Stop-after-current improvemnts

I use Stop-after-current (SAC) quite a lot, so I have a global hotkey for it. Quite often I am not sure whether I have or have not enabled it already during a long track. Thus, a while ago I asked for a method to display the status of SAC, preferable through a title formatting variable.

The request for the variable has been rejected, but making SAC status more easily visible seems to be on the list of considered features. ("Visible indication of stop-after-current being enabled or not, without having to access the menus.")

It has been there for quite a while, so I would like to ask if there are any plans for actually implementing the feature.

Moreover, I recall that the feature would be implemented in a way that would require seeing the application window to find out what the SAC status is. I would strongly prefer the status to be visible when foobar window is minimized, either as a note in the window title (this is why I asked for a title formatting variable before), or by modifing the icon maybe.


If none of these is possible, I would like to ask for another, simpler (I think) solution, that would help me controlling foobar as I like it. Instead (or in addition to) the possibility of setting a hotkey for SAC toggle, could you add an option of having a separate hotkey for SAC on and SAC off?  Then, when I am unsure of the status of SAC, I could just set it to the status I want.
Ceterum censeo, there should be an "%is_stop_after_current%".

It is possible to add a "Stop after current" button in ColumnsUI button toolbar.
Add "Playback/Stop after current" to Current buttons in the button options.
This indicates status of "Stop after current".

I know, but: 1. It still requires looking at the application window, while I'd like to know the SAC status when fb2k is minimized. 2. I prefer DUI

Hello, I am new to this forum. My only issue with foobar2000 is that I don't have visual notification when I have activated a "Stop After Current" command.

In my use, I have playback follows cursor. It would be great to have the highlighted cursor able to change color to red when stop after current is selected.

This is a great player which has many uses for many different people. The development has been amazing.

Please add some form of visual notification that SAC is selected.
