Comment (by Premislaus):

 Replying to [comment:4 humdinger]:
 > I think Premislaus is speaking of
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing tearing]. I think that is
 mostly a driver issue, not respecting the vertical blank. I guess that's
 why moving windows also show tearing?
 >
 > WRT to the ticket enhancement itself, I could imagine grouping types of
 Translators in tabs may become useful. Especially if we get more non-
 image-Translators. Another tab for codecs and renaming the panel to
 "Translators & Codecs" would also be nice, in general.

 > Don't know if making translators/codecs "de-activatable" (via checkboxes
 maybe?) is really needed. We should try to package the best codecs
 available in Haiku's base system, which should discourage the dreaded
 codec-pack mess...


 Yes, what I meant!

 People have a great need for free setup, and I think this way will be a
 good and simple.

 Besides, with the time will be a lot of translators, concerning a similar
 things.

 I think the arrangement of cards, tabs or bookmarks should look like; All,
 Images, Video, Audio, Documents, Unclassified, and further defined by the
 user (drag and drop).
