MusicBee Wishlist / Button to open a file explorer window in the location of selected song(s)

« on: February 08, 2023, 08:42:54 AM »

It would be nice to have a button on the metadata editing window that would open the currently selected file(s) root folder in file explorer. The image below shows an example of the area where this button would appear in the editing window outlined in red.

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Reopen Closed Tab

It would make sense to add a hotkey that allows you to open previously closed tabs in order from when they were closed like the Ctrl+Shift+T hotkey does in any of the popular web browsers.

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Foobar-style search in library

« on: October 04, 2022, 11:35:02 PM »

i was playing around with the in-panel search in foobar to see if i liked it better than the MB implementation.
Say if there were 3 songs with "Gold" in the album name, and the first instance has been matched - how do you make it search for the next instance?

You could make it so that when you press the tab key or any other assigned hotkey it cycles to the next item containing the same search phrase.

MusicBee Wishlist / Button to open the Playing Tracks/Upcoming Tracks window

« on: July 13, 2022, 02:55:43 AM »

Currently, the Playing Tracks/Upcoming Tracks panel is locked to the right sidebar. It would be nice to be able to open and close a separate window that contains this information through the use of a button or keybind similar to how iTunes works. This would free up a lot of space from the right sidebar, allowing for more track information to be displayed at once, or it would allow you to completely disable the right sidebar if you were previously using it to only display the playing tracks panel.

MusicBee Wishlist / Set Ctrl+C as the hotkey for Send To: Clipboard (selected files)

« on: February 06, 2022, 03:02:34 AM »

Currently, when you try to set Send To: Clipboard (selected files) as the hotkey Ctrl+C it pops up a warning saying 'Ctrl+C' is a reserved key and cannot be used. I believe this is because Ctrl+C is reserved for copying tags to the clipboard. While it is nice to be able to copy tags to the clipboard, I would much rather make that a secondary command such as Ctrl+Shift+C since I use it far less often than copying files. So far I have yet to use that command and there have been a few instances in which I have tried to copy files from my library or from a playlist to attempt to paste them in another playlist or onto another window that isn't MB. I'm not saying that it needs to be the default but I would like the option to change what the two hotkeys are.

MusicBee Wishlist / More Functionality For Mouse Buttons

« on: October 08, 2021, 03:29:36 AM »

I noticed that in the hotkeys you can assign previous track and next track hotkeys to the mouse side buttons but they are locked to a specific mouse button. You can't make button 1 do next track and button 2 do previous track. It would be nice to be able to swap these around since the button 1 on my mouse is easier to reach and therefore would make more since to map it to next track since that is the command I would be using most often. It would also be nice If I could map them to perform any command such as the forward and backwards navigation buttons (the buttons in the top left corner underneath the MusicBee menu).

Questions / Show Playlist Directory in Now Playing View

« on: October 08, 2021, 03:22:33 AM »

Is there any way to make the playlist directory display while in the Now Playing view without making the left sidebar show up and disabling all of the other navigation tabs? I'm trying to get it to only display the playlist directory and nothing else but don't want to disable all of the other things since I use them when in other tabs.

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Hotkeys For Every Function

« on: September 25, 2021, 07:02:22 AM »

I use the plugin for its ability to analyze a track's dynamic range and write it into the tags of the file. It can also average the DR between multiple files such as when finding the DR of an album.  For volume analysis I use MusicBee's built in volume analyzer.

MusicBee Wishlist / GUI For Creating Virtual Tags

« on: September 23, 2021, 04:56:23 AM »

I recently started to use virtual tags and while they are very simple in concept can be difficult to learn how to write them and figure out what you messed up when writing them. I believe that they would be much easier to use if they had a GUI that could be used while creating them, similar to the GUI used when creating a smart playlist or using the "Highlighting Rules Editor".

MusicBee Wishlist / Hotkeys For Every Function

« on: September 23, 2021, 04:51:53 AM »

I use the EBU R128 plugin which allows me to scan a track's DR and even average multiple tracks' DR for an album DR. The problem I'm having is that it is a buggy plugin that doesn't let you scan your entire library at once like you can with replay gain. Because of this, I have to manually select 20-50 tracks then right click and move my mouse down to the bottom of the menu, hover over EBU R128, then click tag. Averaging multiple tracks' DR is the same process. I would imagine that many other plugins would benefit from being able to set a hotkey for every single function, similar to how you can on foobar2000. With foobar2000, I can set a hotkey for every function and the list (of functions) is separated by the context menu or by the plugin that the function belongs to.
