Interface improvement

Hi Paul,

I wanted to rename some of my profiles, so I use the appropriate option and…

I would find useful to have the former profile name written so that:

1. It’s easier to check I selected the right profile (it is also written in windows title: keep it!)
2. It’s faster to rename if I just want to change slightly the profile name (e.g. for correcting a misspelling or just adding a word)
   Have it entirely selected would also make it very simple to fully change, or not. Like this:
   

Speaking of windows, I saw in the release notes that you made some changes related to window position.
Could you make sure that every new window opened by SongKong displays on one single screen, excluding taskbar? To avoid this:

Thanks!

I’d be happy to be able to sort my profiles, so that my preferred ones are selected faster. I tried to add “1- …” hoping for alphabetical sorting, but it didn’t work.
(this is a very low priority request !!)

Hmm, tricky not quite sure how to resolve the conflicting requirements of windows management at the moment, but to some extent it should be handled by windows itself.

Thanks for the feedback!

Regarding the last point, I found this after a quick research. However, I don’t know the graphic library you’re using, so it might be irrelevant.

How to ensure application window is visible at launch?

[paultaylor]

Thanks I will look into it, although I never seem to have this issue myself.

[jeromeip]

I keep on having the issue.
Setting: dual screens, SongKong main windows moved to secondary screen, taskbar activated on all screens (see French option screen below)

[paultaylor]

Does the issue only occur when using multiple monitors?

[jeromeip]

Yes,
Specifically, it happened having main SK windows on secondary screen.

[paultaylor]

Okay it sounds like it might be a bug/limitation of the underlying Java system as I should not have to specifically consider if user is using multiple monitors but I will look into it.

Hi Paul,
I experienced yesterday another issue.
I relaunched SongKong on a single monitor configuration (laptop alone) when it was previously launched on the 2nd screen.
So it reopened SongKong in a non-visible area and I add to do the old trick « Alt + Space » / move then mouse then keyboard to make it visible again.
I’m not in a comfortable place to reproduce right now, but if you can’t on your side, I’ll try to catch the reproduction steps.

Slight problem with this.

They are currenlty sorted by filename, and they are sorted by filename so that the Default profile always shown as first on list whatever language is being used.

Forget my request!
Just having set leading numbers helps my brain and I just have a few profiles so this is no big deal.
