CDJ bugs and feature/UI ideas

The "file/save library" option doesn't work. It acts like it save things but really doesn't. You must save using the floppy icon in the library window.

CDJ and the CD player sometimes diagree. For example CDJ will think the CD is playing when it is not. Other times I will issue a command from CDJ and the CD doesn't respond. I would expect CDJ should be able to track the player since it gets status information back on the s-link bus.

CDJ seems to get confused when a full screen window is deleted. Another window ends up in full screen mode (it was previously reduced size)

It would be nice if the library manager can optionally display the player/slot that it thinks a CD is in. It should also be possible to change the sort order from alphabetical to player/slot. Handy when you are first loading up CDs.

It would also be nice to be able to display/sort by type. I expect a UI that looks like explorer when browsing files. This should make it easier to build playlists.

BTW the slider UI looks nice for music ratings except it's hard to move the damn slider precisely. There should be a numeric display so you can see exactly what you are rating something. Of course I'm not entirely sure yet how the ratings are used.

BTW I could be missing how CDJ should be used and trying to do things the hard way. I would e happy if someone sets me stratight then :-)

The print option appears to be a work in progress. The output is truncated. Today I wanted to print a list of CDs in particular category to give to someone so they don't end up buying a CD that we already ad.
