    Dunno if this "sort tags" thing has been implemented yet, I use the latest version available on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. (Seems to be the latest release 1.2.19)

    But if it is, I'd like to see the sort name in the list if using the sort name for alphabetizing. It's mentally not working in a list of names to see "Billy Idol" but it's sorted as "Idol, Billy" in the middle of I-starting names.

    This is still happening here on 6/20/26. I think it's short disconnects caused by comcast.
    Using Kubuntu 6.04.

    I would like to suggest that column labels follow the same alignment setting used for the column text.

    Currently, the right-click context menu for columns includes an “Align text” option. This affects the alignment of the text within the column, but the column header/label itself does not appear to follow that same alignment.

    For UI consistency, it would be helpful if the column label/header aligned the same way as the column contents. For example:

    If a column is set to left-align, the header should be left-aligned. If a column is set to center-align, the header should be centered. If a column is set to right-align, the header should be right-aligned.

    This may be a feature request, but it could also be considered a small UI bug, since the header visually feels like part of the same column alignment behavior.

    Thank you for considering it.

    Clementine, which Strawberry is based on has a useful feature which allows the player to be controlled remotely via a Android client app.

    I have a large music collection and when I play my collection on random and I don't like a song, there is no way in to control Strawberry remotely

    I have written a very basic enhancement which allows minimal remote control (Next, Previous, Pause, Play) of Strawberry via a remote client (Linux & Android)

    While the maintainer reviews my PR, you can try/test this enhancement

    You can access my repos via ssh

    my Strawberry fork: git@github.com:poldi171254/strawberry.git

    the Linux client: git@github.com:poldi171254/StrawberryRemote.git

    the Android client: git@github.com:poldi171254/Strawberry-Remote-Android.git

    I used Qt Creator 18.0.0 to build the Strawberry and the Linux client and Android Studio Narwhal to build the Android client

    I didn't see any requests for it in Crowdin, but I've added them now so they should be available right now.

    The played track history (clicking previous track button) will reset if you stop playback, or do you mean it's resetting while still playing?

    Hi all, I searched the forums, but couldn't find a match.

    First off, I'm running Debian 12.6 "Bookworm" KDE DE. In Strawberry, every time I select 'Show in file browser' in the context menu it opens up Easytag instead of the Dolphin file manager!

    Any reason why that would be?

    Thanks in advance!
