Dont empty queue on Enqueue

[didster]

Hi,

 

If I have some files queued (with enqueue) and am playing though them, then I enqueue some more, that works as expected as long as the original queue has not been fully played.  If the queue has been fully played, powerapp empties the queue and replaces it with the new files I have just enqueued (plus the 1 file from the old queue thats currently playing).

 

Is this intended behaviour?  If so, its bizarre.  I would expect the queue to keep queueing files until I tell it otherwise by manually clearing the Q.

 

Anyway of turning this behaviour off?

 

Thanks

I would have expected the queue to be cleared after it was empty, yes.

In fact, logically I think I would expect each item to vanish from a queue as soon as it has been played (if you stand in the checkout queue at the supermarket, you don't expect people to still hang around in the queue after they have paid, you expect them to leave)

Logical from the term "queue" but illogical based on what other media players do - they seem to treat the queue as sort of a scratch playlist which, if you ask me, makes much more sense and is far more useful.

 

(Winamp Enqueue, MS Medial Player etc) 

 

I guess its opinion, for me its the only thing missing from an otherwise great player.  There are other posts on here about similar things with the Q.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. I tend to use the queue for an odd item or two (where I want to finish the currently playing item before starting something specific, and then return to normal playback afterwards). If I wanted to make a temporary playlist, I'd create a Playlist called Temporary.
