What's the status of previous button?

[Artur R. Czechowski]

Hello,

There is a bug in Debian BTS asking for "previous" button skipping for
previously played song. At the bottom of
http://www.luminal.org/wiki/index.php/IMMS/WishList
there is note about the case but it says nothing if the problem is fixed
or not. I also noticed that in imms 3.1.0-rc4 it skips to random song.
Could it be fixed? If not - what's the reason for it?

Best regards
Artur

Just FYI - Debian bug is reported here:

Hey,

The problem here is really with the player. Audacious does not maintain history for queued songs, so if you hit back after a queued song, it takes you back to the last song in the shuffle order, not the last song you were actually at. This is arguably wrong behaviour, but unfortunately, there isn't much IMMS can do to work around it. You could try filing a bug with the Audacious developers, and see if they are willing to fix it.

Have fun,
Michael.

Kindly thanks for your answer. Have you look into a case mentioned
in another thread[1]?
