Bugzilla Bug 59670

beep-media-player does not read the global /usr/share/beep/Skins/ directory,
but it does read the personal one ~/.bmp/Skins

Probably it does the same with the Plugins.

The /usr/share/beep/Skins/ directory is a symlink to /usr/share/xmms/Skins/,
which is created after emerging beep-media-player. If I make the same symlink
in my ~/.bmp/ directory, then it *does* work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge beep-media-player
2. Try to change the skin
Actual Results:  
beep-media-player does not seem to look inside the system-wide
/usr/share/beep/Skins/ directory.

does this happen with 0.9.7?

As the symlink was there when I upgraded it, I am not sure about that. Can you
try it yourself?

I'm gonna say works for me, then.

We can close it then. :)
