PLEASE bring back "click-on-title-to-play" functionality

New postby danep on Mon Aug 09, 2010 5:12 pm

I just downloaded 2.9.9 and got thrown for a loop by a big usability issue- it used to be that when you were viewing an episode of a podcast, you could click directly on the episode title/progress bar to play or pause it. Now, whether in normal or "car" mode, you have to use the playback controls below the episode - which means you can't simply scroll all the way to the top and click (without looking) to start or resume playback. Not only does this seem contrary to the purpose of "car mode", but it's a huge usability issue for people used to old versions - I can't tell you how many times I've restarted an episode by accident.

Thx for bringing back cliclk title to play. Over the past few days I dunno how many times I restarted a podcast from the beginning accidentally. Now though it seems the podcast decription is missing from underneath the Controls but I'm sure its just a bug.

Hmm, do they never show up at all? (Sometimes it take a couple seconds for the BB to slog through resizing the image)

The thumbnails and descriptive text do not show up on their own at all now (2.9.10), neither when browsing the podcasts, nor when loading an already downloaded podcast for playback (I've left it sitting for several minutes waiting, but it doesn't show up. They *do* show once you start playback of a downloaded podcast.

So something in the code seems to have gone amiss with where the trigger is to show the info - it's now "on play" instead of "on load" or "on display" or whatever the proper terminology is.

Yes, 8330 running OS5. 2.9.9 was fine, only started since 2.9.10.

THanks, this is fixed in the next release. (Forgot whether it's .11 or .12, but one of them :) )
