[FR] Clear queue

[Tommartinz]

It should be great to have the option to clear the current queue that it's playing.

It could be implemented by a button in the queue page or by a swipe-down gesture in the mini player.

Right now the only way to clear the queue is by closing the app and removing it from the recent tab, but it should be useful to have an in-app solution.

you can just pause the player and it will exit after two minutes

[Tommartinz]

But it could be a great quality life feature to have the option of doing it whenever you want

[Tommartinz]

Some people doesn't know this behavior, and it could be more intuitive having it

[nift4]

Your goal is to hide Gramophone from currently active music players?

[Tommartinz]

No, it's to have a dedicated option to clear the queue that it's playing, without having to wait or to close the entire app

[nift4]

@Tommartinz In that case I'm confused.
Closing the app like you said does not clear the queue, nor the thing I told you. These do just terminate the app.

[Tommartinz]

In my case it does, but if in your case it doesn't do it, then it's important to have the option to clear the queue.
By the way, you know what I mean when I refer to clearing the queue.

[nift4]

Can you show me a video/screen recording? If it clears the queue it's a semi-serious bug.

[Tommartinz]

Oh I just did it and it didn't clear the queue, well, that's it, we need an option to clear the queue

[nift4]

Just curious, why do you want to clear the queue?

[Tommartinz]

Sometimes I just want to get rid of the current list and play specific songs not related to each other, and it's more comfortable for me clearing all and starting the queue again from scratch

[nift4]

@Tommartinz you can just click any song instead of using "play next", it replaces the entire queue

[Tommartinz]

You are right, I don't know, maybe as a quality life feature, this could be

For me, there's exactly one situation where I really want to clear the queue rather than just make a selection and overwrite the current queue. That's when I want to have only one song in the queue, not that song and everything after it in the view I selected it from. Clear, then enqueue one by one. Often that's because I want it to stop playing after my selected song(s).

I suppose the workaround is to enqueue my selections at the end, then skip ahead to them. Same number of steps, but clearing seems cleaner.
