DinoPulse: queue, keyboard and playlists from Deezer
The space bar now plays and pauses anywhere, tracks go into the queue from their menu, and a Deezer playlist becomes a playlist in DinoPulse as it downloads. On top of that, the library no longer loses anything.
From 0.6.59 to 0.6.68 the work was about two things: DinoPulse should be easier to use, and your library shouldn't lose anything.
Playing (0.6.67)
- The space bar plays and pauses anywhere in the window, except while you type, in a dialog or in a menu. Ctrl+Right and Ctrl+Left go to the next and the previous track.
- The menu of a track has "Play next" and "Add to queue", in the library and in playlists.
- The albums view shows the artist of each album, plays an album by disc and track number and keeps albums of the same name by different artists apart.
- Pressing Next quickly always plays the right track, and a track you play right after the start keeps playing.
Matching with Deezer (0.6.68)
- When you download the tracks of a Deezer playlist, DinoPulse creates a playlist with the name from Deezer right away. New tracks go to the end, none twice. You can switch that off.
- A downloaded track carries the title, artist, album and cover from Deezer instead of the title from the source and the channel as its artist.
The library loses nothing (0.6.62 to 0.6.66)
- You can rename the track that is playing. It keeps playing at the same spot under its new name.
- Changes during a scan are kept, such as a new download or a renamed track.
- A scan shows right away and can be cancelled, even when a network drive doesn't answer.
- A missing track in a playlist says why it is missing. If only its drive is unplugged, it stays in the library.
Smaller things (0.6.59 to 0.6.63)
- If saving fails in the background, the settings and the line under the player say so until it works again.
- Context menus work fully with the keyboard, and a screen reader reads out the marked entry.
