Resizing the playlist area while in on-air mode

English Feature Requests
1

The title pretty much explains it. I have a split playlist set up, and want to be able to re-size the amount of screen realestate the bottum one takes up depending on how many songs it has in it. This could either be a manual or automatic thing, but I would like to be able to do it.

A shot of what I mean is attached.

Where it’s circled the cursor actually turns into a “mover” look, if you know what I mean. And I just want to be able to click and drag to re-size.

Thanks,
Lil’ Matt

As far as I know, and I’m sure Torben will confirm/deny this, it’s not possible to resize ANY controls in the mAirList window while it is running. It’s not possible to do this via script either, so neither manual nor ‘auto’ resizing are possible.

Thanks for the input. It’s not a major issue, just wondered about it

I might be mistaken (and I cannot verify it, because I’m at work and running Linux at the moment), but isn’t there a splitter between the two playlist panels already? Just like there is one between the browsers and the playlists. Move the mouse close to the edge of the panel, and the mouse pointer should turn into a double arrow (or so).

That’s how it’s supposed to be. If it’s not, it’s a bug.

It cannot be resized automatically or by a script though. Manual operation is required.

Note that this does not work with a custom layout (using the layout.ini file).

Ah. That explains why I’ve never seen those splitters!

I get the splitter mouse style, but cannot resize if I click and drag… bug?

If you are using a layout.ini then the playlist cannot be resized using click and drag.

…or to put it another way, Matt: if you have a layout.ini file in your config directory (regardless of its content), the splitter is disabled.

If you move your layout.ini file somewhere else and then start mAirList, the splitter will work; though obviously you will have the ‘default’ layout.

I don’t use a layout.ini file, but I still can’t get the playlists to re-size. I’m using 2.2.1, so I’m gonna upgrade soon and see if that works.

Yes, I’ve now tried this here and though the vertical splitter control to resize the Browser DOES work, the horizontal one to resize Playlists, though it appears, does NOT work.

Torben: could this be happening because one or more Playlists in mairlist.ini have ToolbarBottom=off set, or is it just a bug?

CAD, you’ve hit the nail on the head, that’s exactly what I was trying to say, but it just wouldn’t come out right ;D.

Matt: That’s what many MANY years of working in PC user support does for you! :smiley:

It’s definitely a bug. The splitter is there, the mouse cursor changes when you move the mouse over it, but it just won’t resize the playlists. I can’t see the reason right now, but I will continue to investigate it.

Thanks Torben & CAD!!
