Thanks for your report. This is something that I would like to do. Baloo is already able to help to quickly found them. *** Bug 417609 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 437317 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 441263 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** That's it. Playlists menu item on the left. Click and choose your saved list instantly. Do you mean popup window with list of playlists? Elisa has "file manager like ui". Playlists can be opened like Tracks. Press Playlists menu, choose or search playlist, click and it starts. Popup is good when you have few playlists, but if there is huge list of playlists it can be problem. *** Bug 461970 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 468525 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Created attachment 119382 [details] How Lollypop handles saved playlists Right now Elisa does support user-saved playlists. You can save the current playlist to disk, and open it later via the file open dialog. However this is a pretty awkward workflow compared to other music players I've used. Here are some ways that the UX could be inproved: - When a playlist is saved, don't spawn a save dialog; instead, ask for a name and automatically save it to an appropriate location on disk (presumably somewhere in ~/Music?) - All saved playlists should be visible in a new "Saved Playlists" item in the sidebar This would allow user-saved playlists to actually be useful because you could access them quickly using the main UI rather than having to tediously open them using a dialog. I'm attaching a screenshot of how Lollypop does it, for comparison.
