Port the Tauri tray to Slint on Linux via ksni: themed icon (auto/mono/
color), left-click window toggle, middle-click play/pause, scroll volume,
the 5-item menu, and a live tooltip reflecting the now-playing track. Tray
actions call the playback controller directly (QConnect-aware) instead of
emitting webview events. Settings reuse the shared qbz-app tray store
(per-user) wired through AppearanceState.
Window hide/show uses Slint window.hide()/show() (winit set_visible is a
no-op on Wayland) and the loop runs via run_event_loop_until_quit so a
tray-hide keeps the app alive. close-to-tray is honored on both the custom
titlebar close and the WM close (on_close_requested). minimize-to-tray is
hidden until custom window chrome exists.
cc
Relocate the QConnect diagnostics launcher out of the now-playing bar flyout
into a new opt-in Settings > Developer section (the modal + DEV log/status code
is unchanged). Also make the status block selectable (read-only TextEdit) so
session_uuid etc. can be copied, and relabel the event log.
cc
After bit-perfect ALSA Direct grabs a DAC exclusively (hw: + D-Bus
reservation), the device stays sequestered and is invisible to PipeWire,
so switching back to the PipeWire backend can't see it without restarting
the app. Tauri had a refresh affordance for hot-plugged DACs; this is the
refresh plus an explicit release, in one button.
Backend: Player::release_device() / AudioCommand::ReleaseDevice tears the
stream down immediately (cancelling the deferred drop), freeing the hw:
grab + its reservation, then un-suspends the parked sink and resets any
forced graph clock (both self-gating). It does NOT reopen, unlike
reinit_device which would re-grab the device.
UI: a refresh-cw icon button beside the Output device select, propagated
through the settings callback chain to handle_release_device, which
releases, waits for PipeWire to reclaim, then re-enumerates so a freed or
hot-plugged DAC reappears without an app restart.
cc
QbzSelect badges now render a "BP" tag for bit-perfect outputs and a
speaker glyph (volume-2) for the rest (real outputs that play audio but
not bit-perfect) — an addition, not a replacement. Only the device select
passes badges, so other selects are unchanged.
Add opt-in `searchable`: long output lists overflowed at 1440p, so the
open list gets a case-insensitive filter box and a 360px scroll cap.
Filtering hides non-matching rows by visibility only (model order intact,
so selected(i) keeps the original index). Backed by a new Rust
TextUtil.contains-ci pure callback (Slint 1.16 has no contains builtin).
cc
Flyouts & idle (main effort):
- Header dropdowns now glue under the tab: open-menu resets from-sidebar +
title (a stale sidebar flyout state was flinging the panel far away).
- Idle-close now pauses while the cursor rests on the TRIGGER too (full
header tabs gained the trigger-hovered logic the others already had).
- Dropped the dropdown caret (saves width on small screens).
Header nav layout:
- Section nav moved INTO the left-controls cluster, after the three sacred
buttons, so it never overlaps them. Full text tabs when nav-in-sidebar off
and sidebar not closed; compact icons when closed — mutually exclusive (no
more duplicate/cluttered header).
- Search field gives up 60px (animated) when the header hosts the nav.
Settings made functional:
- Toast component mounted in AppShell (it was never rendered) + the in-app
toasts toggle drives ToastState.enabled.
- "Show album artwork in Local Library track list" now drives the Tracks/
Folders rows. Both rows un-flagged as unsupported.
Collapsible search (ExpandableSearch, app-wide):
- Smooth open AND close (width animates both ways; magnifier fades).
- Reliable auto-focus on open (deferred via a one-shot timer).
cc
Shell & navigation:
- Three-state sidebar (open/mini/closed); collapse cycles via header button.
- Section nav as right-flyouts (sidebar) + compact header nav (closed) +
full header tabs (nav-in-sidebar off), via a shared HeaderMenuOverlay.
- Collapsed-folder right-flyout popup (max 4 + scrollbar), Rust-populated.
- Thin auto-hiding sidebar scrollbar pinned to the edge (Flickable, drag-safe).
- Slack-style bezel: rounded inset content panel over surface-card chrome.
- Header restructure: nav buttons, window-centered search, app menu.
Themes & components:
- Live theme switching: Dark / OLED Black / Tokyo Night / System (std-widgets).
- SegmentedTabBar (Discovery-style) with count badges for Library + Local Library.
- MP3 quality-badge tier (format-first classification) across badges.
- QbzSelect (Group/Sort) trimmed 20px.
Behavior fixes:
- Artist + Local Library Folder cover art now reach the rendered (visible/
grouped) models, not just the source set.
- Favorites Playlists/Labels random buttons.
- Playlist track click plays from the clicked track in visible order.
- Dropdown idle-close pauses while the cursor rests on the menu.
cc
Lift the Tauri scan-orchestration loop into the core crate and drive it from
Settings > Local Library with live progress + cancel.
