GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 329949
Add popup menu to browsers
Last modified: 2018-05-24 11:18:55 UTC
Right clicking on songs allows you to add a song to the queue, however sometimes I wish to add a whole album, or even a whole rtist to the aueue. Right clicking on the album name or the artists name should let me add all the songs underneath the album or artist to the queue
As it is, you can drag artists and albums from the browser into the queue, but we don't have enough actions to justify having a popup menu yet. We'll probably end up adding one sooner or later, and when that happens, we'll include 'add to play queue'.

Some other ideas for the popup menu include: * Rename (bug 326583), would require tag-writing to work well * Burn CD (bug 322492) * Create Playlist
I suggest renaming the bug to "adding a useful popup menu" or something of the sorts, since adding albums and artists to the queue is possible.

Created attachment 67899 [details] [review] start of patch This shows it's fairly trivial to do this. We just need to decide what we want in the popup menu, and code the actions. Possibilities have been mentioned on the bug, as well as bug 326583 and bug 342589.
I think that the popup menu for albums should be the same as for songs, with the action being applied to all the songs in the album (or equally, all the songs of the artist). Like a shortcut for clicking on the album, selecting all songs and then right-clicking on a song. That would make sense to me - possibly, this could even be explicit in the UI, marking the songs as selected while the popup menu shows. Taken one by one: - "Add to Play Queue" makes much sense. Something I've been wanting - just found out that you can drag'n'drop to achieve this. That was not intuitive for me. - "Add to Playlist" could come in useful. - "Copy", "Remove", "Move to trash" - obviously useful. - "Browse this genre/artist/album" - these might be confusing though. - "Properties" - useful when you for example want to rename a whole album

And the same with artists.
