Q: Photo support?
A: Photo support shouldn't be too hard, but it's nothing I'm personally
interested in at the moment. It's not trivial, though, and would require
a couple of hours for research and development.
Q: Write support?
A: Forget it. Writing isn't trivial. At least
iTunes™ will want to write to the same database files concurrently,
thus we'd need a way to tell iTunes™ to stop - and even to
re-synchronize afterwards we have written our changes. Even if we could do that,
how would we reorder entries in a playlist? By renaming the prefixing
index manually? This is totally unusable in my opinion.
iTunes™ is really great at managing the contents of your library
and your iPod™s. The only thing that it doesn't allow you to do
(probably by intention) is to easily copy content off your library or
your iPods to a location YOU desire. iTunesFS
fixes that "problem", nothing more and nothing less.
Q: Make iTunesFS work with the Fink package?
A: Create a symlink instead. iTunesFS
links against
/usr/local/lib/libfuse.0.dylib, so make
sure it finds the version installed by Fink there - if you really must
use the Fink version.
Q: Is it possible to share the iTunes library to make it available on the
local network (via Zeroconf/Bonjour)?
A: Personally I don't have any interest in this feature while
technically it's possible to do this with iTunesFS. However, there are
several obstacles to overcome and it's pretty much non-trivial.
