I'm writing a JumpTo plugin, which will follow the currently playing song if the playlistwin has focus and a song changes. This is to get the behaviour that the cursor is moving the current song whenever the playlist is begin focussed. As was mentioned in a previous thread, I think this is was people actually expect.
Have you actually tried the new pre-release which allows you to change what is being displayed in the item info window (press ctrl-v). I still think that this pretty much allows you to achieve what you want.
Well, I'm not convinced :) What I envisioned with the plugin was this:
If the currently playing song is selected (in the playlist window) _and_ the song changes automatically. The focus moves with the currently playing song.
Ok, it doesn't seem to odd to me any more (maybe I just got used to the idea - but that's ok).
Well, I don't like the ctrl-v key that much as it is something a user has to learn about (and at least know something like this exists). While an automatic (follow the current song if that's where my cursor is) implementation is much more user friendly.
Fair enough.
But I might have overlooked some other usage scenarios that conflicts with this though. I thought implementing it as a plugin to see if it would convince you was the smartest thing :)
Having this as plugin is not necessary to convince me ;-) Seriously, I still think that this is nothing for a plugin.
Any feedback welcome. What do others think ?
It would be really nice to get a little feadback on this issue. Jörg
