Under the ambient field some controls still painted the opaque theme
token while their neighbours used the half-alpha one: the album track
filter and its select toggle, the Library tab strip's host, the Local
Library icon selects, the header's active nav items and open playlists
button, the queue sidebar's now-playing card and artwork placeholders,
the Listen list's floating actions, and the shared SettingsButton,
IconTextButton, multi-select bar, text area, load-more pill, tree row
selection, sidebar count chips, Purchases tab strip, play-history filter
box and Orbit banner. Each now takes the ambient-aware fill the header
search and QbzTabBar already use (theme.ambientOn ? …A50 : …).
Tooltips, popups and modals stay opaque on purpose: they are read over
content, not chrome.
cc
Library feed album items carry the catalog label id next to its name.
Library > Releases (list) gains a LABEL column between the item and its
quality — a link to the label page when the id is known, muted text
otherwise — hidden on the label page itself and on narrow kiosk rows.
AlbumListRow and AlbumCard menus gain "View label" (the card only where its
host passes the id: the library grid does). The library's release-wide
availability helper is shared with the playlist rows for the next change.
cc
Add shared playback memory profiles, bounded disk-backed playback and storage
selection for desktop and daemon. Preserve gapless during streaming-only playback
and provide explicit cache eviction with playback confirmation.
Stop watcher read events and unchanged scans from rebuilding the local catalog.
Restore playlist/sidebar updates, folder availability feedback and player layout.
Add appearance presets and a radio-based cache settings panel with translated
trade-offs, plus consistent clipboard menus across visible Qt text editors.
Validate with Rust regressions, QML interaction tests, isolated release startup
and idle-library checks; extend the shared local and CI gates.

- Homologate the three Library header selects to the ambient Group style; Sort
gains an arrow-down-up glyph, a "Sort" placeholder and an explicit Default,
and every select's border clears when it returns to its default value.
- Seekbar fluidity: a drag scrubs locally and commits a single seek on release;
the time readout is a floating opaque tooltip reparented to the overlay so the
content-frame shadow no longer bleeds noise over it.
- Route the NowPlayingBar info button and title to the LOCAL track-info modal
for a local row, so a local track no longer opens an empty Qobuz modal.
- App menu shows each entry's shortcut (muted, smaller, right-aligned, resolved
per platform — Cmd on macOS, Ctrl elsewhere) and gains a Quit entry; the
keyboard-shortcuts modal adds Close Window and Quit under Navigation, moves
Immersive below Interface, and tightens row heights. i18n for Quit/Close
Window across all eight locales.
- Persist each Library tab's filter toggles to disk, independently per tab.
cc
Restore tray-aware close and quit confirmation, circular label covers, and missing label artist portraits. Publish artwork progressively, preload two grid rows, and skip redundant motion reports while preserving data refreshes.
Include regression tests and isolated artwork benchmarks. Verified Linux build, QML checks, and scrolling smoke tests.
cx
Handle explicit MPRIS Play/Pause without toggling paused playback, remove the 10,000-favorite cutoff, and sort albums by original release dates. Isolate Library filters by tab, include purchased release dates, and support server-ranked artist popularity with safe pagination.
Validated with 766 Qt tests, QML checks, release-sort regressions, and a release build. Refs #750, #751.
cx
Carry the physical source list through Discover pins and Library feeds, including logical albums with multiple origins. Reuse the Local Library badge vocabulary and shared AlbumCard rendering so local origins remain visible in Discover, Library and MyQBZ.
Validated with 738 Qt tests and the six QML audits.
cx
Parse resilient SACD images, decode DST, scan ISO releases into the local library, and keep explicit opens ephemeral.
Ship decoder notices across distribution formats and align DSD album filtering and version selection.
cx
Preserve the remaining queue when shuffle is disabled, expose clear transport state tooltips, retain Library source filters for the session, and add independent track-artwork preferences for Queue and Library.
cx
QualityBadge has always owned a hover tooltip, but every AlbumCard host
passed only the tier, so the tip had nothing to say. The card gains a
qualityDetail input feeding the badge's label, and all fifteen mounts
now pass their model's detail (HomeCard rides its qualityLabel twin).
Un-hydrated Plex/remote rows surface their bare filetype — the known
honest fallback; an empty detail still shows no tooltip at all. The
Scene panel's own card already wired this and is untouched.
cc
Add bounded native library models, complete grouping rails and scan progress. Bring source-aware metadata editing, media information and collection offline preflight to Qt, and repair inherited Plex album artwork without overriding healthy tokens.

