PlaylistEditor: weird control button behavior #1943

Hydrogen version * : all


In the bottom section of the PlaylistEditor there are four buttons: rewind, play, stop, fast forward.

"play" does load the song currently selected in the dialog and - if already selected - acts as a play/pause toggle. "stop" works like the stop button in the main player control panel. So far so good.

What confuses me are the "rewind" and "fast forward" buttons. I would expect them to switch to the previous or next song in the playlist. Instead, they just move transport to the previous or next column. Like their counterparts in the main player control. But since the dialog is not modal and the latter controls can still be used, I do not see the point of duplicating their actions instead of providing a feature dedicated to the dialog they're residing in.
