There are three places in the sidebar (that I'm aware of) where double-clicking on an item will add it to the playlist. However, they all do so slightly differently. Double-clicking in the collection browser appends the item(s) to the playlist (but the current track keeps playing). Double-clicking on a radio-stream will replace the current playlist (but the current track keeps playing). Double-clicking on a podcast appends the podcast to the playlist and starts playing the podcast.

It seems to me that there should be a standardized behavior for double-clicking. My preference would be that double-clicking an item replaces the playlist with it, and then starts playing the first item (most people I've introduced to amarok (including me) seem to expect this, and I can drag'n'drop things to the playlist that I want to append them). However, I realize that there's a lot of debate on this topic, and it's more important to me that the same action have the same effect in different places.

Does this make sense? Is there any chance it'll be implemented?

Any interest in this whatsoever? I know it's not a particularly big or glamorous change, but it's always been something that bugs me, and it seems like a relatively easy fix to make.

perhaps you'll raise more developer interest if you post the request as a bug or wish on http://bugs.kde.org - they're more likely to see it!

Righty-ho. Thanks!

I totally agree that this should be made consistent.

Well, I reported it at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138125 if you're interested in following it.

Wow. It's already been fixed. That's pretty nifty.