Selection existed but had no keyboard: every click was a single toggle,
so picking 40 tracks meant 40 clicks. Slint and Tauri have had ranges
since 2026-06; this is that port.
NINE surfaces, not the five the track views suggested: Album, Artist,
Playlist, Label, Local Album, plus Library's tracks and albums and Local
Library's tracks and albums. Each carried its own hand-copied `selected`
map and its own `toggleSelected`, so the rule went into
controls/SelectionModel.qml and the maps stayed where they were — the
smallest change that stops it being copied a tenth time.
The rules are Tauri's `applyShiftRange`, unchanged: a plain click
toggles one row without clearing the rest, Shift fills the range from
the anchor ADDITIVELY (so re-dragging a range cannot eat the set) and
leaves the anchor where it is, and Ctrl/Cmd is the same as a plain click
— not a shortcut, but the behaviour both references already have,
because an accumulating click is what "add without disturbing" means.
Qt makes this CHEAPER than Slint, and the difference is worth recording:
Slint had no modifiers at click time and had to read a thread-local set
from a ModifiersChanged handler, with a documented stale-read edge case
when the window lost focus mid-chord. A QML MouseArea delivers
`mouse.modifiers` on the event itself, so the modifier and the click can
never disagree and no such seam exists here.
Three judgement calls, stated because they are not forced:
- Library gets TWO models, one per kind. Its rows are mixed, and one
anchor would let a Shift-click on a track sweep up the albums drawn
between it and the anchor.
- Ranges run over the VISIBLE rows. Local Library's search box is a
view filter, and a range over rows the user cannot see is not the
range they asked for — the same call `select-all` already made.
- The Local Library tree rail keeps plain toggles. Its selection lives
in Rust (QbzLocal.treeToggle*Select), so there is no QML map to hang
an anchor off; teaching the Rust side about an anchor is its own
change, and the file says so where a reader would expect otherwise.
The anchor is an ID, not an index, because every one of these views can
re-sort or filter under a live selection — an index anchor silently
points at a different track the moment the order changes. Slint's
selection.rs made the same call for the same reason.
Verified by driving the app: in Abbey Road, click row 1 then Shift-click
row 5 selects exactly rows 1-5 and leaves 6-8 untouched, with the bar
reading "5 selected"; the same in a playlist, additively over a row that
was already selected.
cc
ONE component instantiated twice, because it is one form twice. Every
difference between the protocols is a property set at the call site, so
they are visible in one place instead of drifting across two files:
"Test" proves the address for Jellyfin and only "a Subsonic server
answered" for Subsonic (which has no credential-free endpoint), the
password is discarded for Jellyfin and kept for Subsonic (no session,
md5(password+salt) per request), and the sync cost is stated up front —
45.8 s per 4924 tracks against 0.81 s per 6678 — so a long sweep does not
read as a hang. The credential never leaves Rust; the panel gets
`hasCredential`.
Assets: the colour marks for cards, the monochrome ones for rows. Both
mono files arrived as BLACK ink and are invisible on a dark theme
untinted, so they were normalised to the #ffffff master ink and joined
`icon_tint_qt::MASTERS` — the port's only shader-free way to recolour an
SVG per theme. The Jellyfin colour asset had a white rounded-rect plate
behind the mark; it was stripped, because every other brand mark here is
transparent and a white tile beside them reads as a rendering bug.
Rendered with Qt itself and looked at before any of it was wired.
CAVEAT, recorded in SourceIcon: the Subsonic mark is NAVIDROME's logo,
and `subsonic` covers Gonic, Airsonic, Astiga and Ampache too. `ping`
reports the server's own type and it is already persisted, so branching
later is cheap — a known wrongness, not an unnoticed one.
THREE BUGS THAT ONLY THE RUNNING WINDOW COULD SHOW, all found by
driving it under Xvfb rather than by reading the log:
1. `MediaServerSettings is not a type` — a .qml missing from build.rs is
not in the QML module. It resolves fine on disk, compiles nothing,
and blanks the WHOLE settings page at runtime. All three existing
audits passed. `qml_module_registration_audit.py` is the missing
check and is now in the gate.
2. The toggle would not move. The panel reads its state from the
settings DOCUMENT, unlike Plex's toggle which reads a bridge
property, so every mutation has to republish it — connect, enable,
disconnect and the end of a sweep now do.
3. Every Jellyfin album in the grid drew the LOCAL HARD-DRIVE badge:
`local_rows::badge_source` had never been taught the two words and
folded them into `_ => local`. Not cosmetic — that string is what the
source chips filter on.
