Little work for a lot less clicking

[EmperorEarth]

CPod version: CPod v1.26.1

Description: Thank you for such a beautiful, functional podcast desktop program!

In the current version we can customize our individual listening sessions. However, most listening sessions are predictably simple: listen to unlistened-to episodes of either all our subscribed podcasts or one podcast in particular. I think there are a few changes that can reduce by 90+% the # of clicks for the typical usecases to make your program even better.

A few ideas sorted by effect divided by effort:

• On an empty-queue, [Play] will auto-generate a playlist of unlistened-to episodes of subscribed podcasts
  • #84 goes into this partially
• Clear queue button
• ~~Integration with keyboard media keys for playback control with program in background~~
• [Play] button on a Podcasts' Details view that will auto-generate a queue of unlistened-to episodes for that podcast for binging
• Sorting for auto-generated queues
  • Newest->Oldest
  • Oldest -> Newest
  • Most listened to
  • Most listened to relative to subscriber count
• Podcast groups, i.e. a "Javascript Podcasts" group
  • On the podcast group view, be able to click [Play] and auto-generate a queue of unlistened-to episodes of podcasts in podcast group
• ~~Empty search result for empty search results--instead of showing suggested podcasts~~ ~~Make unfocused suggested podcasts be fixed position or make the search results pane have a larger min-height to make empty search results more obvious, i.e. ensure that suggestions don't position themselves where the top search results would normally show up~~
• ~~Mouseover overlay/highlight with Subscribe/View details button on Podcast icon in Search results~~
  • ~~Current subscribe button in tooltip has too low of a tolerance for mouse errors. Particularly true for long podcast titles~~
• Queue history
• Trending podcast episode/podcast list
• ~~Minimize to taskbar~~
• Podcast suggestions more reflection of Subscriptions/Searches
• Multiple profiles

Hey there, thanks for the great suggestions. These are all really good so I'll probably work towards getting them all implemented. I'll split this up into separate issues for easier progress tracking on my end.

I'm a little unclear about what you mean by "Empty search result for empty search results" -- currently a "No results" message does display when the search returns nothing.

You're right! Sorry, I see it now. Maybe this instead:

• Suggested podcasts aren't "fixed position" and the "No search results" div min-height is short so the suggestions reposition themselves where the search results would normally be.

Adjusted OP to account for this.

@EmperorEarth Thanks for the clarification. Solved in 6b09f1c8ef69dc94663a0f4dba26088486ceae09.
