Display the total running time of playlists

Thank you for your bug report.

This bug is similar to:
Bug #991938 Wishlist: Number of tracks in a list next to list name Edit

This sounds like something for the Status/Progress - Bar
in https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/986704

How about a 1.12.0 band-aid that shows the time when you hover on the playlist name in the sidebar?

Fine!

Would this work for a manual playlist you put into Auto DJ as well? So if you hover on Auto DJ it will tell you the total running time of all the songs currently in there? That's more in line with what I was looking for. I manually build playlists to finish a DJ session and need them to fill 20 or 30 minutes of time sometimes and would like to know that I have the total time covered. Thank you!

band-aid: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/commit/b4f1674374bb17f6c966aa6b1599ae575cfedb5e

Forgive me for a naive question.....when I click on this link it takes me to a bunch of code. Is this code I could take and put into the Mixx software myself if I knew what I was doing?
If I don't know how to do this do I just wait for the next release (if this code would indeed be included in that).
Thank you!

That link is to a change that has been applied to trunk. You can either wait until the next release or try to build Mixxx from the git sourcecode. We will be releasing a beta Real Soon Now so it might just be easier to wait.

@Troy - you can find compile guides for Windows Mac and Linux on our wiki:

I think the band-aid (showing total time in the sidebar) ended up being good enough (I think this bug was more about showing the total time in the main table view and we don't really have the vertical space for that)

Mixxx now uses GitHub for bug tracking. This bug has been migrated to:
