Request: Disable delete button (optionally)

Open ghost opened this issue 9 months ago • 1 comments

JustPlayer works really well with the storage access framework and I can play videos from cloud storage using RSAF without long delays. Also I like JustPlayer exactly for what is. So I was a bit suprised to see a bug delete (trash) icon next to the pause button. Admittedly, it's one of the first things I used: I deleted some unnecessary test video. However, I don't really like that this button is so prominently displayed. It looks like a accident waiting to happen. I also tried NextPlayer which is more customizable as you wrote in another issue and it doesn't have this big delete button. So considering JustPlayer wants to be just a player I would suggest to hide the delete button (optionally). It's great if you're using it to clean up your library but it could be quite terrible if you just want play your videos but fail to lock the device before putting it in your pocket.

Hi, I just wanted to chime in and say I completely agree with this suggestion. I'm here to ask for the same thing.

Just (Video) Player is excellent because it focuses on being a clean, minimal video player. Tasks like deleting files feel more appropriate for a file manager or gallery app, not something meant purely for playback. Having a delete button so prominently placed next to the pause button makes accidental taps more likely, especially when handling the device quickly or on the go.

I think keeping Just (Video) Player focused on playback without overlapping into file management would preserve its simplicity and avoid potential mishaps.

Thanks for considering this!
