Hi Devs

At the moment the right click context menu of the player offers three Stop after options, all of which apply to the files currently in the Now Playing panel (top right of screen on my installation):

• Off - turns off Stop after for all files in the list

• Current file - turns on Stop after for the currently playing file

• Every file - turns on Stop after for all files for the list.

This functionality works file but is a bit limited. I recommend two updates:
First: Add a new option and rename the existing ones to make the difference between their scope of operation explicit:

• Off for Every File - turn off Stop after for all files in the list (the existing Off option)

• Off for Current File - turn off Stop after for the current filie (new)

• On for Current File - turn on Stop after for the current file (the existing Current file) option

• On for Every File - turn on Stop after for all files in the (the existing Every file option)

My rationale for this first update is that, if you have selected the existing Stop after for Every file and that is what you want for most but not all of the Now Playing list, there is currently no way to turn off Stop after for just a single file - you have to turn it off for all and then turn it back on for all the files lower in the Now Playing list, which is a bit dumb.

Second: Add some Stop After options to the right click context menu in the Now Playing list to set Stop after or Stop Off for individual files in the list.
My rationale for this update is that my playlists are prepared in advance and I know which songs I want to pause playing after, but at the moment I have to wait until that song is playing to make the setting, which is a fragile way to go about it.

These updates would flesh out the functionality and make preparation of playlist for a show more systematic.

Cheers