`play_single_from_source` also grew the arm it needed: a media-server row
from the recently-played rail has no library.db row to mint a LocalTrack
from, so it resolves through `registry.tracks_of` instead.
END TO END, from the UI, against the real server: toggle on -> type the
address -> Connect -> "jellyfin sync: 500/4924 ... 4924 saved, 0 pruned,
4924 cached" -> Local Library shows 461 albums with their covers and the
Jellyfin badge. The cached quality distribution is identical to what the
server reported in the original protocol sweep.
428/428.
cc
Six parity fronts against the Slint/Tauri references, plus the applied-filters
tooltip the app never had.
MIXED PLAYLISTS — the bug. A mixed playlist is a QOBUZ playlist carrying local
and Plex rows through library.db's playlist_local_tracks / playlist_plex_tracks
sidecar tables. This port could WRITE those rows (the picker) and COUNT them
(the Playlist Manager badge), but playlist_qt::load built its rows exclusively
from the Qobuz API response, so a track added to a playlist never appeared on
the page it was added to. Two comments elsewhere claimed the merge already
happened; they were describing the reference. Ported literally:
read_sidecar_rows_blocking (healing + bulk Plex resolve) and interleave_rows
(absolute-slot claim, same-slot collisions all emit), merged in load, with the
merged queue adopted as the open-detail snapshot.
Routing had to split with it. local_playlist_qt::open_id() was the one
predicate for every action, and a mixed detail adopts that same snapshot — so
it now means "a local:<uuid> detail OR a mixed one", which is right for
play/shuffle/row-play and wrong for the writes. Remove and reorder route on the
new local_detail_open() instead; without that, removing a local row from a
Qobuz playlist wrote into the local-playlist repo, found nothing, and reported
success. Removal by source is a third arm: the Qobuz arm parses the display id
as a u64 playlist_track_id, and a local row's display id is a library.db rowid
in the same numeric space. Reorder is refused on a mixed detail for the same
collision, in Rust and in the view.
PAGE FADE. 300 ms OpacityAnimator on the mounted page, OutCubic, honouring
reduceMotion. Zero added latency: the router's Loader is synchronous, the UI
thread is frozen through the mount and no frame exists in which a fade-OUT
could be shown, so the page snaps transparent in the same turn as the rebuild
and only the reveal is animated. An Animator and not a NumberAnimation because
it runs on the render thread — measured 0.53 vs 0.11 of progress with the GUI
thread blocked — and not on the shared pulse because the pulse arrives on the
very thread the mount blocks.
The first cut faded a veil coloured from the pane, and that was wrong in a way
that only shows in the configuration the app actually runs in: AppShell paints
the pane surface-main@0.22 while the ambient background is on, so a veil at
full opacity covered 22% of the page and the fade read as a flicker. Fading the
page has no such failure mode and keeps the ambient art visible.
SPLASH COPY. The login screen was already 1:1 (18 msgids, verified by diff).
The splash was missing the legal disclaimer the reference pins to the bottom of
the screen, drew "QBZ" / "QOBUZ PLAYER" as bare literals (English in all eight
locales), and hardcoded the dark palette — black on the other 34 themes.
CATEGORY FILTER on the Home playlists rail. Slugs now travel per card and the
offered set comes from the same /discover/index response, so the filter is
client-side over the cached 40 with no extra request. The selection lives in
Rust because HomeView is destroyed on every navigation; the reference keeps its
own for the same reason. New trigger + popup, and a `leading` slot on
QbzSectionHeader to hang it off the title line.
APPLIED-FILTERS TOOLTIP. A third QbzTooltip mode taking [{group, values}],
below the control with an upward caret. Overflow is staged summary and never
scroll — the overlay is enabled:false by construction, so a scrollable tooltip
could not be scrolled. Wired where a filter is INVISIBLE (collapsed to a count
or a glyph): the genre chip in four hosts, the Home tags, the Local Library and
Purchases funnels, the Artist Scene genres.
RECENTS BY CONTEXT. QueueTrack already carried context_kind and exactly one
function threw it away: record_queue_track wrote both album histories on every
track start whatever the user had put on, so one 40-track playlist filled a
24-entry album rail with that playlist's contents. album_play_events gains an
additive context_kind column (the other frontend names its columns on insert,
so it writes '' and '' counts as an album — no history reinterpreted), plus a
new playlist_play_history.db and a "Recently Played Playlists" rail, default on.
A separate file rather than a field in recently_played.json, which is a
destructive round trip between frontends: serde drops what it does not know and
the next write puts the truncated object back.
