Support to "Chrome Apps" #717

Open paulera opened 9 months ago

paulera commented 9 months ago

I am reporting this as a feature request since it seems like an improvement to support a 3rd party app's features rather than a defect.

Context

Google Chrome allows adding a shortcut to a website as an app via Menu -> Save and Share -> Create Shortcut -> Check "Open as Window" -> Give it a name -> Create.

These Chrome Apps are displayed individually in the BackgroundMusic menu. A user might want to control their volumes independently.

Current undesired behaviour

When Chrome Apps are running, even though they all show in the BackgroundMusic menu individually, changing their volume won't affect them. The Google Chrome volume still controls the volume for the browser and all open Chrome Apps.

Expected behaviour

Ideally, the control volumes in the menu should affect each Chrome App individually. Alternatively, BackgroundMusic should ignore Chrome Apps and show only the volume control for Google Chrome, if there is no support.
