What was the
point of hiding the wallpapers by moving them to the
obsolete
folder? It seems to me that the artwork package can increase somewhat
in
size without ill effects as it is optional and storage space has
drastically increased over the past decade or more.
I know several of the wallpapers in that folder are "old standbys" to
users here; I don't see why we can't ship them normally.
My original idea was to remove sevaral more old-style wallpapers and add a
few more modern ones.
After discussions on this ML (mainly with E. and Alex), we decided to
change only a few ones to prevent estranging the final users, at the same
time without overpopulating the list of available wallpapers when tdebase
and tdeartwork were installed (the list is already too long IMO). Further,
we decided to make the removed wallpapers "manually" available in case it
was necessary., that's why there is the 'obsolete' folder.
There is no problem in changing things again if required, as long as we
all agree on a final version (either use the obsolete folder as it is now
or just leave of the wallpapers available).
Cheers
Michele
I don't remember the discussion, so I may have just overlooked this part
of it. I would like to keep the wallpapers available instead of using the
obsolete folder.
A better long-term solution would be to borrow the tree interface idea
from the screensaver selection dialog. That way the wallpapers could be
generally categorized, e.g. "Legacy", "Modern", "Simple",
"Nature", etc.