ITEMS PER CAROUSEL, recovered from Tauri and never ported to Slint. It lives in
a NEW TABLE of discover_prefs.db, not in the prefs blob: to_json rebuilds the
object from the keys the running binary knows and save overwrites the whole
column, so a new key would survive only until the other build's next toggle.
Default is uncapped, i.e. today's behaviour.
Two DiscoverySectionId arms were added to the frozen Slint tree, obliged by the
shared enum's exhaustive matches — same two-line follow MostPlayedAlbums took.
Not verifiable here: compiling that crate pulls qbz-ui.
Also fixes two recommendations_qt tests that had been red since c02e7713d,
which turned the two Weekly rows into ordering slots that deliberately do not
self-hide while the assertions kept the pre-split behaviour. Verified by stash
that they fail without any of this change: the code was right, the tests stale.
Eight locales updated. Release build clean, offscreen smoke gate green,
qbz-qt 421/421 and qbz-app 215/215.
cc
Follow-up to 66ba12bd5, which fixed the coverflow but left two of its
neighbours and a gate that could not see either of them.
QueueTabsPanel built one ImmQueueRow per queue track when opened —
including every collapsed 0-height history slot, which on the reported
session was 1162 of 1935. The slot stays (its height is what makes the
collapsed-history arithmetic work); the row inside is now built only
within a viewport of the visible band.
SuggestionsPanel and AppShell's QueuePanel move behind Loaders. The
queue panel was never the freeze — its rows are paginated at 40 in
Rust — but a closed panel should not be constructed, and the audit
cannot know about a cap that lives on the other side of the bridge.
Gating it also let SuggestionsPanel drop the onVisibleChanged half of
its load hook: mounting IS becoming visible now.
The audit is the real content of this commit. Written narrow — only a
model fed by unbounded user data counts, because the wide rule reports
145 sites and a gate that noisy gets switched off in a day — it then
reported the pre-fix tree CLEAN. A gate that cannot catch the bug it
was written for is worth nothing, so it was tested against that tree
and fixed on two counts:
- CROSS-FILE. The `visible:` sat in ImmersiveView.qml while the two
Repeaters over the whole queue lived in CoverflowPanel.qml. There
is now a transitive index: a component is heavy if its own file has
an unbounded view or if it mounts something that does.
- MULTI-LINE. The coverflow's gate spans two lines, so a first-line
read saw `QbzShaderScene.scene === 0`, matched no known gate, and
skipped it.
With both, it finds all five mounts on the pre-fix tree, including the
two that froze the app. Known gates also grew past tab predicates: the
coverflow was keyed on QbzImmersive.mode.
Verified on a copy of the real session state with the 1935-row queue
restored: launches to a painted Discover, idle at 1.0% CPU.

Un-following a Qobuz playlist left it in the sidebar and in My Library.
toggle_follow called unsubscribe_playlist and settled the ownership snapshot
and stopped there, so the row only left at the next full refetch. Both
surfaces are patched directly now, in both directions: following from a card
buys the metadata with one get_playlist rather than re-reading
getUserPlaylists, which lags the write. The un-follow collapses a
hearted-and-followed playlist to the one row the next load will actually
produce instead of dropping it, because the local heart is a library.db flag
that survives the unsubscribe — removing every row made it vanish and come
back, which is the original complaint wearing the other shoe.
The Plex mark on album cards was a hard-drive glyph tinted accent — a blue
hard drive — and the three Qobuz kinds drew no badge at all. The badge now
ports discover/AlbumCard.slint:326-354 exactly: 24x24 at radius 4 pinned
bottom-right with a 6px inset, plex-logo untinted at 16, qobuz-logo at 18
(22 for a download), the purchase arm gold on its amber chip, hard-drive
white at 14 for local only. The brand marks are plain Images: routing them
through QbzIcon floods every pixel with the tint and flattens a logo to a
silhouette. SourceIcon moves to controls/ since it is no longer local-only,
and every other surface drawing a hard-drive was audited against its .slint.
The local album detail loses the two nav chevrons above the art. They are a
Tauri-era leftover from before the app had global navigation.
My QBZ used a bespoke card in the grid. MyQbzDetailCard is deleted and the
standard cards/AlbumCard is mounted with its overlay. localMode bundled four
separate things — action routing, the heart, the pin and Block this album —
so a multi-source container had to switch all four off together; it is split,
and the catalog affordances now follow the ITEM. On a Qobuz cell the heart
works through the shared favourite seam; on a track, playlist, local or Plex
cell it is absent rather than dead. Row covers carry two rungs: the list keeps
_50, the grid gets _600. Not the _230 that would merely cover a 200px card —
the complaint was that the cover reads softer than a normal AlbumCard, and a
normal AlbumCard is fed image.large, which IS _600. _200 is not a rung the
CDN serves at all (it answers 404).
