[PLUG] iDevices

[jeff <jeffv@op.net>]

The world *is* actually going to end shortly, as evidenced by work 
getting me an iPad.

I am not the least bit interested in iTunes.  I don't want to dig up 
Steve Jobs and ask permission each time I want to put a media file on my 
device.  No syncing needed - just xfer files and play/view/display them.

Plugging into Win7 allows me access to DCIM but I can't actually put 
anything there.  Plugging into Xubuntu 12.04 finds a USB device but 
that's it.  Xubuntu 12.10 fully identifies the iPad and that's it.  I 
have Googled, installed libimobile, fuse, gtkpod and whatever else, to 
no avail.

Apparently one cannot simply use a File Manager to manage files.  Every 
manager I found wants you to use ITS file system.

I know these things are pretty popular.  How does PLUG use them?


Thanks.
