Bug ID: 422442 Summary: Suggestions for the user interface Product: elisa Version: 20.04.1 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: matthieu_gall...@yahoo.fr Reporter: paclarushtao...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- As stated in https://community.kde.org/Elisa#Open_Design_Questions, you are still finding the shape of Elisa, and I think that an enthusiast on music player interfaces (me), can give you some ideas that can hopefully become a reality. First of all I will thank you for your work. I love people getting beautiful yet functional interfaces as a goal. I really hate that a lot of projects make ugly interfaces with lists and lists of albums, songs, artists... ugh. This is a music player, not LibreOffice Calc! I will prefer to see my album covers in a big grid, please- first of all, the sidebar: it takes space from the screen, so a button to hide it (or at least contract it to just an icon-only sidebar) is desirable. Here is a mockup: https://i.imgur.com/pDMQIJM.png Also, it will be nice to have the option of edit the entries on the sidebar. Some of us don't care about online radios, but we care about years, for example ;). From an option in the settings dialog to a simple right click with a menu to check/uncheck them can work. The search function is neat, but it can be expanded further: what about adding to the sidebar (or another place) a super search feature, able to search in album, artist, title, album artist, year, etc. Maybe (stress in the maybe) it can replace the current search inside every section on the sidebar because it can search in any field available (maybe even lyrics!) Final one: artist images. I guess this one is in the TODO for sure, but going through the artist section and seeing only half circles with smaller circles on top is really boring. And don't worry about making an API to fetch data from last.fm or discogs, us music nerds are happy with a simple dialog to load the image from the fiesystem. P.S: maaaaybe the option of replacin the blurred cover with the aforementioned artist image? IDK. Hailings, and good luck.