Core (qbz-library/src/scan.rs): scan_with_progress(db, folder_ids, artwork_cache,
cancel, on_event) replicates v2_library_scan (full) and v2_library_scan_folder
(single) byte-for-byte: CUE files first, per-album sidecar override, embedded ->
folder artwork with a per-folder cache, insert, and missing-file cleanup (whole
DB for full, folder-prefix for single). Progress is pushed through a ScanEvent
callback (no IPC poll) and a cancel AtomicBool is checked at every file boundary
(no cleanup/scan-time on cancel, Tauri parity). Two verified improvements: the
full scan now stamps each folder's last_scan, and network status is re-detected
for every non-overridden scanned folder.
Slint: LibraryScanState global (single poll target; progress computed Rust-side);
a determinate 2-rect progress bar + counts + current-file + Stop button in the
panel; scan-all disabled while running. Controller run_scan() on spawn_blocking
with a ~100ms-coalesced sink (terminal/phase events bypass throttling), an owned
SCAN_CANCEL token, an outcome toast, and a post-scan reload (folder list +
reset browse models so the tabs re-fetch). scan-all/scan-folder/stop-scan wired.
cc
Port the Tauri folder-management surface to a new Settings > Local Library
sub-section (index 4); the browse-view gear routes here and pre-selects it.
UI:
- LocalLibrarySettings.slint: folder list (icon, display name, disabled/
unavailable badges, multi-select checkboxes) + toolbar (scan-all/add/edit/
remove icon buttons) + filter + Maintenance (cleanup missing) + two-step
Danger Zone clear. ADR-008: plain bordered icon buttons + square badges.
- LibFolderEditModal.slint: alias, enabled, network override + fs-type,
change-path, accessibility status, last-scanned, scan-this-folder. Mounted
at the AppShell root (overlays the window, ADR-009 by mount order).
- SettingsView gains the section-4 sub-nav + panel; app.slint re-exports the
new globals so the Rust layer can populate them.
Controller (local_library_settings.rs): load/add/remove/edit/save/change-path,
cleanup-missing (stats outside the DB lock), two-step clear, filter, select.
All DB access via qbz-library through library_db::with_db on spawn_blocking;
native dir picker + confirms via rfd. Selection preserved across reloads;
network folders get an async 6s-timeout accessibility check (exists() fallback
on timeout, mirroring Tauri).
Core (qbz-library): network_fs_label() for fs-type parity; separator-safe
delete_tracks_in_folder_prefixed() + remove_folder_with_tracks() (fixes the
prefix-collision bug without changing the legacy fn). Scan engine lands in
Slice B.
cc
The panel improvised its own title + free-form paragraph + ghost buttons,
breaking the established Settings structure. Rebuilt it like Audio/Playback/
Appearance: a GroupHeader ("OFFLINE CACHE") + SettingRow rows (label +
description + a SecondaryButton control on the right) — Manage offline cache /
Cache folder / Clear offline cache. No panel-level title (the left sub-nav
names the section). Keeps the layout consistent for the offline settings we'll
add here later.
cc
Marks every non-functional Appearance row (Theme, Language, Font, UI Scale, notifications, window-title, player views, system tray, immersive) with the SettingRow 'unsupported' red label. Only the wired 'Show playlist cover collages' and the 'Detected' status row stay normal. Red = not actually connected, so what still needs wiring is visible at a glance.
cc
Add a SettingRow 'unsupported' flag that renders the label red. Mark the Title Bar and Window Controls sections: that Tauri custom-window-decoration paradigm does not carry over to Slint's TitleBar/Plasma chrome.
cc
Add an Appearance sub-section to the Slint settings, mirroring Tauri's:
theme + auto-theme, font/UI-scale/language, startup page, sidebar playlist
collage (wired to the sidebar flag), notifications/toasts/tray, title bar +
window controls, immersive + miniplayer. Controls reuse QbzToggle/QbzSelect
and the AudioSettings/PlaybackSettings layout. Most controls are visual
stubs (AppearanceState + TODO callbacks) pending backend wiring.
cc
The Output Device dropdown, on the ALSA backend, listed devices flat,
unordered, with the BP badge on too many rows. Port the Tauri
DeviceDropdown.svelte ALSA behaviour:
- Regroup devices into Defaults / Bit-perfect (Hardware / Digital) /
Plugin Hardware / Other Outputs, in that order, with a section header
above the first row of each non-empty section.
- Align device_is_bit_perfect (the BP badge rule) with the Tauri ALSA
bit-perfect group: hw: / front:CARD= / iec958: only. hdmi: and
sysdefault: route through plugins and no longer get the badge.
