TextFields in most dialogs should be focused

[Daniel Waller]

Hi all!

As you can see in Victor Thompsons video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQJ8iENpuiU) at minute 1:11, when he wants to create a new playlist the dialog opens and he has to do an extra click into the TextField to make the prompt appear.
Wouldn't it be more optimal to give the TextField focus as soon as the Dialog component is finished loading?

This could be accomplished by adding the line 'Component.onCompleted: playlistName.forceActiveFocus()' to the newPlaylistDialog in music-app.qml line 1032.
Do you agree that this behavior would be preferable?

If yes I would analyze the app for other instances where this would make sense and propose changes accordingly.

Regards,
Daniel

I agree that the playlist name entry should autofocus. This would match the autofocus done when hitting the search icon in both the app and in the scopes.
