Could You PLEASE...

(1/3) > >>

dichotomous1:
Please consider adjustments to these two functions.

1- The volume adjustment slider function activates no matter where the cursor is.
If the user trys to move the open MC window on their desktop and doesn't click in just the right place to drag it, the volume slider activates shooting the volume up.  Even if clicking on the opposite side of the MC window, away from the volume slider, the volume shoots up. If the users finger brushes the trackpad, the volume shoots up.  Even with Volume Protection activated, this is beyond extremely annoying, dangerous to sensitive and costly equipment and could be considered a liability.

2- Overwrite of Playing now needs to have a confirm prior to activation.
One could spend hours creating a playlist in Plating Now via the action window.  Then just one click not slow enough on a track, accidental double click or brush to the trackpad and the entire Playing Now playlist is wiped out and overwritten with the single track clicked on.  It happens to me constantly.  Hours wasted creating playlists for gatherings etc, overwritten with a single click, no confirmation.  Same goes for the drag and drop.  Drop the track into the action window in the wrong place and the entire playlist is overwritten/ wiped out.

Thanks for listening, much appreciated

Matt:
A Playing Now overwrite confirmation would probably be easy but it might also be annoying.  I wonder if it could just show a never show again check?  Thanks for the idea.

blgentry:
You might want to know that there is a set of saved "playing nows" under Playlists > Recent Playing Nows .  I'm not exactly sure how often that is updated, but I've used it quite a few times to get back my Playing Now after doing something silly and accidentally overwriting the whole thing.

RoderickGI:
2. One could actually create a Playlist instead of manually building a list of files in Playing Now, and then one would never overwrite the contents accidentally, and one would always retain the full list of track desired for use at an event. One could even retain Playlist from previous events for replaying at a future date, which may be useful.

Also, Brian's suggestion would save you some of the time. The Recent Playing Now's are saved pretty often, although mostly on stopping and maybe starting playback, or when Playing Now is replaced. But also time-based I think. They do get automatically deleted after a while though, so I wouldn't completely rely on them.


1. That isn't MC doing that. I suspect that you are using System Volume, and that your mouse driver is set to change volume in Windows, which changes the System Volume, and hence the MC volume. Use Internal Volume in MC. It is better, and Volume Protection works as described in the Wiki.

RD James:
Confirmation to completely replace Playing Now would be great... as would the option to undo a change like that.
I can see adding confirmation causing issues if using a remote app like JRemote however - which is where it often happens for me. I try to play music to the device but don't notice that it's set to another zone and clear that list.
