I think this actually is a feature request.

Right now, it should silently skip the invalid files.

It's not the best way of handling it, I agree. I think maybe turning the text red would be a good idea, (Popping up an alert sheet would be annoying, in my opinion), but still moving on to the next song. If you have any other ideas on how to show the problem to the user, I'd be glad to hear them. Some people have suggested watching the file, and updating the path automatically when it moves, so that's a possibility too. I guess that would involve not letting them delete the file (or maybe removing it from the playlist if it gets put in the Trash).

Thanks, I've updated the link. I think sourceforge changed the names of the SVN servers recently.

Actually, no. There usually aren't preferences for Growl outside of the Growl.prefpane. A couple of examples I looked at are Adium, Colioquy,  and Transmit. Couldn't find growl preferences in any of them. Only app that has an option that I could find is Last.fm, but I'd say it's the one that actually stray from the norm.

Edit: Actually, Adium does have an option for it. You specify what events generate growl notifications. I can add a preference for it, if people want it. Add it to the 0.07 wishlist.

It could make things somewhat confusing, if growl notifications are enabled in Cog but disabled in Growl, or vice versa. I'd hate to muck around with another applications preferences, but I don't see another way of resolving that issue.

I can just do it. Thanks. If anyone else wants to just post the response (assuming this thing can handle those crazy international characters), post away.

Yeah, but if I don't have a forum for it, they would be littered around the development forum, or people would just email me them. If they put them here, I can safely ignore them and people can feel as if they were listened to!

Cog can definitely still use some enhancement.  I can see a lot of changes coming. Nothing most people would actually notice, probably. Things like more plugins, a better playback system, support for multi-track files, all that stuff. I want Cog to be extensible, where the core is very minimalist, but you can still have it make coffee with it, should you desire (and someone wrote a plugin for it).

BetterZip altered the way the tbz association is defined, I think.

Hah. Good. I'll mark it as resolved (Maybe I should make a Resolved Bugs forum.)

Safari and the NSURLDownload class both do some crazy things with mime-types. If the mime-type is known by the system, and the file does not have the extension the system says it does, it adds it to the suggested filename. BetterZip associates with the Bzip mime-type and associates it with bz2 and a few other extensions, but not tbz. I fixed it by changing the mime-type to a made-up one (x-tarbzip2), so OS X just leaves the extension as it is. I'm thinking of changing it to x-cogupdate just so theres no chance of future conflicts.

Is it still broken for you?

Hmm. Betterzip seems to have done something. Something bad. Well, at least it's broke on my machine now too!
