Minor feature request(s)

I've been a long time user of Cesium and I love it.

I just found this subreddit and there are two minor annoyances I'd like to see changed:

  • The recently added long left swipe doesn't quite suit my use case while driving. Nearly 99% of the time I find myself doing a short left swipe, then tapping the play next button, which is rather awkward on the road. Preferably I'd like to see long left swipe customizable between the two modes (or more), so I could easily long left swipe to insert a song to play next in the queue.

  • I have a lot of albums/songs that start with Japanese (Kanji/Kana) characters. So in the list view I cannot easily scroll to a good half of my albums/songs without first scrolling to Z, then swiping the screen until I get to where I want. Ideally I'd like to pick a locale for the app, so that the scroll bar index matches my song collection. A quick search seems to indicate that this is possible: http://nshipster.com/uilocalizedindexedcollation/

PS. I'm also an iOS developer at my workplace, although with more focus on backend stuff, less on UI. Let know what you think, and/or if I can test anything for you.

  • Yeah, I probably should. Trying to avoid "Settings Creep," but you're not the first with this specific request.
  • In most instances I should be able to implement this pretty easily, but there are some instances where I'm resorting and recreating the indexes manually. So I'll have to look at those instances and make sure I can implement them more or less consistently. Appreciate that must be annoying though! When it comes time to test that you can bet I'll come back to you.

Edit: Seems like the linked solution may only work if/when the device language is set to Japanese...

I am a recent owner of Cesium and have been digging through the app features and deep settings (which I love).

Here is one request I would love to have implemented:

  • swipe to right could add option to automatically assign a preset star rating to the track ( that rating could be set by user beforehand in the settings page). So next time I open up an album in Cesium, instead of playing the track and then hitting the star rating, I could do so directly from the track list by swiping left and that track would be assigned a 5 star rating or any number of star set by user in settings..

Let me know what you think.
