After a very long way, it's finally there: gmpc 0.15.5: while(bug_count > 0) fixBug(); So whats new and improved? to much to mention. But I'll highlight some things.
Some of these features may only work in combination with mpd from svn.
Playlist queue's: You can now select songs to be played next. Screenshot
Playlist Editor: You can now create/delete a playlist. add, remove and move songs in a playlist. Screenshot
Chain search rules: When searching in the playlist or the database you can now chain your queries using and and or f.e: Artist "Norah Jones" and Album "Not Too Late" or Artist "Eric Clapton" and Album "Unplugged". Screenshot
New Tag browser: You can now create your own tag browsers in "itunes" style. With inline cover art. Screenshot
Similar artist support: The metadata can now show (if the last.fm plugin is installed) show similar artists, and allows you to browse them. Screenshot
Message bar: When an event occurs, f.e. a disconnect gmpc now shows an inline message. The type of messages to be showed can be configured.
Message window: Shows a backlog of old messages showed in gmpc. Screenshot
File browser: The file browser now has 2 panes, one folder tree, and a folder content list. Screenshot
Sorting: Song list, tag lists and more can everywhere be sorted by clicking on the headers.Screenshot
Keybindings: You can now easily with the keyboard enabled disable audio outputs, or switch from one browser to the other.
Metadata: It's now easier to (re)fetch metadata.
Drag and Drop: You can now drag and drop artist/albums from the metabrowser on the player-bar, adding to or replacing the current playlist.
GtkStatusIcon: Tray icon now works on linux, windows and mac osX.
Right mouse menu: This now works as expected, if you click on a selected row, it shows the menu, if you right click on a not-selected row, it will select the row first.
Proxy: The proxy can now be set from the preferences window.
Reordering of the left pane.
Huge amount of bugs fixed.
An even huger amount of improvements in the code, allot of code re-use and duplication has been removed.
In every piece of software there are bugs, gmpc included. These are luckily all low-impact bugs.
Output state does not update correctly when set from another mpd client. This is partially a limitation of mpd.
It's possible gmpc thinks it's connected to another profile then it actually is.
The file browser when reconnected does not always show the right pane filled, selecting it again corrects it.
Mouse over on the new tray-icon does not work, also scrolling does not. This is a limitation of gtk's GtkStatusIcon.
