Description Davyd McColl 2020-06-05 19:07:16 UTC
I had a package.mask to prevent an upgrade to 4, but apparently that didn't work because 3.x was marked unstable, so I got 4.

The net result was that keybindings (via xbindkeys) for "show jump dialog" stopped working. This is why I had the mask in the first place -- I was hoping someone would pick up that `-j` or `--show-jump-box` don't work, but apparently v4 has become "stable" whilst still broken :/

Steps to repro:
1. install audacious & audacious-plugins v4+
2. try `audacious -j` from cli -- nothing happens
3. downgrade to audacious 3.x
4. try `audacious -j` from cli -- get a jump box

This may just be an upstream problem, in which case, if notified, I can raise it there, if I can figure out where "there" is (:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install audacious & audacious-plugins v4+
2. try `audacious -j` from cli -- nothing happens
3. downgrade to audacious 3.x
4. try `audacious -j` from cli -- get a jump box
Actual Results:  
no jump box shown

Expected Results:  
jump box should show

apart from the minimal ui afforded by the "winamp" interface, a major reason for running audacious is that it can be scripted, therefore hot-keyed. If that's taken away, it's not so useful any more. Again, this may be an upstream issue -- if so, please point my frustration in the right direction!

It was not. Check your mask file.

Global Hotkey support is not in 4.0, but will be in 4.1. You can try with 9999.

"Some things that we wanted to get finished didn't make it into this release. In particular, the Qt port of the Winamp-like UI is still missing some key features such the Jump to Song window. Users of the Winamp-like UI may want to continue using GTK2 for now."

And with that, I am going to close this.
