Stop after current

[gbl08ma]

I don't see a need for this setting.

Nor do I, my proposal was only to have a way to get the old (actual) behavior if this feature idea ever gets implemented.

Translating "Stop after current" to rockbox, it's almost a playback mode, which means: single track play without repeat, keep the playlist.

I agree with jaylee here: “Pause after current” could be configurable as another repeat mode (alongside “Repeat 1”, “Repeat A–B”, “Repeat All”, “Shuffle”, “Off”). 

The current implementation of FS#9114 instead introduces a separate option for this function.  To me the major disadvantage of having two separate options is that two quickscreen buttons would have to be wasted on two interdependent options.

I'm not the biggest fan of adding still more playback modes.

i agree. This doesnt make sense (to me) as a playback mode. The sensible way to do this is with a context menu option from the WPS which causes it to pause after the current track.
If people want to pause between every track (which I honestly dont see happening very often) they could assign that as the hotkey and do it each track change (they have to press buttons to resume at each track anyway so it isnt a big deal). Needing to change repeat mode to this to do it once is a really bad UI choice.

I could live with that as well.

I agree, but AFAICT, the list of functions that can be put on the hotkey seems rather restricted right now.  It would help if the WPS hotkey could be assigned any context-menu function; but that would probably be wishlist item by itself.

I was under the impression any wps context menu item could be added as a hotkey?

[sideral]

Sadly, that's not the case (yet?).

LAME! ok, go fix it!

Every hotkey action needs to be added manually (before compile time) at present.
IIRC Blue Dude *did* want to be able to add items to the hotkey in exactly the same fashion as quickscreen...but if you'll remember the development of hotkey turned out to be a lot more than Blue Dude intended it to be in the end and I think he was happy just to get it in a committable state.

For now, there's a pre-defined list of hotkey options.
Last added to that was me convincing him to add "Insert Shuffled" to it.

But yeah, ...I'd welcome being able to define hotkey options for the Filebrowser/WPS(/Database too?) from the context menu...that would be awesome.
