A Few Issues/Bugs in v1.3.0/1056 [Window 10]
- High Priority: In Settings -> Monitored Folders - manually refreshing a directory doesn’t appear to work anymore. The progress bar at the top of the window is no longer visible (it was in the prior version). Another indicator it’s not working is that the ‘Manual’ refresh date does not update (to show the latest refresh). I can’t tell if refresh is really working, except with simple tests, like removing a song from a local directory and refreshing A+(song stays in the app, when it should be removed)
-> Note Only when I delete and re-add the path does the progress bar appear and fix #2 below
-
Low Priority: Some albums were split into two, post-upgrade. For example, an album will appear twice - with one album containing a single random track (e.g. #6) and in the other (identical) album, the remaining tracks are displayed. I’m wondering if it’s because that one song was ‘bookmarked’ as a favorite in the past (with the previous single album(?)…or because I have a copy of one in m4a format in one directory and a flac with identical metadata in anther directory(?). Strange. The original single album had 12 tracks, all of the same file type, created by the same ripper, and I cannot tell what metadata field might have caused this ‘album split’ problem
-
Medium Priority: Sorting is occasionally buggy in the Album view. A few albums always appear towards the top of the Album view for no apparent reason (even with all the metadata filled out for every track in an album - including Album Artist, Composer, etc, e.g. for FLACs). Only after deleting/re-adding the path back to ‘Monitored Folders’ did it work (as described in the Note below #1 above).
-
Low Priority: When viewing Albums - the tiny scroll bar on the right doesn’t page up or down when you click above/below the slider, respectively. It just inches down barely, so the user needs to click on the slider and drag up/down to page through albums. A bit inconvenient if you have 4000+ albums.
-
Low Priority: Within an album, viewing tracks, if you double click on a track, the track pane ‘jumps’ down, showing only the tracks (and not the album art/description at top). I have to do a two-finger drag downward on the mouse pad to bring the album art back into view. Speaking of Album art and artist description, I’ve noticed that the artist description is sometimes duplicated in Tidal…as if two (programming) variables were concatenated together.
-
Medium Priority: For albums and songs shown in the Local Library view, clicking the “…” doesn’t show an option to “Add to Playlist” (manually created earlier), but the feature does work with Tidal and Quboz albums/songs. To test, create a local playlist and try to add a song to it.
-
Medium Priority: Filter is somewhat buggy. If you filter only on FLACs (which I keep in a separate directory named ‘FLACs’), sometimes other file types slip through and are displayed, e.g., an m4a file downloaded from iTunes (which I keep in a different directory…also monitored in the ‘Monitored Folders’ section).
-
Low Priority: Under Monitored Folders, the columns/headers can’t be expanded to display long paths
Enhancement Requests…
- Double clicking selected track starts/plays song. See #5 above for current problem.
- Column Header sorting (click on column header and sort tracks on that column)
Enhance Keyboard support
- Arrow up/down …the row selector/highlights correct song, but you can’t play it unless you click the play button. Pressing space bar should toggle play & stop of song
- Pressing [Enter] key moves row selector to next song. It should play the highlighted song.
Thanks,
