1348: Editing Properties in Now Playing changes [#7346]

[Lowlander]

Editing Properties of selected track in Now Playing will change Selected Album Art in Art & Details window to selected track in Tracklisting when clicking OK in Properties window.

1) Select a track in Track Listing
2) Select a track in the Now Playing
3) Right click on that track in Now Playing window
4) Click OK (no changes needed)
5) Notice that Art & Details Selected changes to Tracklisting tracks Album Art

Only seen in Art & Details and Art Browser with Details views.

Tested on fresh, skinned 1348 on XP. Can anyone else reproduce?

[PetrCBR]

Can't reproduce.

[Lowlander]

I'm in the Music Collection, using the Art with Details view and have the Art & Details window on the Selected tab. Then I select a track in the Tracklisting. Now select a track in the Now Playing window, right click Properties, click OK. Notice that the Album Art changes to the Album Art of the track previously selected in the Tracklisting.

On my setup I don't need all these steps to reproduce.
Simply right clicking on a track triggers his illustration appearing in the "Art and details" pane (selected)

I don't like this behavior in mediamonkey re. the right clicking.
If I right click on something I'm not intending to focus it.

This is similar to this issue: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5041

That's a different issue as it's the right click focuses issue. The issue I describe is not related to right clicking, it happens on OKing the Properties window.

Sorry Lowlander. I forgot that step where you actually intentionally left click on the track to select it.

I understand now and I can reproduce.

Sorry for the confusion.

Btw: Should I open a new thread for the bug I mentioned: right clicking changes the focus of the Art & Details panel?

[Lowlander]

No worries.

I would say that your issue is a wishlist item. It has been discussed for tree nodes where I do agree it shouldn't happen (long node loading for no reason). But I think it's logical that right click on a file changes selection.

[Lowlander]

Very strange things are happening. Now it doesn't change the Selected art anymore, but Filters the Tracklisting when doing the steps twice in a row.

I really don't see why? I find it quite absurd and rather annoying.

[Lowlander]

I personally find it useful and Windows Explorer does the same here on XP.

Weird!
Here I can still reproduce consistently the issue. Using the steps you described.

[Lowlander]

I'm being stupid and not following my own instructions. I was in the Details view. In this view doing the sequence twice results in a filtered list. This happens with or without the Track Browser.

That is how it behaves in Windows Explorer (in XP, Vista, and Win 7), and seems to be the standard.

I can't reproduce that, but using instructions in your first post it is reproducible.

And in the Art Browser with Details view Step 4 causes the selected Album's art to refresh in the Art Browser.
