you using?
[Q]



and secondly, in Gconf, there's a setting under the applet called "enable_desktop_items" or something...see if it's checked or not.

I'm using bzr 77. I don't think it is a problem with AWN, just that some files got changed so it reads the script differently. "show desktop items" was enabled. The exact text of what "should" make it work is as follows:

I just submitted a fix that improves checking if a file is a desktop item. Before it checked only the extension, and I guessed your files do not end with ".desktop"?

Thanks for pointing this out Reasons! Avator factory + Stacks is a really cool way to browse my music library!
[Q]



Thanks for fixing this Timon! You're right, the extension was .avatar.
[Q]



Just one more thing: Stacks doesn't show the icon for the Fun Lovin' Criminals' 100% Colombian album. Something to do with the percentage sign not being escaped properly perhaps?

The actual avatar factory? It took me a while and in the end, using Totem was easiest but if you need help, I'll do it though I'm not sure this is the place.

Nice, got it working as well. Works well with stacks too ;)

Although I had to reinstall amarok, which also rendered obsolete my vmware-server for some reason (so long for just pressing "no" when apt-get asks you for something...). Well, it works now.

Yes... Do you get the avatars in nautilus or whatever file manager you have? In that case, it should also work in stacks, IF you have updated the awn-extras/awn-applets/awn-core-applpets bzr. (Just do a bzr update in this folder, if you've already got it). That made it work here.

Open this link and check my post if you need a program to automatically download and put the album art in your existing music folder (Amarok, banshee and other players put covers into a separate folder). If you don't have a .jpg or .png of an album in each folder of your music folder, it renders Avatar-Factory useless. The program is called Album Cover Art Downloader. Within my post there's a link for the deb and instructions on getting it working. Here's the link:
