mp3ql Manual » Windows

Introduction

There are five layouts, each providing different workspaces, and encompassing certain features of mp3ql:

Commander Layout Commander Layout - This layout can be used to move directories and files en masse between different locations.

Default Layout Default Layout - This layout is primarily used to create playlists and perform everyday file management.

mp3ql Layout mp3ql Layout - This layout primarily used to edit tags.

Document Layout Document Layout - This layout can be used to edit files, the advantage of having two doc views is the ability to view results almost instantaneously.

Library Layout Library Layout - This layout is primarily used for playing and managing your music.

All of the layouts can be customised and all changes are stored automatically. The layouts are most commonly utilised by switching between them depending on the tasks you would like to achieve, but if required all of the windows can be combined into a single layout.

Hiding/Unhiding Windows

Next to the layout toolbar on the menu bar is the Widget toolbar which is used to hide/unhide windows, the buttons shown are directly relative to the windows in your current layout, for example: In the Default Layout buttons are shown for the Tree, Playlist and Detail Views.

Adding/Removing Windows

Adding Windows - This can be done from either the menu bar or the context menu, in both cases under Window. For each window there are four locations; Above, Left, Right and Below. It must be noted that these positions are all relative to the current location and will be slightly different according to where you select them from, therefore it is highly recommended that you spend a little time in order to understand how the windows can be arranged.

Removing Windows - This is done via the context menu from a chosen window, Window » Close.

Undock Windows

Undock - By selecting Window » Undock you can separate a window from the main program area and position it as you please. This can be very useful for viewing multiple docs or if you have a dual monitor setup.
