"Library" button must be toggled in LateNight for big library display to work

[Be]

If the "Library" button is off in LateNight and maximize_library is triggered (via the GUI button, the space bar, or a controller button), a blank interface is shown in the main window rather than the library. When maximize_library is triggered, the big library display should appear regardless of whether the little library display is shown along with the decks. This is particularly important for 4-deck mode because there isn't room for 4 decks, the mixer, samplers/effects/mic, plus the small library on most screens.

trunk build or beta? if beta, which build number is in the title bar?

[-MK- (mk42)]

can confirm this for 1.12 branch r5446

[Be (be.ing)]

1.12 beta

[Be (be.ing)]

title bar says 1.12-beta1, freshly compiled from from git

working with r5409 (small library hidden and hitting "big library" button show library full screen)

[Owen Williams (ywwg)]

With latest 1.12 beta, gui button, menu option, and spacebar all do the right thing for me. Make sure your resourcePath is set correctly. I have not tested with a controller.

[Be (be.ing)]

Yes, my resourcePath is set correctly. I just uninstalled and reinstalled my local build and it made no difference.

[Owen Williams (ywwg)]

can you post your mixxx.cfg?

[Sébastien BLAISOT (sblaisot)]

Oh oh, I am able to reproduce it with r5409 with a fresh install.
restoring mi mixxx home dir also show the problem. Either I was not well awake on #5 or probably is it related to some strange behaviour.

fresh install for each (uninstalled former version, removed completely the mixx programm directory, removed the mixxx preference directory)
each test with Mixxx 64 bits under windows seven 64 bits ultimate SP1

r5409 : Not ok, big library show emty screen if small library is hidden
r5417 : Not ok, big library show emty screen if small library is hidden
r5418: Not ok, big library show emty screen if small library is hidden

r5446 (last available) : same problem.

starting from a fresh (empty) mixxx preferences folder, here are the steps to reproduce with r5446 :

1. Launch Mixxx, choose music library folder, wait for library scan
2. Hit "library button" on bottom left of the screen to hide small library
3. Hit "Big library" button on bottom right of screen to switch to big library

Result : a big black empty screen
Expected result : library showing full screen

fixed here: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/commit/25b0e96b667b07ea9022116506d337bec08e7129

I don't believe I broke anything in the process but please let me know

[Be (be.ing)]

That fixed it. Thanks.

Now it would be useful to be able to show effects, samplers, and/or mics at the same time just hit a button for maximize_library when looking for tracks.

[Owen Williams (ywwg)]

That's not this bug, that's a new feature request :-D. Please do file a new wishlist bug, there are some design issues we have to consider.
