GUI changes for v3.0

[ankor]

Using Dark-Variations | Greenish Slategrey skin.
When there is just slightly more in a list than what can be fully displayed (like 1 item too many), the scroll bar has just a small space above the down arrow where you should be able to click and cause a scroll down.  It doesn't move.  The same thing with clicking the down arrow of the scroll bar. It acts like it thinks the list is fully displayed.

i have started making some changes around this. Since a few releases ago its now possible to configure the "Thumbnail with Tracks" layout to show fields on the right. In the next update, the mini-player playlist can be configured to show not just the Track Details layout but also the Album and Tracks layout or the "Thumbnail with Tracks" layout.
I will probably add a track finder panel

I am also loving these changes. Thank you!

Wish I could test this out, but I'm stuck on XP for a while.

Looks good!

How about adding one more state to the player metro buttons?



The current same state on stop & pause gives a lot of trouble (by being confused) when editing or moving a track.

Have you tried it on XP?  It should work.

If you copy tags to another file via Ctrl-C & Ctrl-V on album & tracks, album or artist view, artwork doesn't change on the main panel though tag editor and track details panel shows the updated artwork correctly.

The 'Expanded Panel Settings' panel doesn't remember it's last position and always opens in the top left corner of the screen.
Could it be changed so that it remembers it's last position?

just trying now its all working fine for me with all the changed tags refreshed in the main panel for the different views, nor can i see why it wouldnt work.
Is there any more info you can add to your report?

The additionally displayed fields beneath the titles of the tracks are a bit difficult to read in some (many) skins.
Maybe the dimming factor relative to the title could be decreased a little bit?

Really? I can replicate this bug using a fresh installation with the default settings file. It's not about changing views. Do you see the artwork in the main panel change when you paste tags?

if you are only talking about artwork and the primary picture is embeded then yes i can reproduce a display issue where the cached artwork is not updated so i will fix that

Thanks!

A related bug is when you paste artist picture on artists view the artist picture on the main panel isn't updated.
