When a playlist, crate or other view has focus, the following controls for side pane don't work, unless library side pane is focused manually:

[Playlist],SelectNextPlaylist
[Playlist],SelectPrevPlaylist
[Playlist],SelectPlaylist
Probably other [Playlist] controls are affected as well.

On the other hand, when side pane has focus Track controls still work in track table:
[Playlist],SelectNextTrack
[Playlist],SelectPrevTrack
[Playlist],SelectTrackKnob

It was working until I recently switched from r6071 to r6109.

Update your mapping for the new [Library] COs:

introduced by #953

This means we broke backwards compatibility, so it's still a bug though.

Thank, that's a ton of new controls! nice.

This also means controller presets can be updated/reworked..

Is there a changelog somewhere? It's hard to track changed controls, new sin features, etc. so it would be very helpful to have one.

You can look at the changelog of the mixxxcontrols wiki page:
http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/mixxxcontrols?do=revisions

The changes should be summarized on the new upgrading mappings page:

Thanks for the report, it looks like it was only those controls that were affected. PR submitted:
#1137

@timrae Thanks for fixing. Though I already switched to the new COs in the meantime..
@be.ing Thanks for pointing me there. Going through the revisions would not be very obvious/easy for users switching to 2.1 alpha while controller presets are not updated, yet. http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/updating_controller_mappings is handy altough the COs in question are not listed yet.

@ronso0

Currently the best place to look for changes is the list of deprecated
controls:

Thanks again.

I really hope I'm not annoying here, when I propose another feature:
To extend the use of the new as well as the old COs, it would be very cool to have a 'feedback' CO like TreeViewHasFocus, TrackTableHasFocus, TreeItemIsCollapsed (or whatever is coming with the Library redesign in progress).

I currently use the new COs (especially fast scrolling is handy for long playlists/history), but I also sometimes use the mouse for overview waveform or whatever. After doing so, neither Tree nor Tracks have focus. A while after that -hands on the controller- I want to select and load a track from Tracks table, but would have to put focus back there manually.
I think, with the proposed COs it would be easy to create script solutions for various scenarios/flavours and for many different controller layouts.

Since this bug is fixed, please copy your request to a new bug.
Than we can track it separate.

For me it sounds more like a bug, and that should not bother the controller.
Does it also happen in the new library redesign branch?

Sorry for the delay.

I will test again as soon as the redesign is merged.
