The command view is located at the bottom of Jajuk window. It is a static view that is always visible in all perspectives. It is used to control the player and start smart functions.
The search box
The search box can be used to find any file, track, genre, artist, album... for a given text. A result popup appears. Then launch the track by clicking on the list: the track will be played immediately.
The history bar
The history bar shows all tracks you played (can be cleared and configured in the view preferences). Click on one track to launch it again. Note that tracks in the history bar may be on devices that are no more mounted. In this case, Jajuk will ask you to mount them if available.
Modes
Modes set the player behavior when selected before and during the play. All combinations of modes are allowed. Note that you can see which tracks are repeated thanks special icons in the [view_playlist_editor.html playlist editor view].
-
Repeat mode [default=off]): When checked, next launched selection will be played in a loop. If it is checked during a play, only current track will repeat.
-
Shuffle mode [default=off]: When checked, next launched selection will be played randomly. If it is checked during a play, current selection will randomize.
-
Continue mode [default=on]: When checked, player will not stop when selection is played but will continue to play next albums or tracks.
-
Intro mode [default=off]: When checked, only a part of each track will be played (begin position and play time can bet set in the Parameter view/Options tab)
