#8304: Extending the functionality of Data Translations -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Premislaus | Owner: axeld Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: | Version: R1/Development Preferences/DataTranslations | Keywords: data translations, Resolution: | translators, tabs, codecs Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by humdinger): I think Premislaus is speaking of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing tearing]. I think that is mostly a driver issue, not respecting the vertical blank. I guess that's why moving windows also show tearing? WRT to the ticket enhancement itself, I could imagine grouping types of Translators in tabs may become useful. Especially if we get more non- image-Translators. Another tab for codecs and renaming the panel to "Translators & Codecs" would also be nice, in general. Don't know if making translators/codecs "de-activatable" (via checkboxes maybe?) is really needed. We should try to package the best codecs available in Haiku's base system, which should discourage the dreaded codec-pack mess... -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8304#comment:4> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
