Sweet! :) >> The use-case for the OSD, for me, is that sometimes I just want to know for >> how long I've been watching something. Or how much is left.

I seldom use subtitles myself, but as mplayer sometimes autodetects them from online backups I just turn them off.

So basically you mean "launch full-fledged EFM in Rage's context?" IIRC there was an old operating system, but I can't remember which one, that used the file manager for all "open file" type operations. The philosophy being that those dialogs are subsets of the file manager _anyway_ so why not just use the whole thing. At least in theory I like that thinking if it really works. Like knows that it's dealing with Rage now and not something else. Looking at how gnome does this stuff makes me sad and annoyed, so anything should be better ;) -- mjt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
