Minimizing player with tray icon

[pickle]

Not a bug really, but something to put on the list I guess. When double-clicking the try icon to minimize the player, the single-click is recognized first which pauses play. The second click resumes play, but not before the playback is interrupted a bit.

Hi pickle,

Yes, this is unfortunately due to the fact that trying to get multiple functions on the one thing can cause issues.

If I make it so that I wait for a double click then when you go to single click it for a pause, it will not respond to the click until the double click time has expired. So there is a lag between when you click and when the music pauses.

Doing it that way would eliminate the problem you described, however of course there would be a delay when pausing.

I decided to go with no lag when pausing as to me it was more of a priority to pause a song instantly than to show/hide the interface.

Can you think of any other ideas of how to overcome the pause as well as the stop of music when you double click?

Nope.

What if you waited less time for the double-click? The single-click recognition could still be almost instantaneous, but the double-click could also work for quick-clickers like me

Well the problem comes because I have to obey the double click speed of a user, as can be found under the mouse properties in the Control Panel.

The value in there determines how long I have to wait. So if they are slow double clickers, they will notice a large delay until the single click is detected.

To detect a single click as opposed to a double click, I have to register the first click, then wait for the double click time to see if there is a second click.

You can see this in effect on other Tray applications where you single click and a menu shows, and double click and the window shows. The single click always has a delay before the menu comes up.

Until I can come up with a better solution, I might leave it how it is, or provide it as an option. Not sure yet.

Good points - fair enough.

How about this for a solution:

I can differentiate between clicks with ctrl or shift or alt held down.

Perhaps I can make the following:

single click = play
shift + single click = show/hide interface
ctrl + double click = next

Btw, If you hold down ctrl and double click at the moment, it will actually move to the next song

Thoughts everyone?

That'd be good. How about Ctrl + Double-click goes back, and Ctrl + Double righ click goes next?

but why don't let the user choice by config? so who wants to stop just using alt+something binded can do it, and with a click show or hide the interface...

that's could be a simple solution
