Package: totem
Version: 0.99.9-5
Severity: minor
When you watch a video file in totem, close it and then
move/rename/delete the file (i.e. make the original go away), totem
gives the following error when started (from the debian & gnome menus,
or by typing 'totem' in a terminal window):
Totem could not play file 'foo'.
There is no plugin to handle this movie.
I have two issues with this:
a) The problem is not to do with plugins, it's that the file is not
there.
b) I just don't care - if I launch totem directly, then it does not
matter to me if it can't find the file I watched last time.
Either the error message should be corrected, or the error dialogue
removed entirely (which would be my preference).
