Mouse Control on Time Slider
Last modified: 2009-01-19 23:40:52 UTC
Gnome 2.2.2 RH 9.0 Totem 0.99.8 It would be better if Totem supports Mouse point and click control on the Time / Stream position slider. Same functionality is available in Xine.
The Volume Slider uses the "value-changed" event to handle mouse clicks for changing values. I cannot use the same event for stream handling because the event keeps on getting called multiple times anytime a stream is playing. It seems that "button_press/released" are the best events to capture the stream position and allow us to move the stream to the desired position. Closing this one...!!!
Actually, writing a new slider widget is planned for a future release.
Mass reassign.
The sliders in the Metal theme look like they could match what we want: http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/jlf/index.html#other You'll notice that the gtk+ version of it is dreadful and doesn't look like this at all.

Hello folks, I was wondering if this issue (clicking directly somewhere in the middle of a slider widget) was a gtk bug? My understanding is that you planned to write some custom widget; why not fix GTK instead so that all other applications can benefit? (ex.: rhythmbox, pitivi, and even non-multimedia applications)

See bug 137812.

This is an old bug (2.2.2). What's the progress? Such a popular feature request / bug fix would seem to merit more attention.

Yes please. It makes no sense that clicking anywhere between the current position and the end of the slider would actually skip /backwards/ to a previous position. It should at least skip forwards, and preferably skip (or even better, begin fast forward) to the clicked position.

2008-10-24 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * src/totem.c (seek_slider_pressed_cb), (seek_slider_released_cb): Add hack from Rhythmbox to force the behaviour of the left-click button to skip directly to the position we clicked, as if we were using the middle-button click (Closes: #129671)
