Working tree for the community fork of Songbird, Nightingale. If building, use the sb-trunk-oldxul (development) branch, with the tag 1.12.1 tag for stable, for now. The master-xul-9.0.1 branch is the current progress in building Nightingale with XULRunner 9 and builds, but is broken. All help in terms of patches and pull requests is welcome.

Library Scan and Other Dialogs Shouldn't Lock Focus #61

Open ilikenwf opened 12 years ago

ilikenwf commented 12 years ago

When importing music, artwork, and using other dialogs, some of them lock the player's controls. I can understand locking music selection, but at the least, skip, play/pause and stop should not be locked, but be usable while still leaving the dialog on top, so that skipping and stopping music that plays while doing an import or other similar operation is possible.

I strongly agree on this, I will look if there is a matching report on the Songbird Bugzilla

...and eventually we could consider doing what iTunes does and have the dialog in the player info area, or in a toolbar in the bottom.

iTunes import/scan (in Songbird/Ngale) actually uses the statusbar. So it doesn't block the UI on startup. I think thats the way to go.
