nighthawk's Issues

There were a lot of compilation errors

AutoPlay on open?

I want to open a playlist seamlessly on boot, using a bat file on startup. But the music has to manually be set to play!
is there some commandline commands to use to tell it from the bat file to reproduce the tracks as soon as it opens?

Some music not appearing

Hi!

I've put my copy of Dvořák's Slavonic Dances into my music folder, refreshed my library and Nighthawk doesn't list it. (In every other respect, I love Nighthawk).

I suspected it was special character related, but changing the filenames had no effect. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Feature Request: Sort tracks on Date Modified

We can sort the tracks according to the title, artist name, album name and duration. Can you add a column for Date Modified too so that recently added tracks appear at the top?

Could you add the e2e test?

Sliders are not draggable.

When I want to change volume or rewind/fast forward I can't drag it, I need to press which is uncomfortable.

Playlist list not scrollable [bug]

Environment

Hello, I've discovered an issue on:

• Ubuntu Linux
• nighthawk-linux-v2.1.1-x86_64.AppImage
• "obstrusive" mode

Description

I expect the playlist list on the left side to be scrollable. But it is not scrollable. The library list is scrollable, so basically scrolling works

screencapture

The cursor is invisible, but hover-effects and text-selection should give a good hint on what I did there

2019-06-29 15-37 no scroll.zip
