[Feature Request]: multiple windows support

Open Bellisario opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Preflight Checklist

  • [X] I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
  • [X] I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

Currently the app seems not supporting multiple windows, but there is actually an "hidden" way of opening them, which is using the "middle-click" (pressing the scrollwhell) on a link.

This opens a new "instance" of YouTube Music.

Proposed Solution

There are two solutions:

  • allow and support multiple windows navigation, also proposing the user to open a new window on context menu
  • prevent opening a new window with "middle-click".

Alternatives Considered

This behavior has probably not been discovered by lots of users and the app seems to have no crash (but I didn't test extensions handling), so the current implementation can be considered sufficient.

Additional Information

It is also reproducible in 2.0.0-snapshot.

I also noticed this, as i'm used to doing this on normal youtube. Seems these new windows have no extensions (or at least no adblock) and cannot be closed. i'd assume they either need to have support or new windows should be denied. I am using YouTube Music v3.3.2.0.
