bitpim has the ablitity to create ringtones by converting a sound file from one format to another, however this functionality failed for me. Tracking down the error message revealed that /usr/lib/bitpim-0.8.04/helpers/ffmpeg.lbin was not marked as executable, the original permissions were 644. After making that file executable, I made the permissions 755, I was able to successfully convert ringtones in bitpim. Looking at it further none of the files in /usr/lib/bitpim-0.8.04/helpers/ are executable. I also have bitpim, version 0.8.03, installed on a SuSE 10.0 system and all files in /usr/lib/bitpim-0.8.03/helpers/ are executable. Please let me know if you need any further information. Thanks in advance, Brian
fixed in 0.8.07.
