Version: 2.2.2 (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), Debian packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-trunk-686 In Amarok 2.2.2 I can't select repeat playlist and random order at the same time, I just can select one, but in amarok 1 I could select both options, repeat the playlist and randomly play.
In Amarok 2.2.2 I can't select repeat playlist and random order at the same time, I just can select one, but in amarok 1 I could select both options, repeat the playlist and randomly play.
This actually never worked in Amarok 2.x, and Amarok 1.4 was a completely different codebase, so please do not compare *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 221798 ***
I'm not asking is ever worked in amarok 2.x, I'm just saying if Amarok 1 had that opstions, why amarok 2 doesn't, is a great tool, that you can repeat the entire list and play it in random order, no or play in random order or repeat the list. And please if you no go to say something mmmm constrctive, don't let us know your opinion. Good luck team KDE Rock.
mmm so is a bug, rare i search for it and nothing result, well better to me, is a real bug I was start thinking that I was wrong and ths is not a bug. Wel I hope in future versions Amarok 2 will have these features.
Copy pasted from my reply to Bug 221798: prior to 2.2.1 we had the _option_ to specify random and repeat modes separately. The only issue was that internally in Amarok only one of the mode would ever actually be active at once, so in essence the ui was lying. The big issue here as I see it is that many combinations of random and repeat simply makes no sense at all. For instance, what would "repeat track" + "random <something>" do? The simple solution here is to simply ignore the random mode, but if both are specified in the ui, this is being dishonest to the user. And what about "random album" + "repeat album"? You could argue that "random track" + "repeat album" might make sense (I think this is a bit of a corner case that can be handled using playlist shuffling if really needed), but other than this, the only thing that really makes sense is "random <something>" + "repeat playlist". So I am not opposed to allowing "repeat playlist" to be active at the same time as a random mode, but other than that I really don't think it makes any sense to combine the modes.
