I agree and have been thinking along the same lines a lot recently.
Would love to see more use made of the toolbars.
A toolbar specifically for shortcuts to playlists as suggested with the added feature of being a drop target (LOVELY idea, u are a genious) would be great.
By making it it's own toolbar it could be hidden easily and modified easily with loads of icons on it and arranged slightly better on the screen than just one toolbar that's meant to have all the icons on it.
I'd love to see the toolbars developed like Microsoft Office where there are like: Edit, Format, View toolbars all of which can be individually placed, edited and hidden.
Except for MJ it could be: Drop Target/Shortcut, Edit (have one click access to any of the properties tools we wanted), Get Image from internet, etc etc. Possibly even another one for smartlists. A tiny little toolbar at the top with say 5 or 10 pre-made searches would be so much easier for me to access when also browsing my media library than having to first close this, then enter the playlists, then choose the appropriate one. A bit like now how there are currectly icons for Top Hits, and Recently imported except we could add our own and have it's own toolbar so I can position it where I want it. Right now I cant get any more icons onto my toolbar and still have it fit on screen.
Maybe another toolbar that plugins can put themselves into.
To summaries the toolbars I'd personally like:
- Playlists/Drop Targets
- Plugins
- Edit (File property tools)
- Pre-configured searches (ie smart lists)
- Normal one for my MJ tools - Rip/Burn/Convert/Import etc.
MJ 9 is doing a lot for useability with adding the new wizard for searches, this could also be another big useability feature to add
