[3.2.0-beta1] interface bugs/suggestions
I tested the last [3.2.0-beta1] and spotted some interface bugs and have some suggestions.
- local network:
- The add network card isn't scrollable, you can't see the bottom in landscape mode. It can be also a little bit wider to fit with the titles in the fields especially in some translations, less space to the edges in portrait mode.
- cancel button is not inline
- the SMB authentication card is scrollable but misses the title and the description in
strings.xml
that is needed for the translation, so these parts aren't translated yet - this happened less often but if you cancel the login authentication and going back all existing networks are put again to the list, sometimes multiple times but it should reload the list once
-
switches/checkboxes in settings menu
Is there a reason to use mostly checkboxes and sometimes switches in the options menu?
If not, the switches would be a good solution to wrap longer titles in the menu and should replace all current checkboxes. So, no title in other translations would be shorten anymore.
-
settings -> interface -> audio
- the word "card" is misunderstand here and is translated as "tabs" in most of the translations. If this is referring to the notice on the bottom, on android it called "Bottom Sheet (Dialog)" it should be renamed so, and would be more clear than just the word card. Using the wording "last playlist card" can be interpreted as loading the whole last played playlist here not the last song (or should this be referred to only the playlists?).
- the subtitle under "Show audio cards" is taken from a wrong string
- last played song
- the title should have more space, so it would be wider and fully displayed on longer titles
- the whole card should be displayed some seconds longer (maybe in settings), on dark mode it's harder to notice it immediately and mostly too late to press it
- cancel button is not needed when the notice disappears anyway
- search title bar
- "Search media in current list" should be shorten to only "Search media (here)" in all searches (History, Audio, Video...) to fit in the bar and the option below makes clear that you search on the current list and not globally
- all icons to the right should disappear when the search is opened BUT should come back when the search is closed that are mostly the favorite star in local directories, the trash bin in history, the sorting in playlists and the reloading in audio/video - currently the last three ones don't come back when the search is closed
- the sort button for the playlists could be also implement it in the same way as in the audio and video section and put this function into the 3-dot-menu on the right, because for now it has only one sorting method
- the titles in the Local directories part should have a marquee effect when they are longer and don't fit
- playlists
- maybe this will be still done and this space is reserved for the cover but if no cover is set for the given playlist this gab should not be possible with sliding down
- on the information card none of the local files shows the duration time in the given field
- on streams with a URL the information card should show also the full URL path in an extra field
- equalizer
- all issues/suggestions were already posted here: #188
