I modified a script for Amarok 1.4 to make possible that Cairo-Dock shows the album cover of the song playing in Amarok 1.4 instead of the icon of the application launcher.
This script can be installed in Amarok 1.4, so it is running only when Amarok is running. You can download it here http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/338963/amarokdock.amarokscript.tar.gz |

That's nice! I wonder, if you did it for 1.4, are you able to trace the route for Amarok 2 as well (current version is 2.2)?
tnx |

Hello
Thanks for your script
MusicPlayer's applet doesn't uses Python like AWN I guess but it's great to know how to use Amarock 1.4's covers
In fact, Amarock 2 has now a good support of DBus and it respects 'the rules' . So its support is much better |

This means Amarok 2 is already supported by CD to display the covers?
Sorry I did not try yet for the reasons you know, cannot compile 2.1.1 and rpm is not yet available for suse (should be very soon, according to that Italian lady who mailed me back!) |

yes Amarok2 is supported.
Thanks jcbermu for your script, very useful for all people not yet under KDE4. |

Is this supposed to work if the launchers and applications are separated? I can't get it to display anything myself. |

I think it will only work if the launcher is also the application indicator. In my configuration, the launcher points to amarokapp instead of amarok. |

I see, in the script you refer to the launcher by its command ?
then using "amarok" instead of "amarokapp" is better, because then the dock will find any launcher having a command starting with "amarok"
(as if you did a "grep amarok*" on the launchers)
Edit : I've added this point in the wiki, it was missing. |

That's true. I was almost sure I was pointing to the name instead of the command. However, it works.
I'll check it and change all the strings if everything goes fine. |

the name is not a really good solution, because it can change (to take the name of the Amarok window, which may change at any time), that's why referring to the command is safer |
