10. In the fullscreen mode, any change of layout (like hiding the left or right sidebar), results in a black bar in the top ~10% of screen.
11. Add Location\Network in the Add/Rescan dialog results in an empty dialog. I'm not sure, can this be split as it currently is, or do we need to merge Local and Network nodes for Mac?
12. Touchbar used on volume or seekbar results in opposite than expected movement. Not sure if this is specific for Mac.
13. Crash on scan/playback (log provided).
14. Subsequent crashes on start (log provided).

10. Currently, there's a small cutoff at the top, even without going to the fullscreen mode.
       (Seen only once, seems to be resolved now)

15. Sub-skin options don't have any effect (e.g. Material Design skin color can't be changed to another color in Options)
    Edit: Fixed by deletion of precompiled skin.
16. Hotkeys implementation isn't perfect yet, e.g.:
   a. Space doesn't have any effect (pause/play)
   b. Cmd+P doesn't start playback, instead it (both) starts search and opens Properties dialog(!)
17. Play/Pause usually results in 1-3s UI unresponsiveness. App restart seems to modify the behavior somewhat, but it's usually there. Seems to be a regression. (Btw, opening of dialogs also feels somewhat slower than the previous versions. The same for the pop-up menu - it opens quickly, but when I select an action, it takes ~1sec to close the menu).
18. Menu bar in the fullscreen mode is black and so is the Help icon - i.e. invisible.

16. Can't this work as in the Windows version? I.e. not working while editing any text field. Not a big deal, just would be nice.
20. Few more hotkeys issues:
  a. Mute key works, but isn't reflected in MM UI. Unlike Volume Up/Down, which work fine.
  b. Ctrl+Alt+5 (5 stars rating) doesn't work. Also 1 or 3 stars don't, while 2 or 4 do work!?
21. Esc doesn't close Options dialog (I think that this might be also MMW issue).
22. Find more from same Folder doesn't work (neither of the 3 variants). Not sure if it's related to the fact the my tracks are scanned from a NAS?

23. Add Music and Movies (or directly Home folder?) to be accessible from MM interface (Folders node, dialogs, etc.). Atm, one has to navigate the whole folder structure from the root folder.

24) Installer:
a) 'Destination Select' should be removed from the installer, since it's out of order and since it doesn't seem to serve any purpose.
b) 'Installation type' doesn't seem to serve any purpose ('customize' doesn't do anything)
c) The product is currently identified as MediaMonkey_MAC (in Login items and extensions, and perhaps elsewhere). It should just be identified as MediaMonkey
d) The developer is currently from 'unidentified developer' (in Login items and extensions, and perhaps elsewhere). It should be from 'Ventis Media, Inc.' (or presumably as nothing once it's identified as something).

25) Wizard
a) Mention of Windows should be removed. e.g.
Add Windows firewall exception
Note: this should be done in such a way that strings can apply cross-OS.
b) Options to purchase a license key should be removed OR otherwise dealt with (since purchased keys won't work). Perhaps the best approach would be to leave it unlocked for now?

26) Scanning
a) During initial scan and subsequent file monitoring a message appears "WMA is not supported. The codec must first be installed [Ignore] [Ignore to all]". Unclear why this keeps appearing! It should only appear on playback?
b) numerous AVs on initial scan (for WMA/M4A files). See error log.
c) Failure to scan mkv files

27) Playback
a) alac files fail to play / no error
b) sample wav files fail to play / no error
c) attempts to play mp4 videos don't work and cause the UI to become corrupted (2 players appear one at the top and one at the bottom!)
d) Attempt to load an equalizer preset fails. This should be changed in MMW and MMMac (it shouldn't be loaded from a file).
e) After attempting to load an equalizer preset, and closing the finder dialog, portions of the MMM ui become blacked out.

28) Google casting doesn't work (doesn't even display cast targets)

29) Recursive folders toggle works, but the icon doesn't switch modes

30) Auto-tag:
a) Auto-tag default column order is a bit off: the first two columns after Artwork and Summary are Track# and Disc# & Album Artist appears after Date.
b) UI doesn't respond correctly if the user changes the looked up metadata (e.g. change Album from Album 1 to Album 2 --> focus is stuck on Album 2 (i.e. the change isn't committed) until another track is selected)
c) Disc# is often set to 0 or 1 instead of blank

31) Window Management
a) MMM doesn't minimize the way other Mac apps do. Instead it closes. [Edit: this is relatively minor, though uncommon on MacOS apps]
b) MediaMonkey menu should minimally contain: About, Settings (Options), Quit MediaMonkey. It should also probably contain: Get MediaMonkey Gold, Register MediaMonkey Gold license
c) No miniplayer
d) The MM window wastes vertical space with the 'MediaMonkey 2026' Title Bar. The title bar should be eliminated and the Close/Minimize/Maximize buttons moved to the row below.
e) Tabs aren't supported?

32) General:
a) Synced lyrics is included. Is that intentional? i.e. is this going to be shared as an MM 2026 build?
b) What is the process for debugging MMM builds? i.e. is there an equivalent to debgview?
c) How does updates/version checks work?
d) Only English is supported

33) Commands
a) Context commands aren't supported for tree nodes
b) Context commands often disappear when the mouse button is released. e.g.
 1 Press CTRL + Click mouse on track --> context menu appears
 2 Release mouse button --> context menu disappears
