Winamp Cloud Beta FAQ

ryerman: there is a cloud-specific right-click menu in the library and also in the cloud sources views - though in most cases it only deals with the item which has the selection mark instead of the whole selection (that will hopefully be resolved at a later date - speed issues prevent that at the moment).

additionally the send-to menu is present for cloud sources and that is generally able to do batch actions for sending to a cloud source (even from within the library views) as that just dumps a list of files to the cloud plug-in which then deals with things after the selection instead of before the selection (which is part of the speed issue with doing multiple aspects on the cloud specific right-click / icon menu).

i'm not going to get any further into what the icons should / shouldn't be doing as i've already said this is how i've been told to code things, i've explained what the meaning of the icons is and unless it is determined it needs to be altered, i'm not making any changes and the local library views will be using the logic described as is also used in the cloud source views and in WAFA (since the whole point is being consistent across all of the Winamp devices for this).
