   * Possibility to move tracks within the list-view
   * <del>Play back tracks from the HiMD over the computer speakers</del> (dropped)
+  * Use ffmpeg-codecs to convert uploaded tracks into other formats, e.g. ATRAC-SP into WAV
-===== TODO =====
+===== Screenshots =====
-  * make use of statusbar to display mountpoint and space-left/overall space of HiMD
+Linux/Fedora Rawhide screenshot as of 02.06.2010:
-  * show bitrate and group-information in treeview (group information needs libhimd support)
-  * group HiMD-groups in treeview (needs libhimd support)
-  * write help-file (alternatively use Qt's "Whats this ?")
-  * <del>implement MP3-upload</del>
-  * <del>implement PCM-upload</del> <del>(NOTE: PCM-Upload is not supported for strong-encrypted PCMs yet, i.e. non MZ-RH1, output files lack WAV-header)</del>
-  * <del>use libsox to convert raw PCM into WAV-format</del>
-  * implement MP3-download (needs libhimd support)
-  * implement PCM-download (needs libhimd support)
-  * implement ATRAC3-upload/download (not sure whether feasible)
-  * later versions should employ folder-browser for filesystem for upload/download (similar to SonicStage)
-  * allow drag and drop for download of files
-  * should detect connected HiMD-Walkman automatically (platform dependant)
-  * run upload/download in extra threads, use Qt multithreading; display progress in status-bar
-  * display MAC/Key in tracks list or alternatively "Encrypted: Yes / No"
-  * show status-window after download: 4 tracks(s) successully uploaded. 2 tracks(s) could not be uploaded: 2, 8.
-  * use platform-indepent SCSI-library for:
-      * reading discid (countercheck with mclist0x.hma-file)
-      * formatting HiMD -> already successfully performed on Linux (see himdformat.c)
-      * get/set date/time and display in statusbar
-      * allow/prevent medium-removal (lock MD during transfer)
-      * use DRM Read/Write future OpenMG-compatible transfer for ATRAC3 (?)
-  * bugs:
-      * does not check any error-codes from libhimd
-      * default directory for upload/connect should be system-indepent; hardwiring "/home" is not a good idea for a Windows port
-                (unless Qt somewhat matches /home to a different directory in Windows)
-      * connect-button should check whether the chosen directory containts a HMDHIFI.IND file in the root directory to
-                 verify the selected folder contains actually HiMD-data
-      * all buttons except "Connect" should be disabled unless a HiMD has been selected with "Connect"

+===== About Dialog =====
+The about dialog could need some sprucing-up. Comparing to the one of pidgin, which has a good design standard, our dialog looks quite boring and somewhat inconsistent. Also, the information within it doesn't need to be translated.
+The new dialog should contain:
+  * all people listed in [[Contributors]], sorted by their contribution
+  * contact information (IRC channel, mail addresses, mailing list URL, website, ...)
+  * version information of the current build from git
+The following screenshot compares the about dialog from QHiMDTransfer with the one from the current version of pidgin:
