Comment 4 for bug 322043

Hi,

I did get it installed but unfortunately I had to install about 8 things manually to get to that point.

As for the bug. I can say a few things

Pro: The problem is just about fixed :)

Cons/Suggestions:

a. It no longer automatically copies the .vlt skin into a central directory, I think this is a bad decision from the developers because most people just want to download their skins to their location, "install it" and then be able to delete it from their download spot. I have my stuff downloading to my desktop, I don't really want to have to cut/paste and make a new folder for skins for VLC, it'd be better if I just installed it and then it auto copied to a central location like /usr/shared/vlc/skins2 (I believe that was where it went before).

b. The problem is almost solved but not complete. I installed two skins and after I installed the second one I started getting a couple bugs. I installed the my_PSP-black and the windows 11 skins. I couldn't open my avi file after putting on the Windows 11 skin, I then tried reverting back to the PSP-black one but VLC crashed. I then reopened vlc and it was back to Windows 11 skin, I had to revert it back to a non skinned format and then go back to skins with the my_PSP.

I'll look into this further in the coming week or so as I get time. Thanks for the update, it's definitely an improvement
