[Feature request] Make track label scroll if wider than max widget width

[bdaase]

FWIW, as a workaround, you can set the max width to 0 and shouldn't experience any cut off.

61f9d80 @ChrisLauinger77 , I've completed this after jumping through many hoops 😄. I feel like there is a better way to do this, but we can work on that in a later version. For now we just have to add an option to enable scrolling.

[ChrisLauinger77]

@sakithb cool
Want me to add the option or wanna do it yourself ?
I test it on gnome45 now ...

[sakithb]

If it's not too much trouble, sure

[ChrisLauinger77]

No I can do it very quick.
I do it in main and you can overtake it to dev-leg

[sakithb]

Sure

[ChrisLauinger77]

Have it working on gnome45. Now I add the setting...

[ChrisLauinger77]

@sakithb settings for scrolling is checked into main including german translations updated
this._extension.scrolltracklabel in main (settings in widget)
this._extension.settings.scrolltracklabel in legacy (settings in own file)

some changes by hand are nec I am afraid - cherry pick can only partly work

[sakithb]

It's alright, were you able to get the setting to work?

[ChrisLauinger77]

Yes in main it works
I uploaded also a new screenshot

Ah one more thing - the clip texts in track info menu is not in gnome44. I thought gnome44 only bugfixes so new features which I implemented are only in main.

[sakithb]

We'll do new features for gnome 44 for this release only. Can you give me a list of new features you added in main, so I can post them to gnome44.

[ChrisLauinger77]

The only new feature which is in main but not gnome44 is the clipping texts.
It was not really much a new settings a new function in utils which called 2 times out of player.

[ChrisLauinger77]

I forgot the Hotkey to open the media info panel. This I also added only in 45.
