1.7.4
- Display: Appearance has a Status Bar row. Theme (the default) follows your theme; Minimal, Modern or Classic give the bar that theme's look under any theme, so Classic can have a plain black bar. It applies at once, with no restart.
- Cover Flow: a fast spin flows. The letters come at about one turn a second instead of two and keep a steady pace however hard you spin, while the covers keep moving through them, so slowing down or turning back carries straight on into single albums. Letting go lands on the letter's first album, and lifting your thumb to re-grip no longer drops the letters.
- Quick Settings: holding Play/Pause there briefly shows Wheel: Volume or Wheel: Brightness. The wheel keeps working while it shows.
- Now Playing: under Theme: Classic the hearts picker has a plain background in Light Mode instead of a gradient.
- Bluetooth: the buttons of a headset or earbuds whose name is longer than 55 characters now work. The Q2 read the name cut short and so never found their buttons.
- Library: in Scan Folders, tapping a folder that has no folders inside ticks it. It used to say Folder not found.
- Scrobbling: a line of the scrobble log with a damaged time no longer stops every upload until it is edited out. It is left out, as other unreadable lines are.
- Playlists: opening Library → Playlists, or a card app importing playlists, soon after a boot no longer restarts the Q2.
- Library: Albums, Artists, Composers and Genres open faster on a big library where some songs have no album, artist or genre. Each used to read every such song only to decide whether to show Unknown.
- Streaming: a card app's page, or Spotify's browser, no longer stays on Loading… when the reply comes back at once.
- Library: opening Songs, or coming back to it, no longer holds on to more memory each time, about 8 MB on a 65,000-song library, which could add up until the Q2 ran out. Albums, Artists, Folder and the other lists held on to a little each time too.
- Library: Update Local Music no longer sometimes skips the update without a word and keeps the old library. That could happen when it started while the songs were still being counted, more often the bigger the library.
- Settings: a Centre press on Night Shift's page followed at once by Back no longer switches Crossfade on or off instead.
- Library: on a large library, opening an album, Go to Album, Recently Added, deleting songs and Scan specified folders are much faster, and Era's Play All no longer risks restarting the Q2 on a decade of many albums. They speed up after the next Update Local Music or Scan specified folders.
- Cover Flow: when an album's artwork restarted the Q2 while Cover Flow was preparing artwork, the next Cover Flow open adds that album's file to
q2-crash.logon the card, under cover flow skipped. - Streaming: songs a card app streams show the lyrics the app leaves for them on the lyrics page, synced when timed.
- EQ: on the Advanced tab a long preset name no longer runs into Presets. It stays on the right, is cut short with an ellipsis, and scrolls while its row is selected.
- Streaming: in Internet Radio, a favourite whose address is a
file://path with an=in its name is listed. It was taken for a.plsentry and left out.
