Hi,

I'm used to double-clicking a playing video to get it to enter (and exit) fullscreen. Could that be added to the mediaplayer plugin?

Also, to play a file, right now you have to click the "Media Player" button on the left and select it. What about adding a right-click option to play a file in the Files tab and also on the torrent itself? And perhaps a configuration option to use the integrated player by default when opening a movie?

Anyway, thanks for the great software!

Currently, double clicking starts playing something, I guess we could check if we are already playing the double clicked item. However wouldn't this be a bit confusing.

I don't know if it is possible in the files tab (which is part of another plugin), getting stuff part of a plugin in the menus and toolbars of an app is no problem, however from plugin to plugin, I don't know if this is possible.

What do you mean by that ? If you open it in dolphin or konqueror, do you want KT to start playing it ?

I mean double-clicking in the actual video area once a video is already playing - that currently does nothing.

No, nothing to do with KDE itself. When I currently double-click on a video file in the Files tab, or select "Preview" on the torrent containing a video file, it is opened in an external player configured by KDE. So I was thinking about a config option to open it internally, or another right-click option. But as you said only the Preview probably be changed.

I see, well that shouldn't be too difficult.

We could make a detour via the app itself to make this possible.
