[QUOTE="mdhare, post: 8342"] Sam- You are right, I did not do through enough testing to see that the added item was out of the view of the playlist, but came into view if you skipped down, thanks! I have two thoughts about the user interface for moving songs. I have not used MP for TV functionality so I don't know if this breaks design paradigms, but.. 1) When you hit 'enter' on the playlist mode for music, it takes your currently selected song and moves it up to be the next song in queue. What if, instead, the first click of enter allowed you to move the file around in the queue order? Ie, song #1 currently playing. I hit enter on song #10. I then move the song up to spot #4 (repeated up arrows) and hit enter again. So the new playing order would be song #2, #3, #10, #5, #6.. etc Downside is that this breaks the enter key automatically promoting files to the top of the queue; is this used a lot by the userbase? 2) Another possibility; Could the 'play' key be reprogrammed to do essentially what the enter key does now? It seems that during playback, the play key and the pause key do essentially the same thing. Use the pause key to pause/unpause payback, while the play key could start the immediate playback of the selected item. Thoughts? I haven't looked at the code, but I'm a somewhat capable perl hacker. If we come to a workable solution but there isn't staff time to tackle the problem, I might give it a go. -Michael [/QUOTE]
