[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 995009] [NEW] Default action for handling one file should be only playing that file

[Chow Loong Jin]

I have tried to reproduce this issue on my laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 using the
following steps, and have failed to observe the behaviour you are mentioning.

1. Double click on a file in Nautilus
2. File opens in the "File system Queue" in Banshee and begins playing
During this first time, it is the only item in the File system Queue.
3. I wait for it to complete
4. I double click another file in Nautilus
5. It appears in the File system Queue and begins playing.
(Two items in queue now)
6. Upon finishing, it just stops.
7. Exit Banshee
8. Restart Banshee, notice that the File System Queue has been cleared.

So, no, this isn't a "cool way of managing music files" as you have assumed.
Please try to avoid using such a provocative tone in your bug reports in the future.

It would also be nice to have some step-by-step instructions to reproduce the
bug, since I can't see it here.

Title:
  Default action for handling one file should be only playing that file

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Browse a folder in Nautilus containing some audio files.

  Double click on one audio file

  Expected behavior: Banshee should play only that file and then stop.

  Observed behavior: Banshee plays that file, and then other files taken
  from some playlist made of remembered files that were played in the
  past.

  I guess the file you open is automatically added to some "default"
  playlist, or to the last used playlist or something. That is not the
  correct behavior. If the user double clicks one file he wants to play
  one file. If you select a bunch of files and hit Enter, then only
  those files should be played (one after another), not those plus some
  other that have been remembered automatically who-lknows-when without
  the user EVER asking.

  If this is the way Banshee works by design and it is considered a cool
  way of managing music files, then maybe Banshee shouldn't be the
  default player for handling files double-clicked in Nautilus.

  It's not safe to assume that every time a user needs to play an audio
  file he's going to "listen to some music".
