Description Davide Ferrari 2005-02-07 20:08:23 UTC

Version:           1.2-CVS (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Scenario: I've a great numbers of albums from the artist I'm currently listening to in the context browser

By default they are all "maximized", showing all the tracks names. If I click on the album name, it gets "minimized", by not showing anymore the tracks name. Nothing happens to the playlist. Then, if I click again on it to maximize it again, the album is added to the playlist.

IMO this is not the correct behaviour, because I could be simply "looking through" the albums present in the context browser to find a particular song, and if I maximize again an album it doesn't mean I would listen to it. And since the queueing is a 2-clicks or a drag'n'drop away, I think this shouldn't happen.

it depends on, where you click to maximize.
if you click on the 'album name', the tracks will be added to the playlist.
if you click on the background, next to the album cover, the tracks willnot be added to the playlist.

Well, pardon me but this is not too much intuitive ;) I think that it should be different...

Comment 3 Reigo Reinmets 2005-03-08 20:17:41 UTC

I agree it is not intuitive and i think we should provide:

somekind of a "+","-" type of a thing where to click in order to maximise, minimize the album..

OR

We can provide a simple "add" text and allow adding only through that.. 
These are just suggestions though. I'm waiting for constructive criticism :)

Comment 4 Davide Ferrari 2005-03-08 23:50:16 UTC

Don't know where you'd like to put that "add" text but keep in mind that in other languages it could be very long written (i.e. in italian would be "aggiungi")

I'm really tired now but tomorrow I'll try to comment here what I think should be done for the left panel (I mean: coherent click handling)

Comment 6 Matías Costa 2005-03-10 11:38:52 UTC

Ops! I mispelled the bug number, sorry. The related bug is Bug#96872

Comment 7 Mark Kretschmann 2005-07-07 09:40:48 UTC

Sebr just fixed this, but placed the BUG keyword on the same line by accident, so the bug wasn't closed. Closing.
