Bug Description

Version tested: Mixxx 1.12.0-alpha x64 (build master r5309)
OS: Ubuntu 15.04 Beta 2 64bit

When loading a track on the deck that's already playing it switches the mode from absolute to relative. Is it possible to make the deck stay on absolute mode when loading a new track on the deck that's already playing? It stays on absolute when the deck is not playing.

This is happening because when the new track is loaded, the playhead seeks to the beginning or the cue point, and the vinyl control control hears this seek and (correctly) disables absolute mode. The seek is coming from cuecontrol.cpp, so I guess we have to make cuecontrol aware of vinylcontrol, and if absolute mode is on, don't seek.

I really got used to in xwax and traktor scratch of being able to cycle through tracks while the needle is playing somewhere in the middle of the timecode vinyl. It makes prelistening tracks really fast. Currently when it disables absolute mode you need to pick up the needle so the deck stops and than change to absolute mode so you can seek through the track again. It's a bit clunky. :)

This should work. If your needle is dropped past the end of the track you're loading, obviously you won't hear anything.

Make sure you select "Allow load tracks into playing decks" and de-select "seek to cue on track load".
