It's unclear what the Star does in the pop-up. #7

Hi there! Using Spotify AUR i tried using the star to add a song to my liked playlist, however it had no effect. Today I played a youtube video and the applet came up as usual with the star? This makes me quite confused as to the purpose of the star. What does it actually do? If it saves tracks, then where? image

Reading commit 574b416095cfd30cd33559742dd0b2d8daf1d136 (#6 's final commit) it seems that when the star is toggled, it makes THAT player show in the panel. This is a neat feature, and I like it. I do wish that it's function was made clearer in the README

Hello,

I apologize for the delayed response, I was on vacation.

You’re right, the star icon doesn't make its purpose very obvious. I’ll replace it with a pin icon, which should be more intuitive. I'll also add it to the readme, as you suggested, I think it's a good idea.

I'm reopening this issue, as I think that this is an issue that I should fix.

Hi there! I hope your vacation went well!

I think that changing the star to a pin would make the purpose infinitely more clear. Maybe a small toast message could also be shown when hovering? Similar to how the Shuffler Applet does it (Budgie Extras), this makes this cryptic icon's purpose clear. image

Hi, there!

I agree, adding a tooltip with message describing the button's purpose is a good idea. I'll add it.

Sure thing! Sorry I can't be of more help. Let me know if you need anything. I wish you luck!
