Description Romain 2011-11-22 11:58:19 UTC

Version:           2.4.3 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Most music players I know use the "previous track" button to jump to the beginning of the *current* track and only jump to the previous track if the button is clicked again.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. play a track, wait some time until it's well into the track (10 seconds ?)
2. press "previous track" or ctrl-z shortcut



Actual Results:  
Amarok moves to the previous track in the playlist

Expected Results:  
Unless in the first 3 (?) seconds of the track, Amarok should jump only to the beginning of the current track, not the previous track in the playlist.

This is not a bug but intended behavior. If you want to go to the beginning of the track just double click it or use the progress slider.

Comment 2 Romain 2011-11-22 17:30:03 UTC

1. This is extremely weird and does not conform to other players
2. How about keyboard shortcuts ?

Comment 3 Myriam Schweingruber 2011-11-22 22:22:34 UTC

Please do not reopen this, it is NOT a bug, Amarok absolutely doesn't have any obligation to do like other players.This is a developers decisions.

Seriously, players who jump to the start of the current track when you explicitly ask for the precious one would drive me nuts. This is a developers decisions

Comment 4 Romain 2011-11-23 10:53:32 UTC

It is your right. However breaking behavior with all known portable music players *and* the most widely used music player (iTunes) seems ... unwise. Even my old hi-fi CD player had this behavior ! So does Winamp and pretty much anything the "common user" (you know, the 99% of the population using Windows and MacOs ?) is accustomed to.

Furthermore, if I may ask again (only for the third time), what about keyboard shortcuts ?

Well, anyway, no need to worry about me, I'm not an Amarok user anymore. So long !
