GUI changes for v3.0

[Sofocl]

MB does not display tooltips in the "Album Covers". (In version 2.5 it works)

[Steven]

"Auto-Tag by Album" do not apply to cue files.

it wont update the cuesheet if thats what you mean

MB applies the changes to media files (flac, ape... etc) but does not change the cue file.
cue > Auto-Tag by Album > Applay tags;
The result; In "playing tracks" and "Library" will show MB change, open the "Edit cuesheet" and make sure the changes are not applied.

yes thats correct and i am not planning to change that. You will need to manually edit the cuesheet for the track details to be updated

[Steven]

Yes, added entire library to NP with "Play Library Shuffled". In previous versions there was a sort option when right clicking the column header (NP main panel), but that option is gone.

i have added sorting for the now playing panel in order to be consistent with v2.5 but in my mind its only useful if you have shuffle enabled which you do.

[Steven]

spacing between new left sidebar elements (Now Playing and Music Explorer) is not consistent with other items.
9 pixels with all other items
16 pixels between last item and Now Playing
then 11 pixels to Music Explorer

i still might further fine tune the settings, but the Now Playing panel is more for looks and hence less dense, while the other panels are for functionality

I think Bee-liever was referring to the differences in vertical line spacing here:
(which personally I think actually looks good considering Now Playing and Music Explorer are conceptually slightly different from the entries above them)



(maybe NP and ME could be 1 or 2 px closer to each-other)

[Steven]

yes that is an intentional extra spacing for Now Playing and Music Explorer

OK I can understand spacing the Now Playing further away by hiccup's reasoning.
But wouldn't Music Explorer either be 16px down (as a conceptually different entity)
or only 9px down if it's to be grouped with Now Playing?

Not the odd 11px spacing it currently has.

Is that a removed feature or bug? In MB2 doubleclick on column browser would result in playing. In MB3 doubleclick does nothing (But context menu play now alt-enter works)

Very pity! It worked in version 2.5 and greatly simplifies life.
Is there a chance to get her back?

All windows that open when an Auto-tag by Track function is evoked open in the upper left corner of the main MB window.  Can you please make the position the window is dragged to persistent?  Thanks.

When using Tools > Tagging Tools > Search and Replace > Preview doesn't show a preview of what is going to be changed.  Perhaps it's below the line that begins "The following changes will be made..." but there's no scroll bar to see what might be there.  It works as expected in 2.5.

Version 3.0.5851


Version 2.5.5804

i found 3 bugs in the now playing panel, wen activate the playlist option

- the wavebar not refresh when changing track. the updated only when changing tab.
- in sidebar player, you can not adjust the volume.
- in sidebar player, the progress bar has no function

these three bugs are only in the now playing panel. In the other Tabs wavebar and sidebar player works fine.

if you are refering to the right sidebar of the Playlist configuration for the now playing panel then thats fixed for the next update

this is fixed!
Thanks for this

I found 2 Bugs in the Compact Player. When I select the "Playlist" View.
- The Wavebar does not refresh when changing track.
- The Track stops when I click on the progress bar

Works in 3.0.5851 for me.


Coincidentally, if I turn narrow scrollbars off I still don't have a replace with box.



This is using Blue>Metro Blue if that matters.
