Windows 7 UI, Hotkey capture, media library

Postby rubenvb » 07 Jun 2010 19:14

Three things, that perhaps aren't specific to 1.10-rc...

1. Windows 7 features the window preview for which VLC "copies" the previous-pause/play-next button functionality from WMP 12. These buttons' icons look ugly (white pixels around the play icon, what are the black bars under the previous/next buttons?). This is quite simple to correct, and not more than a visual gimmick.

2. Hotkey capture: there should be an option to have hotkey (play/pause/next/previous) presses to be redirected to VLC.

3. Media library: at least under Windows 7, I haven't discovered a way to a) navigate my filesystem or b) add files to the media library.

Keep up the great work!

That works to play back files, but I'm trying to get the "media libray populated, which does not work this way IMHO.
