Snap-To "Now Playing"

Post by ByTor 03 »

Hello,

Playing hundreds of files included in a Folder.

After selecting the 1st song to play and after it finishes, then the next song starts. The player does not "snap-to" that song. It doesn't appear on the screen. You have to scroll to find it. Does not matter what the View Selection / View Elements are. The screen stays on the 1st song selected.

Is there a setting to make the player snap-to the current song playing?

Using MediaMonkey_2024.0.0.3082.

Thanks in advance.

When you say 'Player' do you mean the Playing list panel or the Playing node loaded in the Filelisting?

The Playing List Panel.

The main view where you can choose and customize columns.

The 'Playing' list panel automatically jumps to the current song, the Playing node doesn't (a Hotkey can be assigned to jump).

I'm not sure you're actually talking about the 'Playing' list window. Although the 'Playing' list window can have columns configured, this isn't the case by default. Thus presumably you're talking about the middle Filelisting set to Playing, instead of the right (default) 'Playing' list window.

Sorry.

Can I insert an image from the clipboard?

When I select "Insert Image", it does not paste.

You're in the FIlelisting which doesn't auto-jump, you'll need to manually use the Hotkey. The 'Playing' list window (which you have disabled) will follow along as files play.

Thank you.

How difficult would it be to add this functionality to the File List view?

Would I need to add a Feature Request?
