Ah! I went to Dario’s talk on multithreading in Qt. It was quite a good presentation but I missed him mentioning Collabora

Comment on kpartx – mounting partitions inside disk images by Davidlohr Bueso

@Danielle: they’re quite similar, but kpartx only deals with disk images while partx also allows you to map partitions within a block device.

@Davidlohr: what’s the difference between partx and kpartx?

You can also use partx for this.

hi,
why is it difficult to find out? I’d suggest mp4mux over ffmux_*.

Actually with Linux 3.2, loop devices are now finally partitioned (e.g. the kernel scans and creates partitions). Btw, with the new Disks application (A rewrite of the GNOME Disk Utility nee palimpsest in 3.2 and earlier) in GNOME 3.4 all you need to do is to click the + button in the lower left. See this Google+ entry for more info. HTH

Wouldn’t be svg perfect for icons? The scaling would be lossless and the technique available.

@Alexander: that’s one solution. Continuing to add bigger icon sizes.

There are a few other bits that need tweaking though, like rendered clickables such as checkbuttons, radiobuttons, grab-handles on sliders etc., that you begin to need a more generic solution for make my whole UI bigger. To some extent things like this can be controlled by theming, but it’s nice if they can just scale up using a similar metric to the fonts and icons. At this point we want to begin adding the ideas that appear in the resolution-independent GTK+ branch, but perhaps without reference to DPI.
