Created attachment 37412 [details] small stars in edit mode Do not change the size of rating stars when performing inline edition. I want to rate some track in playlist with 4,5 stars. I want to move mouse cursor to the middle of the fifth star, then click to enter edit mode and after a second click again whithout moving cursor. Currently I have to correct cursor position after entering inline edit mode. With current git and Oxygen style rating stars became even smaller then usual.
I agree here, I don't like that you have to enter edit mode first before you can rate (makes rating require 3 clicks plus waiting instead of just a single click with no waiting). However, it adds insult to injury that the stars change size after you enter edit mode. I have larger regular stars, but the clickable stars are still pretty much the same size as you see in the screenshot.

Your choice of words is not exactly kind with the developers who spend their free time to do unpaid work for your pleasure.

Obviously there was no actual insult or injury involved. Apologies if you took it that way.
agreed. Playlist, does not save star ratings, entered into the playlist. You either have to do it in the context panel, or by right clicking to edit the file directly. It seems that it is meant to do this by design, as you can click how many stars you want, it just doesn't stick.
With Amarok 2.3, you can rate tracks with one click, thus the star size doesnt change anymore :)
I'm using Amarok 2.3.1 (amarok-2.3.1.60svn20100912) and the star size still changes. Should this bug be reopened?

Depending on the size you choose for the rating column, the stars might actually stay the same size. But they still move. But to get that the column has to be made quite big, which takes too much space. And moving stars are not much better than resizing stars. I want to change rating in the play list with just one click (or two for half stars). This is with Amarok 2.4.0
This is not a wish, it's a bug. The layout should pretty much stay the same, but it doesn't in a single-line layout as seen in the attachment. (Lukas, sorry, no one-click rating for you. That would prevent users from dragging around tracks. However you can one-click-rate the song in the context view)

@Ralf. I don't get the problem with one-click ratings. Could you please explain what you mean by "dragging around tracks"? Rating songs other than the current playing is really hard at the moment.
Now that I think about it, drag-and-drop could still work One click on the star could rate it. Pressing the button, holding it and moving the track to a new position would move it inside the playlist. So yes, seems like one-click-rating could be possible after all.
It's completely natural that someone would want to rate a song _after_ listening to it, so single-click rating in the playlist is a definite UX improvement. Going to line-editing mode takes time and makes multiple ratings super cumbersome, but the only alternative currecntly is making conscious effort to rate things before the song ends (or restarting it, messing up stats for people who use that).
Git commit d22e7a088f69edbfa2c61362802552c85e4c6035 by Ralf Engels. Committed on 12/01/2013 at 22:16. Pushed by rengels into branch 'master'. Fix The size of rating stars should not change in inline editing Improved a lot of size issues. You need to pull a lot of tricks out of your bag to get the widgets to have exactly the same layout. Still it seems that I am missing a pixel or so somewhere. Changing the ratings directly with one click is another issue that I don't want to tackle right now.

Hi Wyatt, I haven't opened another bug/wish. Please do so if you like. The problem with the single click rating is that it's kind of tricky to do. That's why I haven't done it right away.
All right, it's up at bug #313183 for people who are interested in following it. Thanks again, Ralf.
