Now building without cs translation is broken:

Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:

Previous build system did not have this problem.
Also fix '2) COMPILING' in README.
very nice application !
i found very usefull the search bar for the playlist, i propose as a feature the ability to delete a file directly from the collection
here is a rpm for Mandriva 2010.1 32bit
http://www.mandrivalinux.gr/rpm/2010.1/i586/tepsonic-0.95-1mgr2010.1.i586.rpm
Thanks for that RPM!
Your idea about removing items from collections is little problematic. I'd rather use some sort of blacklist for files and dirs to be excluded from collections when rebuilding them. Removing file from collections would lead to choice "Delete from disk" or "Add track/album/interpret to blacklist"...and that could work...yeah - great idea man, added to TODO :-)
I am happy to see light Qt4 player with collections support :) Founded bugs and some feature requests:
I Build system:
1) make fails with MAKEOPTS="-j4".
2) make install does not install libs and translations.
When this issues will be fixed I will add ebuild to bugs.gentoo.org.
II Icons:
'optipng -o7 icons/*.png' will save 44 Kb, /usr/bin/tepsonic will be 20 Kb smaller.
III Tepsonic:
1) Status bar does not support UTF8.
2) Collection part of window can not be resized, also DPI 146 looks ugly in settings window.
3) Scrolling at trayicon does not change sound.
4) Menu is... unusual, may be you will move Tepsonic and Playlist to File?
5) Some files are not present in collection list, only artists with no albums and tracks
6) tepsonic /path/file does not start playing it
7) Loading file from dir not in collections list crashes tepsonic.
8) Clicking at song in collection does not add it to playlist.
Thanks for fast reaction in git, but there are some problems with libs:
* QA Notice: The following shared libraries lack a SONAME
* /usr/lib/libtepsonic_lastfmscrobbler.so
Also we need qmake option for using /usr/lib64, /usr/lib32 or any other path instead of /usr/lib.
Translations are not installed for me.
tepsonic /paths works, but does not start playing /paths, without such behaviour tepsonic is not optimal as default choice for opening audio files in file managers.
http://pub.nikoli.msk.ru/portage-overlay/media-sound/tepsonic/tepsonic-9999.ebuild
ebuild works, but is not enough good for Gentoo yet. If you will add it to downloads, please add link because I will periodically update this file.
Sorry for all the inconveniences, this is my first bigger public project and I lack some experiences :-)
I fixed the translations, this time for sure and added sonamed symlinks to plugin lib.
Target folders can be now specified by passing PREFIX,LIBDIR and BINDIR variables as qmake parameters (see dirs.pri).
Thank you!
Seems all build issues are fixed :)
May be you need to change links in README (homelinux.net) and paths in Doxyfile (/home/...)?
Why you marked statusbar problem with non-latin characters 'Unconfirmed', does it show well russian or japanese tags for you?

Thanks a lot!
In 0.98.3 shortcuts are broken: instead of 'Meta+S' just 's' is used, if tepsonic is running, I am not able to type 's' in any application.

Thanks, it's fixed in git now, will be in next release (which will be as soon as I have some time to fix some minor issues)
In official overlay: http://gitorious.org/gentoo-multimedia/gentoo-multimedia/trees/master/media-sound/tepsonic
http://gitorious.org/gentoo-multimedia/gentoo-multimedia/blobs/master/media-sound/tepsonic/tepsonic-0.97.0.ebuild
Thanks Nikoli. I fixed the folder name and updated the 9999 ebuild link to point to gitorious too.
So will you fix cmake? For me in Gentoo it does not build with -DQT_PHONON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr... options too.

If you don't have Phonon include dir set by default in your system, this is not just appropriate but the only solution :-)
ok thanks i have updated the rpm http://www.mandrivalinux.gr/rpm/2010.1/i586/tepsonic-0.96.0-1mgr2010.1.i586.rpm
Thank you!

I fixed the problems with UTF. I was not sure where exactly is problem (I call statusbar the panel in the bottom of the window :-) ).
