"Next" button in track properties should work from old position

[Warbo]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

The properties dialogue of a track (right click on a track in the library and select properties) has "Next" and "Back" buttons to change the information in the properties window. However, if a user is adding tags to an album she has just ripped as "Unknown Artist - Unknown Album" it would be more useful for the Next and Back buttons to work from the position in the library where the track was selected.

For example, with the current behaviour selecting "Unknown Artist - Unknown Album - Track 1", changing the tags to "ArtistName - AlbumName - TrackName" then clicking Next would change to the track underneath ArtistName - AlbumName - TrackName, whereas the most useful behaviour would be to move to the position after that selected, eg. Unknown Artist - Unknown Album - Track 2.

I know Amarok works in this way by using the KDE way of only applying changes when "Save" is pressed, so the tracks are not moved around in the library until then.

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Do you use the random order option in rhythmbox?

I reported this in using Edgy, but have now upgraded to Feisty and the behaviour is the same. I do have Shuffle on, but this shouldn't affect the behaviour. I just noticed that the buttons in the properties dialogue are labelled "Back" and "Forward" too, sorry for any confusion if you interpreted 'Back' and 'Next' as the main track playing buttons either side of Play. This is a wishlist bug if anything, but would be nice to fix for people who use Rhythmbox's ID3 tagging capabilities.

Rhythmbox on feisty does go to the next song in the list on my desktop, marking the bug unconfirmed

Do you still get the bug?

[Warbo (warbo)]

I'm running Gutsy now and it is still there. This is more of a wishlist than anything (it would make tagging tracks easier)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

did you try if you still have the issue? the next button works correctly on a gutsy installation

We are closing the bug for now, feel free to reopen it if you can test it with Gutsy Gibbon you can grab a CD Image from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ ; thanks and we appreciate your help.
