Continue playback of previewed files when opened in their respective program  
Written by jmmL the 8 Apr 08 at 17:10. Category: Multimedia. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
For example: i was just showing off my new install of Hardy (beta, obviously) to a windows user. I moused over a copy of Greensleeves (in mp3 format) on my desktop, and it started to play. I listened to it for 10 seconds or so, and then double-clicked it, expecting it to continue playback from 10 seconds into the track. However, it didn't, and i was thrown back to the beginning of the song.

I know it's only a small thing, but I can imagine it being fairly easy to implement, although i have no programming skills myself to do it. If it can't be enabled across all media players, then someone could at least get it working in the default install program, for example, rhythmbox.
