Not sure whether this is desired in the Playing list as it would probably always result in the overflowed header like on the attached screengrab. Assigned to Rusty to review/evaluate. image.png (28,198 bytes) |

You already have the overflowed header when you have selected two or more files. Secondly, if you have a Playing list with so many files as you have on that screenshot and if you scroll it somewhere in the middle where the selected file is not visible, without that info showed in the status bar you wouldn't know that you have selected any file. |

A couple of points: 1) It's not great that the text overflows when multiple tracks are selected 2) The most useful bit of data (in this context) when multiple tracks are selected is the # tracks and the time. 3) Ideally selection should be consistent With the above in mind, perhaps when NP track(s) are selected, MM temporarily replaces 'Playing 3/5 (hh:mm:ss)' with 'Selected: x files, hh:mm:ss)'. And reverts to the normal header after x seconds. This would solve all of the above issues. Thoughts? |

Sounds good to me. |

In my opinion, if file(s) is(are) selected, info about it(them) should be visible all the time, not only when you select file(s). Otherwise, you could have the situation that you don't know if file is selected or not, as I explained before. Here are some suggestions: 1. if Playing panel is wide enough, it should contain all info as it is now (Playing ... / Selected ...), even for just one selected file; 2. if Playing panel is not wide enough: a) make the whole info to scroll like a banner, similarly to the song info in Winamp; b) show selected info on mouse move over Playing panel for x seconds. |

2 c) if Playing panel is not wide enough, show tooltip with the whole info when mouse is over status bar. |

Fixed in 5.0.4.2663 |
|
|
Verified that a single file selection is shown and that the selection is shown temporarily on 2663. Not sure I'm a fan of this implementation. To get the information back you need to redo the selection. There is the alternative to use the Playing node if this information is important. |

|
Verified 2683 Playing info is shown in Playlist on every Playlist selection change event for 3-5s so if you Select multiple tracks with CTRL+Click it is constantly shown Reopen if needed. |
