Quodlibet: Perhaps move Advanced Preferences and Change Language to Preferences

[scootergrisen]

In Plugins i see two plugins that can't be disabled:
Advanced Preferences
Change Language

Perhaps better to have these things under File > Preferences.
Also the string "Change Language" does not appear to be translatable.

The advanced preferences plugin contains things which 99% of users should not change. Think "about:config" in firefox or similar. Not sure about the "Change language" plugin.. We've only had _one_ request for it over the time. If it turns out to be desired by more people we can move it.

Also the string "Change Language" does not appear to be translatable.

Did you run ./setup.py update_po?. That string was just added yesterday.

[scootergrisen]

Ok that might be way. No i have not run the update yet. I will try when i have translated all the strings.

Are we OK to close this issue then?

[scootergrisen]

I just don't see why there are two plugins that can't be disabled.
Are the thing about plugins not that they can be enabled/disabled (installed/removed)?
If they are on all the time and not possible to remove then i don't think its correct to call it a plugin.

I would move those things under File > Preferences.
But if you don't agree then yes this can be closed.

Hmm.. I kinda see the issue. It seems a bit weird that there's an always enabled plugin that's used for rare settings.

I guess it would be possible to add an Advanced tab to the Preferences, which contains a button with a warning (like in about:config): I accept the risk

It could then also include the language settings. (Removing these two from the plugins would also have the minor advantage of making some space. Although there are other ideas for making it look less crowded.)

I've updated the prefs themselves in 35060ccf3f5434d23cf53c87aec99fa88ff15011 and during / before / now, the more I use it, the more it seems that it belongs in the main prefs hidden perhaps like @CreamyCookie suggests (remembering Quod Libet's meaning... :wink: ), and like other apps often do.

Any more thoughts on this?
