Add checkbox to stop player after queue is empty #2340
Conversation
This is done automatically after each playing song anyway, and fixes a problem where the switch would be turned off if the queue was cleared and "Start After Empty" not enabled.

I think Stop Once Empty reads a bit better than Stop After Empty

I agree. I based it on "Stop After This Song" under Controls, but the wording makes more sense in that case.

Looks reasonable in general, and works for me - thanks. Part of me still thinks this can / should be solved as a play order plugin / configuration for the queue itself, but that's a much bigger piece so maybe best to get this in for now. |

I thought about making it a play order plugin, but that doesn't make much sense the way I see it, as it doesn't really have that much to do with the play order. I think having a separate configuration window for the queue would be nice, especially if we later want to add even more queue options not relating to the play order. Perhaps we could add a new "Queue" tab in the File->Preferences window? |

Yep I think all it's a bit complicated conceptually and UI-wise both now and maybe forever. Essentially I wanted to provide a way to abstract the That way, this and the Queue only plugin could live somewhere a bit more meaningful. Though of course that then makes it more complicated, if slightly neater / more powerful. ...but again this is a whole separate piece really. @frestr if you can make that text change, then assuming @lazka doesn't have anything I think it's good to go. |

Fixes #43
Although the "Queue Only" plugin has this as a side effect, the effect of always adding songs to the queue may not be desired. This addition instead adds a checkbox - "Stop After Empty" - next to the "Random" checkbox that has no other side effects than stopping the player after the queue is empty, instead of continuing to play a song from the song pane.