- The regrouped ids stay index-aligned with SettingsMaps.devices, so the
settings-select("device", i) callback still resolves to the right id
and selected-device persistence is unaffected.
cc
The BP badge marked every ALSA device; it now marks only the direct
hardware PCMs (hw:/front:/iec958:/hdmi:), matching Tauri — sysdefault
and plug devices are not bit-perfect. The device list also opens at
480px (right-anchored) so the full card + PCM id name is readable
instead of being elided in a 300px control.
cc
The output-device select now shows an accent BP marker on devices
able to deliver bit-perfect audio: every ALSA hw card, hardware nodes
on PipeWire, none under PulseAudio. QbzSelect gained an optional
parallel badges array so other selects are unaffected.
cc
NowPlayingBar (start of the playback-bar work):
- height raised to 110px
- SeekBar component: three-line track (total / cached / progress), a
hover thumb, elapsed/remaining times, and a hover time bubble with a
downward caret marking the seek position
- song card: background and border dropped, gains the extra height,
album/artist links and the context icon kept (context icon now
always shown)
- transport + secondary buttons copied from Tauri (shuffle, prev,
play, next, repeat, add, favorite; cast, picture-in-picture,
fullscreen, normalization; volume cluster). Queue/Lyrics stay in the
header — and the header now orders them lyrics-then-queue.
Settings constraints (1:1 with Tauri):
- Exclusive Mode enabled only on ALSA; DAC Passthrough only on
PipeWire; Lock Output Device disabled while DAC Passthrough is on;
Gapless disabled while Streaming Only is on
- backend change cascades: forces off DAC passthrough / force-bit-
perfect / exclusive / gapless as appropriate; DAC-passthrough and
streaming-only cascades; initial-buffer slider right-aligned
Discover fixes:
- navigation [<] [>] pair homologated to the same top/left margin
across every view
- album/artist description moved back into the metadata column (it now
fills the width there) with uniform secondary text color
- genre filter button hugs its label instead of stretching
- Recently Played Albums and Tracks modules always render, with a
placeholder until the play history has data
- wider spacing between Discover rows; the Discover gear is no longer
a Settings shortcut (it is the per-tab sort/show-hide control)
cc
Rebuild both Settings panels to match the Tauri app — every option
present, on the correct tab, and fully functional (persisted and
applied to the live player).
Audio: streaming quality, limit-quality-to-device, maximum sample rate,
backend, output device, ALSA plugin, hardware volume, exclusive mode,
reserve DAC, DAC passthrough, force bit-perfect, allow quality
fallback, sync-on-startup, lock output device, and a reset button.
Conditional rows (ALSA plugin, hardware volume, max sample rate, force
bit-perfect, lock output device) are gated on Rust-computed flags.
Playback: continue-after-track, show context icon, gapless, restore
session, resume position, stream uncached, initial buffer size (slider),
streaming only, quality-retry behavior. Note gapless and the streaming
options live on the Playback tab though the qbz-audio struct stores them.
- ui_prefs.rs: JSON store for the frontend-only streaming-quality pref
- QbzSlider primitive for the integer buffer-size control
- volume normalization row removed (Tauri hides it)
Caveat: toggling reserve-DAC persists and is read live, but re-arming
the device reservation guard mid-session needs a player-side API that
does not exist yet; it takes effect on next launch.
cc
Add a navigation history so pages can be walked back and forward.
- nav.rs: a back/forward stack of NavEntry (home, album, artist,
settings); record() on fresh navigation, go_back/go_forward to walk it
- NavButtons: a [<] [>] pair styled like the Discover tab group; inline
beside the Discover tabs and in place of the per-page Back button on
album, artist and settings views
- All navigation routes through Rust (open-album/-artist record entries;
the gear and header menu use NavState.request-settings) so the history
stays accurate; back/forward re-apply entries, re-loading entity pages
- AppShell listens for the mouse back/forward buttons
- can-back / can-forward drive the buttons' enabled state
Also in this round:
- Album header description: render a pre-truncated short string so it
wraps to a couple of lines instead of overflowing the header; the full
text stays in the Read-more modal
- Header queue button uses an ordered-list icon (the previous one read
as a playlist)
cc
Introduce the Settings page, reachable from the Discover gear and the
header menu. Two sub-sections backed by the existing UI-agnostic stores.
- Audio panel: backend, output device and sample-rate dropdowns;
toggles for exclusive mode, DAC passthrough, PipeWire force
bit-perfect, gapless, normalization and quality fallback
- Playback panel: autoplay mode, show context icon, remember session
and resume position
- settings.rs controller owns AudioSettingsStore + PlaybackPreferencesStore
at the shared global path; persists changes and applies audio ones to
the live Player (reload_settings, plus reinit_device for routing-
critical changes); a backend switch re-enumerates output devices
- QbzToggle (switch) and QbzSelect (PopupWindow dropdown) primitives,
SettingRow layout helper, chevron-down icon
- SettingsState global, ContentView::settings, settings-bool /
settings-select callbacks wired through the shell
