XYplorer Beta Club

Now that most mp3 and flac seem to be previewing for me now, I was wondering if there was a way to trigger QAP without having to click on the file icon. Selecting a file to preview, then moving to the icon and clicking/holding right or left mouse button is my normal process.

It would be much quicker if if it was maybe possible to have middle mouse button if the pointer is inside the list pane, or an assigned key to start the preview of the selected file, and releasing stopping the preview. Then the pointer can be dedicated to navigating and selecting. Focusing on each icon gets exhausting.

If this isnt really ideal, then an alternative could be with the preview/info pane visible, autoplay enabled, clicking/holding on the item name to begin preview along and the added ability to quickly seek/scrub with mouse like QAP. Perhaps leaving autoplay off and just having an option for the same QAP functionality when the info pane is visible and clicking an item in the list.

Please move to wishes forum, my mistake.

Made a hack solution for this one. I like the speed of using QAP holding a mouse click and mouse drag for seek while auditioning songs. But I really find file icons a very precise thing to click on quickly one after another. It gets tedious previewing one after another as quick as desired, when eyes are focusing on the filename and QAP has to be triggered on a tiny icon square to the far left.

I decided to use AHK and have middle clicking on and item move the mouse to the icon and start QAP. An option for Custom Event Actions for middle click on an item, maybe could have a choice to trigger/emulate a mouse click on the icon?

However my solution depends xyplorer layout to be always the same, its the only way this script will click on the right icon location. here's roughly what works for me if it helps anyone out.

$MButton::
IfWinActive, %XYPlorer%
{
MouseGetPos, xpos, ypos, id, control
WinGetTitle, title, ahk_id %id%
WinGetClass, class, ahk_id %id%
;MsgBox, The cursor is at X%xpos% Y%ypos%, title: %title% class: %class% control: %control%
if(control=="ThunderRT6PictureBoxDC70") {
MouseMove, 18, %ypos%, 0 ; Pane 1
Send {LButton down}
}

if(control=="ThunderRT6PictureBoxDC60") {
MouseMove, 945, %ypos%, 0 ; Pane 2
Send {LButton down}
;MsgBox, The cursor is at X%xpos% Y%ypos%, title: %title% class: %class% control: %control%
}
return
} else {
Send {MButton}
}
return

MButton Up::
IfWinActive, %XYPlorer%
{
Send {LButton Up}
}
return
