[REQ] Floating lyrics Panel or Window

[monkeyfan1970]

Hello,

Is there a floating floating lyrics panel or window in MM5? If it is not available, could this feature be added?

Thank you.

I was thinking the same thing.

No, it shows New Playlist as a floating Playlist window.

Right click on any Playlist (not AutoPlaylist) in the Media Tree and select Edit from the Context Menu to open.

The OP is enquiring about lyrics.

[Lowlander]

Wow, misread that one. No, the Lyrics window, or any window for that matter, can't be detached from the Main window.

Whatever Lowlander is on today, I want some.


Just kidding.

There are many scenarios that could benefit from allowing tabs to be broken off and dragged to separate windows on different monitors.

When can we see a floating lyrics Panel or Window?

Added support to the Undock Playing addon for the Lyrics window (and renamed it to Undock Panels). Available here: https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... k-playing/

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the addon.

Hi Drakinite, This looks really interesting.

Any chance you could also add the ability to undock any playlist panel? My main problem with MM is that it is very difficult to curate lots of playlists.

Having the ability to have multiple playlists open in several windows (on potentially multiple monitors) so that you can drag and drop songs to move or copy them between playlists would be very helpful.

Often I want to listen to a song, and then from a bunch of potential playlists listen to other songs that I think would fit nicely after it. Once I found that song, I want to move or copy it from that source playlist to the right location in the destination playlist.

Hello,

Thanks for the add on!. It does solves the issue partially. But it also introduces couple of other issues for me.

1. The undocked Lyrics window does not remember the position. Each time, I restart MM5, I have to undock Lyrics window and move to my desired position.

2. Can there be a keyboard shortcut to invoke to show/hide the undocked Lyrics window?

3. Can there be a way to alter and increase the font size of the Lyrics in the Lyrics window?

Thank you!

1. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about that. Dialog windows can't save their previous location, because if the monitor arrangement changes, it would be possible for dialogs to exist in a location that is not accessible.

2. Sure. Added in v1.1.1, it's available on the site.

3. Yeah, I agree that the font size can be a bit too small when it's undocked. But since the font size is pretty unrelated to the docking mechanism, I figured it makes more sense to have it as a separate addon. https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... font-size/
