[Bug 329389] Re: "Party mode" ununderstandable and undocumented

 

In the manual the Key Shortcuts  says F11 is for Full screen, but there
is no entry in the manual like the above patch submitted by Mr. Paul.
Searching for 'Party Mode' produces no results.  It might be nice is
party mode came with visualizations, too.

Title:
  "Party mode" ununderstandable and undocumented

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Confirmed
Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application:
  New
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rhythmbox

  The manual does not explain what "party mode" is.  The status bar help
  text is not helpful at all; when you hover the cursor over the Party
  Mode menu entry, it laconically says "Change the status of the party
  mode".  (Is that even English?)

  I was scared that it would ruin all my playlists and send my email
  address to the spammers, but I tried it anyway.  It seems to toggle a
  full-screen view.  Then why is it not called "Full Screen"?  Does it
  do something more?

  The top Google hit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=694932
  seems inconclusive to me.  Does Party mode involve changes in how the
  play queue can be manipulated and/or how the computer can be used?

  Minimal fix:
   * Describe Party Mode in the on-line help

  Bonus points:
   * Improve the Status bar help text
