Add ability to toggle between favorite devices... #311

Closed rkaycom closed 7 months ago

rkaycom commented 7 months ago

As someone who has a lot of devices that can't be disabled. I need a quick method to switch between my speakers and my headphones. I would like you to add an option to the "Mouse" menu that will allow you to toggle between your "Audio Device" and your "Alternative Audio Device". The "Set Next/Prev Default Device" isn't appropriate for this as it just randomly goes through all my devices.

It was added to version 1.1.9.466 There are a couple of screenshots. The favorite list is used for tray context menu and Set Next/Prev Default device (this function also was improved) image image

Oh my, completely missed this feature, I will investigate. Many thanks.

@rkaycom You did not miss anything. I have just uploaded a new version. So please take a look at it and I would love to hear your feedback from.

Ah ahah, yes, I just realised my mistake, thank you so much, that is awesome, so quick to assist. I will give it a go and let your know my thoughts!

So got to use this function tonight, works great, just what I wanted. I've officially replaced my windows volume system tray icon with Volume2. Fixes a major bug bear for me. I have always liked the custom options of Volume2 but this was the one feature I feel it missed that other less useful programs have. I would only suggest that the description "Set Next Default Device" be changes to something like; "Set Next Default/Favorite Device" so it's a bit clearer this feature exists. Many thanks for your quick implementation.

P.S. I was going to make a donation but PayPal won't let me. It gives a vague error about "regulations" just FYI.

Is it possible to add a negative function? I want to block all my HDMI devices. The issue is that I have multiple Bluetooth devices, making it impossible for me to manage a positive/favorite list.

In the Favorites view, I can't enlarge the columns, causing names to be cut off. Also, the GUI and/or some dialog windows don't handle a dual-monitor setup with different DPI resolutions well.

using version: 1.1.9.466

@zedd-0 I thought about this and possible solution is allow adding task on device connected and make it as favorite. Or another solution do not re-write favorite list all the time to do not rewrite devices that are not connected (this one is better for me)
