DA Media Browser 0.20.0

DA Media Browser 0.20.0 (beta)

A release of small things that got in the way. The app's icon shows in
Cinnamon's menu, the window can be made narrower and remembers how you
left it, lists stay where you were in them, and search ignores accents.

The icon

• The icon was missing from Cinnamon's menu (Linux Mint), and couldn't
  be picked by hand there either, although AppImage managers such as Gear
  Lever showed it. The desktop recognised it as an image only by its file
  name; read by its contents, as Cinnamon's menu does, a comment at the
  top of the file made it look like any other XML. The comment has moved
  and the picture is unchanged. If you integrated an earlier version,
  remove it and integrate this one again: the menu keeps the icon copied
  when the app was installed.

The window

• It can be made narrower. Manual Edit's chapter buttons sat in one
  row, and that held the whole window at about 1470 pixels wide, whatever
  page was showing - wider than a 1366-pixel laptop screen. They take two
  rows now, and the window goes down to about 1250.
• A long chapter title playing no longer widens the window until
  something else plays.
• Its size, which panels are open and the shelf's sort order are kept
  for next time, as the Tiles or List choice already was.

Staying where you were

• Renaming, merging or nudging a chapter scrolled the chapter list, and a
  selection of several chapters shrank to one. Both stay as they were.
• Edit Tracklist went back to the top of the list after every title you
  edited.
• The queue jumped back to what's playing after any change, so removing
  entries further down lost your place.
• The shelf forgot which video was selected whenever it was refreshed.

Names

• Saving Edit Tracklist marked every name as given by hand, so names
  from MusicBrainz, the file or the AI lost where they came from (the
  coloured dot beside each). Pressing OK in Rename without changing the
  name did the same. Only the names you change are marked as yours now,
  as Manual Edit already did. Use Mark Name as Checked to confirm a name
  as it is.
• A folder or playlist with & in its name lost it in menus: "Salt &
  Iron" showed as "Salt Iron".

Search

• Accents are ignored: cafe lumiere finds Café Lumière, and
  full-width letters match ordinary ones. Japanese dakuten still count,
  so か and が stay different letters.
• Ctrl+F selects what's already in the search box, so typing replaces
  it, and Esc clears it.

Fixes

• The Repeat button never lit up for Repeat All or Repeat One, as
  Shuffle does.

Before you start

• Beta, no warranty. See the README and LICENSE (GPL-3.0-or-later).
• AI features cost money. They're off until you allow them in
  Settings → Privacy and add an API key, and each one shows roughly what
  it costs, but a large library adds up. Use a key with a daily spending
  limit.
• Needs from your system: ffmpeg, mpv and (for Blu-ray folders)
  libbluray, plus a keyring if you use the AI or setlist.fm. Video in the
  app needs X11 or XWayland (the app arranges XWayland itself on a Wayland
  desktop).
