Topic: Playlist auto clear [1st pref does not work]

I just noticed with the latest build that the playlist clear and auto play choices in preferences no longer work.

Re: Playlist auto clear [1st pref does not work]

Yeah, I can confirm this.


Everything worked fine in r890.

It doesn't work starting in r891.


Only the "When opening files" pref is affected. The "When opening files with Shift or Command Control held" works fine.

It's fine if you've set "When opening files" in r890 or older, then update to r891 and later, then don't change the pref. But once you change it, you can't change it back; it'll get stuck as "Enqueue files."


I notice that in org.cogx.cog.plist, since r891, there is a pref called "openingFilesBehavior"

Is this the culprit?

There seems to be a problem on nightly build system - when built on my machine - everything is ok.

I just tried the latest build but unfortunately it still does not respond to the Clear Playlist preference  command.

Hey Vasfed

I am out of internet at home, so I can try this. But if I update to your build, will Cog still upgrdae to the next official one? Or are yours like a 'branch'?

The 1st pref still doesn't work in r894.

If you haven't set the 1st pref yet, or if you've deleted the pref "openingFilesBehavior," then it'll be set to "Clear playlist and play."

But if you change it to anything, then it'll get stuck as "Enqueue."

Should be fixed as of r896.
