v0.7.2 — 2026-06-10

Turning off Verbose Config now trims config.toml down to only your non-default settings and view sorts.
Playlist and genre rows, plus the queue’s “Playing From” strip, now show a 2x2 collage of up to four album covers.

Playing an empty album, artist, genre, or playlist now reports which kind of item was empty instead of a generic message.
The Settings view rebuilds its entries only when a setting changes, instead of re-reading config files every frame.

Restoring the metadata strip’s Field Separator to its default now gives Slash, not a middle dot.
Album and song lists no longer draw the date, year, duration, or genre sort column larger than the rest of the row.

The Theme tab no longer offers the background “level4” and foreground “gray” colors, which never affected any rendered surface.

Settings search maps synonyms, so terms like “loudness”, “systray”, or “dark mode” jump to the matching setting.
Hotkey settings are searchable by their key binding: type “ctrl” or “space” to find the shortcuts bound to them.

Settings search is now fuzzy and typo-tolerant, ranks results by relevance, and highlights matched characters.

High-sample-rate tracks (96 kHz and up) no longer stutter or repeatedly pause mid-playback.

New nokkvi status command prints the current playback state, track, volume, and shuffle/repeat/consume modes as JSON.
New nav-up, nav-down, enter, and selection CLI commands move the slot-list selection, activate the centered item, and read it.
New nokkvi add-to-queue command enqueues the focused list item (the Shift+A hotkey) and reports what it added.
New nokkvi remove-from-queue command removes the centered queue song (the Ctrl+D hotkey) and reports what it removed.
MiniPlayer mode gains a “Visible Controls” setting to hide its volume slider and mode menu independently.
New “Auto-hide Toolbar” setting collapses the sort and search bar to give the list more room, revealing it on hover or a sort/search shortcut.
The auto-hide toolbar’s “Collapsed appearance” shows a thin hairline, nothing, or a slim strip with the current sort, item count, and duration.

The nokkvi command-line verbs now print a JSON result instead of nothing, so toggles like nokkvi consume confirm their new state in the shell.
nokkvi rate and nokkvi love now show an in-window toast confirming the change, like the in-app rating and star hotkeys.
MiniPlayer mode is redesigned with a full-width progress bar across the top, showing elapsed and total time alongside the track’s format and bitrate.
On wider windows, MiniPlayer mode now centers the transport controls, with metadata on the left and volume and mode controls on the right.
The player bar now uses a 3-button transport set (previous / play-pause / next) in every layout.

Pressing Previous while Shuffle and Consume are both on is now blocked with an explanatory toast, instead of stranding an unplayed track.

The dedicated Stop button is gone from the player bar, but Stop remains available via media keys and the nokkvi stop command.
