Unfortunately, this whole window position remembering thing became a bit
complicated. Mostly because I want to distinguish between video and
audio/no content. MediaPlayer wants to open a window right away, but if
asked to open a file, it is not yet known whether it's video or audio. I
thought about using some file name based logic to make a first choice,
which hopefully leaves the false positives to a minimum. Any other ideas?
At the moment, when you open a video file with MediaPlayer (only when it's
not yet running), it opens at the default audio content location, and then
finds out the file was a video and moves the window into view if it was out
of the screen. One could of course not open in the previous location when
launched with a file, but when I drop an audio album on the MediaPlayer
icon, I don't want it to restore the previous playlist, but I do want it to
open at the last position. This is the moment where it is unkown (yet)
whether I dropped a video or audio content. So where to open the window?
Delaying to show the window until the content type is known is no option,
right?
Best regards,
