Hi all,

Here's some things I've been wishing Amarok did for some time now:

1 - Link the display of the collection with the music currently playing. In other words, synchronize the display of the collection with the selected/currently playing song in the playlist, in the same way Eclipse links the files displayed in the Project Manager with the file being edited. Can be done also in the same way, with an button turning the feature on or off.

2 - Have an option on the right click menu of an item on the playlist with something like "(Replace | Append) playlist with all/more from this..." and then have a sub-menu with the ID tags of the file, like:

Item on the playlist = Propagandhi - Supporting Caste - Night Letters.mp3

Rick click the item:
|
\-> (Replace | Append) playlist with all/more from this...
|
\-> Artist "Propagandhi"
\-> Album "Supporting Caste"
\-> Composer "Propagandhi"
\-> Year "2009"
\-> Genre "Progressive Trash"
\-> Rating "*****"

In case of "Genre" and "Year", there could be a pop-up asking for "How many?" to limit the numbers of itens.

I suggest this because I use a lot the "Dynamic Playlists" and sometimes I just feel like listening more of that Artist or Genre and have to go all the way to the collection to do so.

Maybe this could be even just another script that extends Amarok, but I think it would be interesting having this native into the palyer.

Thanks,
Sérgio

These are separate ideas. Please post them separately. Also, your suggestion of doing something like eclipse is doing it is not really helpful since a lot of people do not use eclipse. Please explain how eclipse does it, or just explain how you want it done in leaving out eclipse entirely.
