Believe it or not, I wasn't really trying to make it exactly like iTunes' Mini Player (other than the Close/Min/Zoom buttons);
I was just trying to preserve the current layout (e.g., Volume slider under Prev/Play/Next, Repeat and Shuffle on the right).

I know no title bar is a HIG no-no; it was mainly to try to minimize the space the window would take, which is the whole point of a "Mini Mode".
(One thing though: since in Leopard, all windows will be "unified", the line between the title bar and the rest of the window will kind of be blurred, so... is the clearcut presence of a title bar still absolutely necessary?)

OK then, if you want to keep the title bar, is it at least possible to make it a smaller title bar, like palette-type windows' title bar?

1) Already available: Playlist > Clear ;p

2) It's in the Features for 0.07. (see thread)

3) Hmm... the File Drawer is not for file management though; it's mainly for quickly dragging files into the playlist without having to switch between a Finder window and Cog. For file management, why not use the Finder?

1) A list of the available languages/localizations seems to be missing. I suppose the most logical place would be the Features page.

2) I'd also suggest adding after the list of languages some text like "Want to translate Cog?" or something like that and a link to the translation thread. This might increase the chances of people offering to translate Cog.

3) In formats, "Apple Lossless" is missing in the little introduction on the main page. (though it's there in the Features page)

Hmm, how about the iTunes approach: putting an exclamation point symbol on the left of the song in the playlist when played.

After all, some people might not even notice that Cog had skipped over a song in the playlist.

With an indicator, people would be sure to know there is a "broken" playlist entry and would remove it.

It informs... but it does not intrude.


Additionally, this feature could not only be limited to when Cog plays the missing file.
Perhaps there could be a "Check for missing files" function, which would:
-scan over the playlist and mark all the missing files with a symbol
-then select all the missing files, which would be convenient if one wants to delete them right away
This could be especially useful when building a playlist that you want to save.

What about Localizations? (Or is the string "Hide" already in there somewhere? I don't remember.)

Well, in the future, when I'll be translating again, what files will I use?
You said you converted the files to UTF-16, right?
So does that mean the last files that I sent you are outdated now?

Darn it, completely forgot.

Um... it's just "Appuyer sur la touche..." (no accents).

Do you want to add that yourself or do you want me to edit it and send it to you? ;p

Quick question: Is the French localization done basically?

Or is there something left for me to edit? (Nothing new or recently added, right?)

Mine updated successfully once again. o_O
