Fastpotify Files

0.6.0 teaches Fastpotify to open Spotify links, makes playlist edits immediate, and brings a fresh round of platform and playback fixes. The macOS build is not notarized yet. Follow the first-open steps on the download page.

New

• Spotify links open in Fastpotify by @crmne. A song, album, artist, playlist, or podcast shared from another app opens in the running window, or starts Fastpotify when it is closed.
• The playing song can be dragged into a playlist by @crmne. Drop the cover or title from the player bar onto an editable playlist in the sidebar.
• Playlists shared by invitation take songs too by @crmne, when Spotify says the listener may edit them.

Fixed

• Playlist edits stay on screen while Spotify catches up. Adding, removing, and reordering songs update immediately, keep the cached playlist, and no longer reload the library. By @crmne; thanks @LittleDeng1. (#269)
• Adding a duplicate asks first and names the song. By @crmne; thanks @Ashur-D. (#115)
• Large playlists resume from cached progress instead of downloading from the beginning again. By @crmne; thanks @miltieIV2. (#259)
• Playlist folders remain visible across restarts and while local playback is temporarily unavailable. By @crmne; thanks @jorisw. (#175)
• Playing and Liked Songs markers stay put while Spotify catches up, including when Spotify uses a market-specific ID for the same recording. By @crmne.
• The Windows build no longer needs a separately installed Visual C++ runtime. By @crmne; thanks @AlvaroB15. (#263)
• The Winamp mini player's Always on top setting works immediately, including on X11. By @achton. (#232)
• The main window keeps its size and position after returning from Winamp. By @kveld9; thanks @Bluezerg44. (#136, [#260])
• Library search is ready for typing as soon as it opens. By @kveld9; thanks @jorisw. (#178, [#261])
• Interface Zoom reads minus, percentage, plus. By @sanketttt26; thanks @stellarpartners. (#227, [#256])
• Local playback starts again when a reconnected Spotify session comes back inactive. By @crmne; thanks @marijnbent, @conscientiousness, and @bakzkndd. (#25)
• The AUR source package declares CMake and Clang as build dependencies. By @crmne; thanks @BarbUk. (#226)
• Severely rate-limited shared requests point to the personal Spotify app setup. By @crmne.

Thanks
