Add hotcue #1 to track load point options

[ronso0]

Feature Description

I remember this has been requested before, and now again on the forums https://mixxx.discourse.group/t/newbie-to-mixxx-help-please/28933

Should be easy to implement.

Using hot cue 1 as load cue seems to be a good idea. At least we will not have mapping issues.

The main issue is the transition. If you have a library with many track, many will not have a hot cue 1 at a load position. So I think it needs a track by track decision.

How about setting an option in the deck preferences that newly set hot cue 1, become a load cue?

[ronso0]

I'd expect that option to be simple: choose 'Hotcue #1' and make sure tracks have that set.
If not, use track start as fallback, like the other options.

Just my 2 cents, I'm only relaying the request from the forums.

The user is coming form Serato. How do they handle that? Do we have to respect something in the Serato Metadata?

@Holzhaus Reading trough our Serato cue code it looks like we do not import a load cue. Does Serato have that?

It has a temp cue, but it's not saved in the metadata as far as I know.

This is in line with the documentation on "Temporary Cues":

The temp cue function allows you to set a temporary cue point in a track that is not saved to the file. This is useful for finding a point in a track and then being able to easily start again from this point as you get your mix right. By default, this is set to the beginning of the audio file.
