Feature description
version 1.0.0, Android 11
Suggesting to re-arrange / re-size player controls in landscape mode in order to make better use of the vertical space. I'm aware this will probably be a minor issue for the time being.
Screenshot is from SMT Recorder but the layout in 1.0.0 is the same.
My suggestions for a landscape-specific layout:
(1) Move the tab switch buttons from the bottom in line with the search bar and settings and info button. Search is imo not needed to be permanently on screen ... items will perhaps anyway be moved to a drop-down menu in the future.
(2) Drastically reduce the whitespace between the file list box and the seek bar. Leave just enough space for clumsy fingers and possibly for a future marker feature.
(3) Move the payer controls to the right/left (option?) of the seek bar. Reduce button size and whitespace around buttons by 1/3, possibly arrange them vertically (yes why not!).
-- or --
(4) Re-arrange the two panes (file list and player control) horizontally, as the list also has almost 50% whitespace. The seek bar could still get the whole width extending below the list, as the wide seek bar makes the landscape layout a convenience.
Why do you want this feature?
When using the player on a normal smartphone screen in landscape orientation (the orientation I mainly use), the player controls take up way too much vertical space so that the file list is barely usable.
