- The majority of user interaction is now in the system tray icon.
There's no longer a traditional user interface window.
- Added a proper application version number, GPL and source code
comments.
- The application will now allow only one instance and will play the
file requested in the arguments in the currently running instance.
- Added mute control.
- Settings are now saved in csv file format instead of idm.
- Several bug fixes.
- Seeker removed for now. (might but it back in the future)
context menu, it will also show the app when double clicked.
AudFile::getDuration() and AudFile::duration() can now calculate the
length of the audio based on the rate at which QMediaPlayer calls
AudFile::seek() and the amount of data it pulls at a time. it converts
that time internally to a string, where it is then used to display on
Ui::timeDisp. i've also modified the minimize to tray function as a
feasure that can be turned on/off within Conf and added the needed check
box to the config menu.
stop, next file, previous file buttons along with the added feasures the
buttons represent. i've also added png versions of all of the icons just
in case the svg versions are not practical to use. i also fully built
out a tray icon functionality so the application can now minimize to
system tray. also updated the app logo to a new flat icon type sinewave
look. then finally, i've added the restore button to the tray icon so it
will restore the window back in front from the tray.
and added some options to the menu that changes the behaviour of the
app. such as turning on/off the auto playing of files and the directory
and volume control. this is all kept persistent using an IDM formated
file in the app's config directory. still having issues with it not
calculating the durations properly but i now know why. it's because
QMediaPlayer can't calculate the durations of VBR files (variable bit-
rate) properly. other than that, everything seems to be working
perfectly. i'll add more feasures such as a next/previous file button
and a stop button.
working, also added svg icons to the user interface. the settings button
currently does nothing (still work in progress). during testing, i
discovered QMediaPlayer would have trouble playing some music files that
have an ID3 tag so AudFile was created as a way to read the size of the
ID3 tag and step over it when QMediaPlayer reads from the file. although
it fixed the playback issue, QMediaPlayer is now having trouble
calculating the duration properly without the tag. i already have a
solution to the porblem in mind, more to come in the next commit.
