GMPC Sidebar work
I have been (Slowly) fiddling with the sidebar.
This means the following changes:
- No more breadcrumb bar, or dropdown menu.
IMHO most screens are wide-screen, this wastes space. - Small mode now shows a button list on the left. The status-icons are also visible here.
- No more re-order. or resizing of pane.
In the future:
- Items in the sidebar will be grouped.
- Now Playing
- Play Queue**
- Database
- File browser
- Artist browser
- Album browser
- metadata browser
- search
- Plugins
- ….
- The exact grouping to be used here is something that needs to be though out. Ideas are welcome.!!!!!
- Sidebar plugins (LibertyZero). Allow you to add things to the sidebar. Like play stats. (Code mostly there)
- Better key-bindings. (this is crazy atm, and hard to fix with the reordering).
- Tooltips on the icons in sidebar.
Some screemshots (please keep in mind these are WIP):
