Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2010-09-21 13:15:33 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

I like Dragon Player as it is a smart little player and plays almost everything (and integrates more into KDE than VLC does).

It automatically resumes files where you left them, which is fine. But there is NO way of disabling that behavior. Often you end up re-watching a movie after a year or something and all you get is the credits because you naturally closed the application there.
And as there is no Stop button you have to fiddle around with that seek slider to get it to the start again.


Reproducible: Always

There is a stop button in the file menu, also it is bound to 's'.

Anyhow, a setting does not make sense for the highlighted use cases instead the following should happen:
- detect credits (expensive to do unfortunately)
- discard profiles after n days

Latter seems most reasonable given that it is easier to do and probably catches other cases that do not involve credits.
