 |

I really, really dislike amaroks behaviour when you cklick on an albumcover in the contextbrowser:
Instead of showing the cover in real size, it opens your browser and visits the amazon website to a location where you can buy this album.
(This even happens if you compiled amarok with the noamazon-flag)
The developers say, that's because of amazon's license, but I think this sucks =)
So I patched that out and changed the coverview to be the default action.
The patch is described for version 1.4.1-r2 but it still works with 1.4.3-r1.
To get this changed behaviour, make
ebuild /usr/portage/media-sound/amarok/amarok-1.4.1-r2.ebuild unpack
go to /var/tmp/portage/amarok-1.4.1-r2/work/amarok-1.4.1/amarok/src
and patch contextbrowser.cpp with the following patch:
| Code: |
--- contextbrowser.cpp 2006-07-02 21:37:44.000000000 +0200
+++ contextbrowser_patched.cpp 2006-07-22 10:06:24.000000000 +0200

else

+*/
+ CoverManager::viewCover(artist, album, this);
}
|
then enter
ebuild /usr/portage/media-sound/amarok/amarok-1.4.1-r2.ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/media-sound/amarok/amarok-1.4.1-r2.ebuild install
ebuild /usr/portage/media-sound/amarok/amarok-1.4.1-r2.ebuild qmerge
I don't know if someone wants that changed behaviour and if it's legal to distribute this changed version (from amazon's point of view), so I didn't make a modified ebuild and did everything by hand.
Maybe it's ok to apply it if you use the noamazon-flag.
Have fun!
