Local Lyrics is a python based amaroK-script requires amaroK 1.4!

I wrote simple wrappers for dcop-calls (using the shell-tool dcop), kdialog and amaroK's script system while writing this script. Use them if you want (it's all LGPL) See the .tar.bz2's contense and: http://twoday.tuwien.ac.at/pub/stories/22759/

This lyrics-plugin simply scan's a selected folder for textfiles with lyrics. This might be usefull when you have a lot of lyrics stored on your harddisc, but they are not available on lyrc.com.ar or a simmilar service.

Installation:

Open the lyrics-filesystem-x.x.amarokscript.tar.bz2 with amaroKs script managers script install option.

Usage:

Start the script with amaroKs script manager.
Select the directory in which the lyrics are stored.
The filenames of the lyrics have to be:

"artist - title.txt"
or
"title.txt"

Now amaroK will search this folder for lyrics, when there are none in it's database for the current track.

Requirements:
amaroK 1.4

What's New in This Release:
Extension type of the lyrics file will be ignored. (.txt is no longer a must)

In amarok.py:
Bugfix: customMenuClicked was not called
ADD: Plugin.addCustomMenue and Plugin.removeCustomMenue. use this so the plugin will automatically delete custom menues at exit.
ADD: exit-handler which captures the SIGTERM signal. just overload the exit-method. custom menues will be deleted automatically!
