Feature request: Improvements to usability

Sun Jul 18, 2010 8:29 pm

I would like to see the following things:

- Keyboard shortcuts changed to reflect what other programs use. Windows apps generally have a really bad case of having no uniformity whatsoever, so having keyboard shortcuts that match what other apps are using would be a good idea. For one Ctrl+S for Settings is terrible. Ctrl+S is generally the shortcut for Save. How about O instead, with the Settings menu renamed to "Options" which is more common in applications anyway. Integrating settings and playback options would be nice too so there is a single place for adjusting things and not several. Likewise X would be a better shortcut for Stop, as this is used by many audio/video players.
- Shortcut for toggling subtitles on/off or maybe cycling the available subs (for example None/English/French)
- Better icon for audio track. Now it's easily confused with Volume control.
- Lose the clock. It's already in the corner of the taskbar.
- More customizable settings. For example I'd like to see several different skip options (short, medium, long) with totally customizable times for each, ala MPC-HC.
- Audio output mode customizable per device. For example on my FireWire audio interface I use analog stereo outputs but on my Realtek onboard sound I use the digital output.
- Option to remember position in a video. For example you watch a movie halfway and have to do something else, when you start the video file again it starts from the position where you left it.

Thanks for all suggestions.

We agree that there is a mess on WIndows apps with shorcuts and we will try to adjust our shortcuts to be more logical, more useful etc.
We are not going to merge settings with playback options.
Resuming playabck will be added in the future versions.

We try to design the best possible usability but we are aware that there is still work to do and we cannot satisfy all users.
