Hi Steven,
>Are you saying the feature is badly written and the source code isn't
documented? You lost me.
No, No, Sorry for being not clear enough. Let me try again:
There are no comments at the merge request at launchpad. This fact looks
like no one is interested in the branch, but this is not the case.
>It took a lot of code-reading to figure out that it wasn't hard to add.
:-)
Yes, me too, every time I look at it. Probably a candidate for
refactoring. But at least it works :-)
WCrateTableView vs TrackTable
I am unsure.
For me the most natural thing would be a Track Table View.
Than you can tweak the crate where you expect it. But displaying the
same crate in Mixxx twice maybe confuses the user. He might think he is
tweaking a copy of the original crate. (Or is this a feature?)
WCrateTableView with statistics might be slightly better but more effort.
You should also know that the GUI part might be subject for change,
because we have proposed a library layout redesign.
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/mixxx/+spec/three-column-library-layout
You will find proposals here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/986704
I hope we will do some steps of it for 1.12.0
So you may invest less effort in polishing the current GUI but make it
reusable in your favorite proposal from above.
Please feel free to edit them if your have any ideas.
Kind regards,
Daniel
