I tried the Qt 5 version before, and the player has a blue progress bar that fills the full length of the screen (the one on the left of the volume, to scroll through the song). 

1 --> On the Qt 6 version, this blue progress bar is only 2cm long (same length as the volume bar), so it is hard to scroll forward or backwards.

2 --> Not a bug but a suggestion: it would be nice if the playtime counter would switch from "time passed" to "time remaining" if you click on it. That would be helpful as a dj so I can immediately see the length of a song. Or the system VLC uses: on the left of the "progress bar" the elapsed time, and on the right side the total/remaining time.

thanks!

PS. is there a separate forum topic on "kid3"? I did not find it :-)

Btw, the bar with the pause and stop button & the progress bar can be moved. I moved it to the top as I like it better than at the bottom, but I noticed when I re-start the app that this bar is back at the bottom. Is there a way to save the preferred location of the bar?

The size of the slider is now fixed. You can find a snapshot release kid3-git20230208-Darwin-amd64.dmg at https://sourceforge.net/projects/kid3/files/kid3/development/. Note that I have now built all the desktop binaries with Qt 6.4.2, so the Mac Qt package is now kid3-git20230208-Darwin-amd64.dmg (the other one has Qt5 in its name).
I will have a look at the other feature suggestions soon.

Clicking on the play tool bar time toggles now between elapsed and remaining time. The play tool bar is restored in the last used dock area. You can test it with version git20230211 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/kid3/files/kid3/development/.
