ratings should allow for decimals

[Kane Leja]

rather than just integers. it's easy and more inclusive: i've found myself wanting it.

looking at the code, it seems like this would just be a quick fix to the SQL schema - just alter the library table to make ratings be a float? there could even be a >= 0 and <=5 check to keep ratings consistently 0 to 5

i would even be down to do it myself and submit it as a patch if there's consensus.

Sounds like a dupe of https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/973145. If so, we should continue the discussion there.

I`m fine with having more granularity if it is possible without side effects, there are different uses where the 1-5 rating might be not enough.

Hi

To change the starrating in the the sql database is not difficult but for this to work you would also need to change how they are rendered. This is done in src/library/starrating.cpp. I would also like to have a step size of 1/2 but not smaller.
10 different values should be enough.

Agree this is a dupe (even though it says half-stars, we can talk about the proposal for decimals there).
