"bmp2x" eats-up my hard-disk
i just finished the installation of Arch64 and installed Xorg,Windowmaker and vorbis-tools, listened to some songs and then i thought of installing the XMMS then i read about "bmpx" the successor of XMMS. so installed it. it needed "hal" to run so i started "dbus" and "hal" and then played "bmpx" and then it just ate-up my hard disk.
have you noticed how much the red LED on your cabinet glows when you create a filesystem or use "e2fsck" to check it. it uses whole disk and red LED glows in full intensity. same way that LED glows in full intensity when i start "bmpx" the red LED never stops glowing and as soon as i kill bmpx it stops. i don't have any problems like this with "audacious".
is it a "bmpx" bug ?

How did you install it, did you compile it yourself or did you download via pacman? Bmpx works well for me, I don't know if it is because I compiled the i686 version or what. Also, it didn't search for anything until I added a folder to the library.
Take a look at ~/.config/bmpx/logs