The My QBZ grid sets reuseItems, and AlbumCard assigns to its own isFavorite
and isPinned when toggled, which destroys the binding that fed them. A
recycled delegate therefore showed the previous row's heart and the click
added the new album while the glyph said remove. Restored with the
Qt.binding idiom this port already uses on TrackCard, PlaylistCard and
TrackRow.
The details view no longer force-opens every row on entry, and the per-row
open state persists.
Library > Artists showed placeholders for nearly every portrait. The side
panel never reported its artwork window — the one caller of
libraryArtworkWindow is LibraryView.reportWindow, and the panel had no
report call at all, so no key ever reached the resolver and artMap stayed
empty for its rows. The rail now reports through that same path, with the
section-header sentinel reportWindow already skips. Note the reference has
no portrait fallback either: an artist Qobuz serves no image for is a
placeholder on both sides.
cc
Ports the whole playlist-organisation domain, which had no counterpart in
this frontend, plus the Library work the owner asked not to defer.
Playlist Manager. New controller (playlist_manager_qt, _rows, _ops) over the
already-ported folders_qt repository, which until now had zero consumers.
Grid, list and folder-tree modes; sort, filter and search; folder cards and
chips; drag reorder and up/down arrows. Reached from the sidebar's "..."
menu, whose New folder / Manage playlists / Import rows had been rendering
dimmed and inert behind a comment saying the seam did not exist.
Folders. QbzFolderEdit plus the create/edit modals and PmFolderIcon: preset
or custom-image icons, colour, hidden flag, delete. Deleting a folder nulls
its LOCAL members' folder_id explicitly, because the app keeps the
foreign_keys pragma off, so the schema's ON DELETE SET NULL never fires for
them.
QbzPlaylistEdit. One shared rename/description/delete editor replacing the
inline popup in PlaylistView. Three corrections the old path had wrong: the
description is carried through a rename instead of being written as NULL,
a FOLLOWED playlist routes to unsubscribe (playlist/delete returns 200 and
silently no-ops on a playlist you do not own), and the post-delete back
navigation is conditional on actually being on that playlist's page, so
deleting from the manager no longer navigates you off it.
Importer. Spotify / Apple Music / Tidal / Deezer, over the shared
qbz-playlist-import crate.
Picker local mode. The reference's four-case matrix — target local or Qobuz,
payload local refs or Qobuz ids. Local playlists list unconditionally and
Qobuz ones only when online. Local refs onto a Qobuz playlist write the
library.db sidecar at next_playlist_sidecar_position(pid, qobuz_count); the
0-based enumerate the reference used before collided slots and lost rows.
The carried payload can no longer be parsed as a catalog id when it is a
library row id. Unblocks the local bulk add-to-playlist.
Library. A-Z jump strip, Albums list mode, Artists side panel, per-tab
persistence and multi-select. Preferences land in the same
<data-dir>/qbz/favorites_ui.json the shipping build writes, so switching
between the two frontends keeps them. LibraryView is split into
views/library/ on the way past 1800 lines.
Local library. Group-by now persists; playback queues the order on screen
rather than the SQL page order; switching album-identity mode invalidates
the Artists tab; artist matching folds diacritics and compares normalized
credit parts, so "Air" stops listing "Airbourne" and "Beyonce" stops being
two artists.
Offline. activate_offline never persisted a last-user marker, so every
per-user path resolved to None and all local reads came back empty; a
session that started offline saw no local playlists at all. The sidebar's
load-once latch was function-local and therefore unreachable from the logout
reset, so a second login never rebuilt the tree. Both are session-scoped
now, and the sidebar Refresh row runs the local-safe verb instead of being
dimmed with no way to recover.
Also fixes, found while verifying rather than reported: artwork derivatives
were written straight to their final path, so a QML Image resolving one
mid-encode opened a truncated png and Qt cached that failure against the URL
for the rest of the session; Library's track group separators referenced a
Component declared in another delegate's scope and could never render; the
genre filter was drawn on Tracks and Albums but applied only on All; an
All-feed row called a player method that does not exist; and the sidebar's
drop-hot highlight used Slint's #RRGGBBAA literals in Qt's #AARRGGBB slot.
17 new msgids across all 8 locales.
