Title: preview mode: very nice feature but please make it easier to use
Post by: comox on June 14, 2023, 12:27:11 pm

Preview mode is a very nice feature for sampling an album quickly however I find it too fussy to use on a regular basis:

First select a group of files, then add them to playing now, then 3 clicks: Player/Preview Mode/Play 5 Seconds.

Please make it easier to use this excellent feature.

A couple ideas:
1) Make the Preview Mode persistent until it is turned off by selecting Play Entire File.
2) Make it possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to preview modes via Resoures.xml.

Another possible solution that might be easier to implement:

3) Add the last Preview Mode selection to the list of recent commands that is accessed via right click, and optionally but very desirable, cause preview mode to send the selected items to Playing Now and then start the preview (all with one click).
