GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 331392
A more convenient way to empty the queue-in-sidebar
Last modified: 2006-02-18 13:32:17 UTC
Currently the only way i see to empty the music queue is to choose the first song, hold shift and choose the last song, then click on Remove on popup menu. I would suggest add another item to music queue popup menu: Empty queue or at least make Ctrl+A choose all song in music queue (currently, Ctrl+A choose all song in playlist/library, not the music queue)
This is implemented in CVS, see bug #330014. Closing this as a dupe. Feel free to reopen if the fix now in CVS doesn't solve your problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 330014 ***
Just to clarify: the "Clear Queute" button is on the Toolbar.
This is kind of different to the other one; that dealt with queue-as-source, but this is more for queue-in-sidebar, which still has no easy way of clearing.
There's also a 'clear queue' item in the sidebar queue popup menu.
Hmm, sorry about premature dupe closing, I didn't realise it was about the sidebar version. I looked for the clear queue item in the sidebar queue popup menu, but didn't find it.
That's because I forgot to commit it until now.
Off-topic note. I didn't know I can turn queue-in-sidebar into a queue-as-source :( Perhaps we need a guide for Rhythmbox.
Small issue with the "Clear Queue" when in sidebar mode: it only works when the mouse is over a track. If you right click over the blank area in the Queue below the songs, there is no popup menu. I would expect that the Clear Queue popup be available anywhere within the sidebar.
Created attachment 59473 [details] [review] show popup menus when clicking on blank areas in entry views This gives sources the option of displaying a popup menu when the user right-clicks over a blank part of the entry view. The library, iradio, and podcast sources display the same popup as used in the source list. The playlist sources do nothing, except the play queue sidebar, which displays the same menu as for when right clicking over an entry. The effect of this is that you can right click anywhere in the queue sidebar to clear it, and as a bonus, you can import files and add radio stations by right clicking in the blank areas of the library and iradio sources.
Nice. Works for me.
Any chance this last patch can be committed? Then we could close this bug.
committed.
