Too Easy VII -- Things we should do because they are so simple

(1/21) > >>

JimH:
We've done many "small change" request threads in the past.  Here's the last one.
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,126265.0.html

The rules are the same and if you don't read them, you may find your post missing.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE POSTING
Long or complex posts will be removed.

In the Too Complex thread, we were told how unintuitive MC could be.

So here's the challenge for those who want intuitive software.

Suggest a change that will make MC easier to use (but NOT a feature request).

If you can meet the following guidelines, we'll make the change.

A change needs to be:

1.  Easy to implement (less than an hour of our time)

2.  Generally useful to most users

3.  Something that doesn't remove existing functionality and that isn't controversial

In other words, it must clearly be an improvement.

and

4.  Something that can be described in about 10 lines or less (not complex to describe)

PLEASE don't post anything else in this thread (no "+1" posts or comments).  Start a new thread if it doesn't fit the requirements.

Thanks!

Introduce load/save preset for "Fill properties from filename" (F12). "Rename, Move & Copy (F6) already have this so it should be easy to replicate/utilize in the other tool also
Done, thanks Matt

comox:
Allow users to customize the source of album artwork for the "Get From Internet..." function.

To keep the development effort under 1 hour, require users to edit the source link in the registry.

Users would be responsible for respecting copyright rules.

comox:
Make data files play like image files so it's easier to read about music while it's playing.


Interesting idea

comox:
When I select a complex view that takes say 12 seconds to render, MC sometimes does not display the spiny thingy indicating it's thinking for the first 6 seconds of that period.

I know from experience that all is OK despite MC appearing dead, but it might be confusing for new users.

Good idea
