Version: 1.4-SVN (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux Hi, please add a "play" option to the contextmenu in the collection browser. I see "load", "append to playlist" and "queue tracks" but on "play". If I search a song and want to play it, I always have to append it to the playlist first and then play that item.
Created attachment 14399 [details] Added a "Play" option to the collectionbrowser Hi, I played a bit around and added a "Play" option to the collectionbrowser. Hope I made everything right (It wasn't much to do). Please add this option to amarok because it is very usefull when you are browsing your collection.
I like this idea. It should happen in 2.0 if I don't forget. I'll probably call it "Append and Play"
Actually it's already implemented in Amarok 2 :) If you drag something from the collection, it will now automatically start playing (given that nothing else is already playing).
This is about playing the track immediately even if something is playing. reopening
Ok, but if this is a good idea is debatable. I don't really think it's needed.
Personally I'd like to have it. Cause right now I always have to add the song to the playlist, scroll to the bottom of the playlist and double click the song. Way too many steps in my opinion.
(In reply to comment #4) > This is about playing the track immediately even if something is playing. > reopening I second this opinion. Maybe a config option would be nice in the main Amarok config menu to enable it .
No doubt, this should be added. If something else is playing it should interrupt and play whatever you chose to play. It is all about making things a pleasure to use. Browsing your collection becomes a problem when you need to jump through hoops to get things done. Right-click, Play song. With a configuration that allow you to choose if a double-click should play the song immediately without appending to playlist, or if it should append to playlist. Mine would be set to play immediately. Also, I used this a lot in WinAmp together with a dynamic playlist that lists all the latest songs I have listened to. This way I could just click away in my collection and if I wanted, I could go back and see what songs I had been listeneing too this session. A simple thing like this missing is actually annoyance enough to minimize my use of Amarok. I love the functions that are there already, but I think there are some things that needs to be added to get the feature set more complete. I hope the codebase now is in a state where it is easy for the developers to add small features like this without too much work.

By the way, this is NOT a wishlist bug--this is a serious regression, an apparent-dataloss bug, and major-broken-functionality bug.
Um...wrong bug...why did Bugzilla show me a different bug after commenting on another bug? Intuitive-UI-fail. :(

This wish has been granted.This report should be removed.
Simeon: it think you misunderstood the wish: you can not play a track from the Collection Browser without adding it to the playlist pane, but that is what this wish is about.
