Moodbar .mood generation

[Nikhil Marathe]

Hi,

I've been editing the Google Code-In page and it seems to me that
making Amarok capable of generating moodbar files (
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220327 ) instead of using an
external script
is a relatively easy task (doing something similar to the script
through an interface).

In fact, this script http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=125137
already has the process started, the student will just have to do it
for all files in the local collection and add a UI to track the status
or something.
And there should be a way to regenerate when new songs are added to
the collection.

I'm willing to mentor, but I would like to clarify a few things before that.

1. Do Amarok scripts run in separate threads or the same thread as all
the others? We don't want a long running script blocking others.

2. Would emulating the bash script in Python/Ruby/Language and making
it interface to amarok with a GUI be a good way to do this, or should
it be done in C++ and be a part of the Amarok code base?

Please clarify these so that I can add the entry.
