window runs offscreen due to long title/album/artist combo in player

PS: Thanks for this otherwise beautifull layout for my favorite musicplayer!

thanks for reporting the bug, i had almost forgotten about it again.

unfortunately it's a tricky one to figure out, but i'll give it another shot (i already tried about half a year ago)!

Thanks for the quick response! Hope that you can find a fix...

Fixed it in commit cc2725d2e2d9ead2d272 in git (https://github.com/shimmerproject/gmusicbrowser/commit/cc2725d2e2d9ead2d2723067c0a0480a2902b45a), feel free to test and un/confirm it!

Hi,

Thanks you! That's great... I would be happy to test, but Im not sure how to
go about installing the patch from git... If you could give/point me to
brief howto I'll install and let you know.

Thanks again!!

Mark

the easiest way is to download the tarball (https://github.com/shimmerproject/gmusicbrowser/archives/master), extract it and then run "perl gmusicbrowser.pl" from the directory you extracted it to.

Just tested it and I can confirm it's fixed. Fantastic work, now I can start
using gmb on my netbook, where this bug was most troublesome.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Best, Mark

PS: Is there any way I could make a small donation to the project?

Great to hear that the fix works for you, marking as fixed then.

If you want to donate I'd direct you to the gmusicbrowser-project, since we're only doing UI changes and fix bugs, but the main development work happens there (it's a one-man project). Check www.gmusicbrowser.org
