Details

Description:

Several things in deadbeef are broken with the new GTK+3 version, such as:

- Not remembering the window's size and position after closing
- Unable to browse folders to add files from
- Global hotkeys not working when deadbeef is not highlighted

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

- Open Deadbeef
- Try to add music files by 'File -> Add folder(s)' - you won't be able to descend into any directory tree
- Set-up a global keybinding, for instance, 'p' to pause. Then highlight another window. Deadbeef doesn't stop playing
- Resize and move Deadbeef. Close it. Open it again - it won't remember the window position and size.

Fixes:
Using the GTK+2 solves all of these problems. See PKGBUILD attached.

When trying to browse folders, make sure the file type dropdown box is set to "All Files (*)". This will enable the folders for browsing.

Also I cannot reproduce your issue with keybindings. I used your example, and pressing "p" works even when I'm in another workspace. I couldn't even type "p" since it triggered the play/pause instead.

The keybinding thing I couldn't reproduce also, but a fellow (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1263798) said he's had issues.

What about the window position/size not being remembered upon exit?

Fixed all issues - must recompile against the new GTK+3.

The keybinding works sometime, but not always for me. The window position/size not remembered can be reproduced here everytime in Gnome shell. I hope this be compiled against gtk2 since I tried recompiling with gtk3 and didn't work either, and gtk3 is expected to update (and break), gtk2 for now is more stable choice.

So it's best to compile against gtk2 for the time being, the latest gtk3 is having serious issues (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696882).

I tried deadbeef-gtk2 from aur. The hotkey issue is quite similar to GTK3 version: on start media keybindings work , after listening to music for some time, it suddenly stop working. I don' t know whose bug it is. While the remembering size problem doesn' t exist and the look of playlist is much better.

Fixed upstream.
