Description Māris Nartišs 2011-10-06 09:52:10 UTC

Version:           2.4.3 (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

Currently it's impossible to select song title, artist and other info displayed in Current Track applet within Amarok main window. When listening to internet radio, sometimes I would like to copy an artists name or song title i.e. to search for a video clip on Youtube etc.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
It should be possible to select text within Current Track applet and there should be a right click context menu with "Copy" option.

Allow copying current track details by clicking.

With text copying from QML Labels being surprisingly hard
(https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-14077), this might be the cleanest
way to implement at least some kind of copy functionality.

A hint of the action is provided with a small copy action icon on hover,
and its opacity is animated on click.
