pqmusic's Issues

Not playing anything

I did install its dependencies, the application opens, but when i open music with it, the slider dont start and dont move from beginning, the play icon becomes pause, i think its not starting anything, this here is the error if i start by terminal.

defaultServiceProvider::requestService(): no service found for - "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer"

Please add Ctrl+Q shortcut for exiting app

This is a very common keyboard shortcut among GUI applications and it would handy for keyboard focused users.

PQMusic odd behavior in tiling WM/compositor

I am running PQMusic v1.2.1 on Arch Linux with sway 1.7. I noticed that the main UI acts weird in sway but also in awesomewm. For example, in the normal view, there is an unusual amount of empty space at the bottom half and the icons at the bottom of the window actually end up somewhere near the middle. It would look better if the song list was extended to take up the space instead.

If I use the mini mode, it shrinks in size but it will revert back to the regular UI once mouse focus goes to another window.

I am guessing it just does not like being tiled.

Feature request: ability to queue files when double-clicking files in a file manager

When I open a music file with Thunar, PQMusic opens and starts playing the song. However if I then double-click another music file while PQMusic is still open, nothing happens. It would be nice if it would simply add the songs to the queue. I understand I can add music with drag and drop or using the add button, however I do prefer using my file manager to navigate and add music rather than using the file picker. Especially since I am very likely to have my file manager already open.
