Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
My preferred player - also an mpd client - is no longer developed. Swapping to MCG it looks great right off the bat, fits perfectly where previous player left off! However the ONE thing I'd always taken for granted was that album display is by "latest added" - meaning that new items don't just disappear into alphabet hell, but stay at the top. With larger collections I find this so desirable.
Would it be possible to implement this at all?
Hi @alan12345678, thanks for the request. First, I need to see if MPD provides this information. If it does, I can provide a sort option for it.
It looks like MPD provides the last modification date via [Other Metadata(https://mpd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/protocol.html#other-metadata).
ooh! So, does this means it's do-able? That's hugely cool if so 😄
Yes, it is doable.

@alan12345678, the sort option has been implemented on branch “issue-88-sort-by-modified”. Would you mind checking out that branch and testing if it works as expected?

Yes! Indeed it does 😄
I have a separate, prior issue which perhaps you'd be kind enough to help. I've asked on another forum but no replies thus far.
I run a fairly minimal environment, not via a DM. Arch + i3. No login manager, I log in at console, source .xinitrc and straight into i3, which starts a couple apps. My .xinitrc sets up just kbd, compton, policykit, feh and mpd, nothing else.
Every time I start mcg it has to rebuild the album list, and regenerate all the album art! Then, when loaded, most covers are simply the supplied placeholder graphic. A few random covers appear.
Terminal messages say this:
`(mcg:10741): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 19:46:27.578: gtk_window_add_accel_group: assertion 'GTK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed
(mcg:10741): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 19:46:52.523: g_settings_set_enum(): invalid enum value 3 for key 'sort-order' in schema 'xyz.suruatoel.mcg'. Doing nothing.

Should I have some other services running? I have the listed deps installed.
In fact I use a similar setup only that I use sway instead of i3. Do you get
TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable NoneType objectonly on the feature branch or also on the main branch/the released version 3.1?I get these errors on either version.
Last night I added both the gsettings-desktop-schema, and desktop-file-utils to the i3 startup, but no chamge. The database is recreated each time, and most album covers don't show up (not all, but most). Music plays fine, album listing all correct, but no art.
If it affects the released version, please create a separate issue. I am going to merge and release this new feature.
