Bonjour !
Museeks 0.8 is finally out, I thought it would never be released. Sorry for this long development time, but a lot of stuff happened to me for the past few months, combined with my legendary laziness... well, let's move on.
Museeks reached 20'000 downloads a few days ago, that is just crazy. I received supporting mails, bug reports and features ideas from all over the world, thanks to all of you for your support, this really matters to me.
Enough talk, here's what's new:
Tray
Tray is here, you can now close Museeks and still have it playing your music. You can also control the player from the tray icon.
New library management
We dropped this folder-based + refresh system for a simple dropzone where you can drag&drop your folders and files directly in the library settings page.
The UI is not frozen anymore when refreshing the library: you can now listen to your music and still add files to it.
Scan performances were also nicely improved and we fixed some memory leaks.
New dark theme
The dark theme was poor I got to say. Too light, pretty ugly... We updated it with darker black/blue-ish colors.
New playing indicator
We updated the playing indicator, it now has a fancy animation, and you can play/pause the player by clicking on it.
FLAC support
FLAC is finally here.
Minimize/Maximize controls
We finally added custom controls for minimize and maximize.
Native notifications
If Museeks is hidden and a new track is being played, a small notification will be displayed to show you the track informations. You can disable it in the options.
Other improvements
- Better OPUS format handling
- Play button automatically plays the first song when the player is stopped
- Added an option to open a track's corresponding folder in your file manager
- Sexier settings
- Pause the player when entering in sleep mode
- Improved search speed (should be instant now)
- Larger and sexier tracks rows
- Remove add 'to queue' from context menu if playerStatus is pause
- Ctrl-F select the search input
Other bugfixes
As usual, tons of bugfixes and improvements:
- Fix playlist rename
- Fix mediakeys
- Fix forgotten options on startup
- Lots of minor UI fixes
Hope you'll enjoy, special thanks to: @cfollet, vprigent, @YurySolovyov, @dkniffin: thank you!
