Yay! I got it!

How do I make it default in the .layout file, without having to chose it in the right-button options?

Oh, god, now I got what you said!

Can you believe I didn't notice until now that there's a lyrics tab inside the lyrics tab?


Is there a way to put the queue tab alongside the lyrics tab? And what do I do with the "Follow Playing Song"?

Well, I had to separate it from queue, somehow.

AlexC had a different panel for queue. I couldn't bear the lost space to something I won't use *everytime*, so I thought I could tab it along with lyrics, since I won't be looking at lyrics when enqueueing songs and when listening I don't need to look at the queue list except occasionaly.


BTW, is there a way to change the lyrics thingy? As you can see, the Auto scroll option is falling off screen. Is there a way to change those options and/or group them in two lines?

This is a very very simple layout based upon AlexC-base layout.

Code Select Expand

[Lyrics, queue and songtree]

Type=G
Default         = Window size=1280x800,sticky=0
VBall           = MBMenu HBStatus _HPmain HPEnd

MBMenu          = MainMenuItem PSortItem PFilterItem QueueItem
HBStatus        = Prev Stop Play Next LabelTime Length _Scale -Pref
HPEnd           = HPAbout Equalizer
HPAbout         = _AABox1(aa=artist) _AABox2(aa=album)
HPmain          = _HPpart
HPpart          = VBpart2 TBpart3
VBpart2         = _VPcenter
TBpart3        = _"Lyrics" Context _"Queue" QueueList
VPcenter       = _VBcenterdown
VBcenterdown    = HBSearch _SongTree
HBSearch        = SimpleSearch ResetFilter Refresh PlayFilter FLock -TogButton(icon=gtk-dialog-info,widget=HPEnd) -Total

Would appreciate suggestions. It's still not perfect to my taste, but I don't really know what exactly's missing.

How would I go about using your column?

I removed the column that show the little enqueued and playing icons to free that little extra space. However, I find that I miss a way to identify enqueued songs, specially when enqueueing with the middle mouse button, that is kinda erratic.

I miss the visual feedback, but don't think I need an extra column to do that.

Is there a way to make, for example, enqueued songs italic (same way playing song is bold).

And the extra column could come in handy for people who need to know the order of the queue (meaning the icon could be changed to reflect this, with some kind of numeration going on... but this is better discussed in the suggestions session).

Though this is also a feature request, it's more of a "can I change the code quickly to do this?"

Is it possible? I really like the idea of not having my music stop when restarting X and stuff like that.

Thanks!


Actually I modified AlexC layout a tad bit so it's better suited to my taste now.

And I can't believe I didn't think about it being fullscreen. If I ever run into the same problem again, I'll know how to proceed now.

I am using the AlexC-base layout, and I resize some panels dragging their borders to the edge of the gmb window, making it as if they aren't even there.

However, when I close gmb and start it again, those panels will be there again.

It also happened with quodlibet-like layout, but not with "with browser".

I didn't have time to test all layouts one by one (and some of them do not have resizable panels).


Also, AlexC-compact (I think that's the name) has everything completely maximized, with no title bar or anything.  I tried changing the resolution of it, but it's like it was trying to be a fullscreen layout. I don't know how it got that way. The only way to change layouts was deleting it (which is why I don't know the exact name of the layout).


(If there's anything that's completely essential, in my opinion, is a visual way to create layouts, I hope you'll get around to it eventually).

Well, since it's already on the table, I really dislike the current logo. Nothing that would make me think less of gmb, but if squentin has no particular attachment to that logo, I think it would be nice to think of alternatives.

But maybe it's just me.

When I hit "Next" repeatedly, browsing through my songs, sometimes the lyrics fetched will be from a previous song.


For instance, if I am listening to song A, then click the next button repeatedly to get to song D, passing through songs B and C, sometimes song D will have the lyrics set as if it was song B or C.


I am using gmb 1.0.2, so if it's something that was already fixed in recent versions, I'm sorry.

I would be against making that behavior default, although I do agree that making such behavior available is a good choice.


Even if you do make it default, it's not really a big deal, as long as it's possible to easily change back to how things are right now.

Yes, I do use symbolic links.

I have a link in my home directory pointing to a folder in a Windows partition.

When I check the songs, each has indeed a diferent path, one of them being /home/satoshi/Music/... and the other being the /mnt/windows/Music/....

My library folder points directly to the Windows directory, not to the symlink.

Deleting the symlink (it wasn't all that necessary) did the trick.

I am using gmb 1.0.2 and I am having some problems with duplicate music entries.

When I am in the Browser, with music sorted by anything except by Path, every music will be show duplicated:

Also, whenever I search any term, regardless of sorting method, it will show every entry duplicated:

This is really annoying because all that happens with sorting order happens when setting playing order. I have to use playing orders that follow the path, otherwise any song will always be played twice (sometimes it seems to play even more times than that, but I am not sure).
