Firstly, for those of you wondering where the amaroK website has gone, blame the people responsible for DNS transition.
I took it upon myself to be productive this week, and I wrote a small Queue Manager for amaroK. It has been one of the more requested features, and I was happy to implement it as a light weight tool. It is simply a lightweight dialog which allows the user to drag and drop tracks from the playlist, allows resorting, and thats about it. I didn’t want to include auto remove from the dialog (eg, when the track progresses and the manager is open) - since this would be fiddly, introduce quirks in usability etc. Damn, I hate Qt drag and drop. May it die a painful death.
On another note, reducing the size of the dynamic mode config is a challenging prospect. I managed to get rid of the ‘playlist selector’, and integrate this straight out in the playlist browser. It seems to work well, but I will have to work on usability substantially. Remember, usability is not the necessarily bad if it has a relatively high learning curve - but the converse can be true.
