Topic: Suggestions for 2.8

[Zarggg]

I think "Sort by Filename" does that already. That was fixed in 2.7, IIRC.

Also, I'd like to bring this back to discussion:

Also, could Ian or someone else with the ability make a standalone .SVP for the built-in Spectrum and 3-D Spectrum? I like the way those look, and would love to include those in my Rappa list.

Oh! So it seems :idea:. But then there isn't a 'sort by filename' without the dir structure .

[Irrational86]

Nvm...ignore me..

[Pike84]

Perhaps a very tiny suggestion could still make it to the 2.8? When starting to play a random song, the view would move to where the song is in the list. This would be especially useful in bigger lists.

[edit]Oh, I just came up with another little suggestion: In the playlist right-click menu, a new item, "clear queue".

Sorry for this wrong post again...i opened my mouth without knowing first..

Hitting Scroll Lock (should) produces this effect. It's in the manual, IIRC.

Scroll Lock does it for the small playlist, and I remember Ian saying that the big playlist is meant to be used as a playlist manager, and it would get a tad annoying if the list scrolled up and down when song changes just while you're moving a huge heap of files and so on. =)

A few things which have been mostly mentioned before, but little refresh can't hurt

- when encountering a dead file, pick another random song, not just stop playing on the dead file
- xmp should remember when the 'subfolders' is selected on the 'Add dir' window (have to check the box every time now, ecch )
- remember when the scroll lock has been on when xmplay closes, and switch it on when opening next time, if off? =)

I have few modules too which fail in a way or another in XMP (some crash, some just jam), but I can't apparently send any files from this comp.. =/
I'll be back on it when I can though.

[Pike84]

Yes, I meant the big playlist, and I only meant it for random songs. Perhaps we should have an option to choose, if the playlist moves? Anyway, the "clear queue" option would be useful, no matter what .

Jacer, there is a right-click menu in 'loop list' button, where you can choose if the playback stops on a dead track .

[Jace]

Hmm..

v Loop List
 ----------
v Auto advance
   Stop at end of Queue
   Unload final track

That's what I have.. I might be missing something or you have a betatesting version or similar

[Pike84]

Oh yes, I actually seem to have an early beta, 2.703. I have the same options, except I have "stop at dead track" included, so apparently it's already done .
