I hope this is the right place to ask this.

I have 2 "usability requests" for Media Player on my N900:

1) I listen to my gPodder content from a single playlist* and I wish to be able to delete the file(s) and the listing(s) from within Media Player. E.g. after blasting through 3 or 5 "60 second Science" podcasts and a few other short podcasts from various sources, I'd like to go into the playlist, select those recordings, and delete the files from the N900 and the playlist.

2) When listening to a podcast (e.g. a 140 minute TWIT) I sometimes want to look at the current playlist via the back arrow in the upper right. If I do, I cannot "get back" to the currently playing "player window" which contains pause/next etc.

Thank you.

* I create the playlist from XTerm
...$ cd MyDocs/Podcasts
...$ rm AllPods.m3u
...$ cat *.m3u > AllPods.m3u

I'd like to put that in a script, but I can't get "cmod 755 DoPod.bat" to do anything. I've tried sudo gainroot before "cmod" but no joy.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Thanks

MyDocs is a #!@$% M$ FAT partition.

you can put your script in /home/user/bin and add that to your $PATH in ~/.profile and not need gainroot.

Or you can put it in /usr/local/bin using gain root. You still need to add /usr/local/bin to your $PATH

Thanks. I'll try to give it a go next week, after parties :-)
If I can type the absolute paths correctly (typing's not my strength) it should be "easy".

PS Is there any way to pin a "file" (this script or a .txt file) to one of the home screens?

You can also run shell scripts without the executable bit set by giving them as argument to the shell, e.g.
