[Goodies-dev] thunar-media-plugin-0.2.0

[Nick Brake]

Thank you very much! I didn't think of git or svn repositories nor did
I think to check bugzilla. I downloaded the new 0.2.0 archive as I
couldn't quite figure out how to use git offhand and there was one
issue. "sh ./autogen.sh" complained about a missing file "ltmain.sh".
I copied over that file from the 0.1.2 tarball and it just worked. Not
sure if this matters or was intentional but the tarball now has the
name twice "thunar-media-tags-plugin-thunar-media-tags-plugin-0.2.0".

Now I'm a very happy camper with the custom format option!

Cheers,
Nick.

See https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6295 or look at the commits which are very recent and done by the experienced Xfce developers. You can contact the Debian developer if you want but I'm pretty sure he already checked to make sure that the plugin was in the process of being fixed.
