Gnash Flash player reaches milestone, not destination

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:00:00 GMT
Gnash, the free software Flash player, has released its first beta. The new release is a milestone for both the project and the GNU/Linux desktop, which remains dependent on the proprietary Adobe player for handling Flash files (.swf). Although Flash support is not complete in version 0.8.2, Gnash has now reached the point where it is usable for the most common everyday purposes, such as watching videos on YouTube -- a point that Gnash was exaggeratedly reported as having reached last June. However, in many other ordinary circumstances, Gnash's success remains hit or miss.

jsymphonic

JSYMPHONIC(1)						      General Commands Manual						     JSYMPHONIC(1)

NAME

       jsymphonic - File manager for Sony's MP3 players

SYNOPSIS

       jsymphonic

DESCRIPTION

       jsymphonic manages files stored on a Sony MP3 player plugged onto the computer.

       Important note: The MP3 player should be mounted first !  You might want to use pmount(1) to mount it without needing root privileges.

       The  first  time  it is run, jsymphonic will ask you in which directory the MP3 player is mounted. This directory should not change, or you
       will need to configure it again.  If jsymphonic complains that it cannot find the OMGAUDIO folder, it means that either the music player is
       not mounted, either the path of the player has not been set yet. If that is the case, set it using the JSymphonic/Properties menu item.

JAVA-WRAPPERS NOTE
       This  program  is a shell script wrapper based on java-wrappers(7).  You therefore benefit from several features; please see the java-wrap-
       pers(7) manual page for more information about them.
