Thanks a lot for your work in preparing MM for the future (and other platforms).
MMW5 is notably faster, but I'm missing some features (hidden?).
The links in the main list are gone (Options>Library>Apearance). One of the highlights in MM4 when search is set to "Library".
OK, I think chromium doesn't allow such "gimmicks".
A)
Because shortkeys for that action are not selectable, I looked for additional action bars... and found nothing.
Rightclick (huge contextmenu) find more from the same (large context) artist/album whatever I want. That's NOT faster.
B)
During organizing the archive, I need all space on the screen for the most important columns.
What's about showing the Rating as a single number? (option). You shurely dont't think, that is useful to show the BPM as single beat icons in a column. Why do I have to waste the space of 11 characters to show ONE information. A number between nothing and 5? (Stone age people are counting this way, one mammoth = one finger)
Thanks... in the player, I can hide the stars (but the title stays as tiny as it was)
C)
The matter is brought to the head in the "Playing" list.
Is there really no chance to select the columns?
Nice: a click on the headline brings the content to the main list. THERE I can select the columns, yeah! thats fine... oh,sorry, back to "Playing" nothing has changed.
I don't need the space consuming rating stars at all, specially not in "Playing".
When this list ist more narrow than 1/3 of the screen, I only see 1/2 of the entries, because the list takes 2 lines for each entry. (basically a nice behavior, but only in combination with selectable columns )
D)
You'd reanimated "Focus tracklist on currently playing item". That's fine. Yes, the item gets the focus..... it was highlighted somewhere in the depth of the list. The cursor keys can help, to bring the item to the visible part of the list, if you know that trick.
I hope, I'm only a little too stupid to find the right way to work with MMW5, and you have some advices that can help me.
Thanks
Timo
