A new row, "Downloaded pictures and songs", shows how much space the cached
character pictures, covers and downloaded songs take, with a Clear cache
button. Clearing deletes them, but keeps the songs the current quiz uses,
the settings, config.ini and the saved quiz. The characters are loaded
again at once; covers come back when they are shown.

Cover menu in the soundtrack popup ("Change cover"):
- Choose picture uploads a JPEG, PNG or WebP picture (up to 10 MB).
- Pick by ID uses a game's cover on SteamGridDB or an anime's on AniList.
- Remove cover deletes it, so the server searches for a new one.
- The server's reason is shown when it refuses a change.
After a change the new cover time is fetched, and the popup, the
statistics card and the quiz show the new cover.
Quiz: once the answer is shown, the soundtrack's cover shows to the left of
the titles. Cover and titles are centered together, left and right and up
and down, and each title keeps to two lines. Cover times come from the
soundtrack list, and songs keep their soundtrack's UUID, also in saves.
Requests can now send any body with its content type, and every 2xx answer
counts as success. Cover frames are 2:3 like the server's covers. Small
copies of real covers are used by the tests and screenshots.

Covers: statistics cards show the soundtrack's cover on the left, and the
statistics popup shows it large. Until it arrives, and without a cover, the
soundtrack's initials stand in. Covers load only for cards on or near the
screen, three at a time, and are cached in covers/ next to the settings
(CoverCache), downloaded again only when cover_modified changes. The index and
file handling are shared with CharacterCache in a new FileCache.
Alternative names: the popup shows them and has an editor (add, remove, save)
that sends PUT /soundtracks/{uuid}/alternative-names. The statistics search and
the Search popup find soundtracks by them; Search shows the matching name after
the real one. Search now loads /soundtracks, falling back to the plain list.
The API types are regenerated from the server's spec, with a SoundtrackCover
theme style in every theme.

Popups fade in while growing and close the reverse way, with the backdrop
fading along. The winner gets confetti, bouncing pictures and a score graph
that draws itself from the left. Filtered statistics cards and search rows
fade in, the tabs slide in from their side, and every button bounces on hover
and click (ButtonBounce, now added to all buttons).
In the player list the score pops on every point, the first point flashes the
row, and a player on match point glows with a "Match point!" tag. A song
starting fades in the title, flashes its row (kept across list rebuilds) and
pops the play button.
Common/anim.gd holds the helpers. A saved "Reduce animations" switch in
Settings turns all movement off; the tests use it. The flash colours are
theme colours (Palette first_point, match_point, flash) in every theme.

The quiz is saved to current_quiz.json in the config folder after every
change, and the game goes on where it was when it starts again: the
players with their points and characters, every song with who got a point
for it and whether it was played, answered or is playing, and the songs
downloaded ahead with their files. The song that was playing is ready to
play again. Songs whose files are gone are downloaded again.
On a server, the saved songs are checked against the server's playlist. If
it changed, e.g. after a sync, or another server is used, the quiz starts
over with the same players. A quiz from a music folder continues offline,
including how far a prepared quiz has come. A new game is saved like any
other change, and a file that can't be read starts a new quiz.
Characters can be read from a folder picked in Settings instead of the
server, for this session. A music folder with a characters folder brings
its own characters, e.g. for a themed quiz; that folder is not counted as
a soundtrack. When the characters come from somewhere else, players pick
their characters again.
Closes#11, closes#44
Settings has a Music folder row. A folder with subfolders is played as
soundtracks: Next picks a random subfolder and a random song in it, the
subfolder is the answer's soundtrack and the file name without its type the
song. The inspiration list and Search show the subfolders.
A folder with songs and no subfolders is a prepared quiz, played once in order
(natural sort) or at random, showing only the song title. It has no winning
score: after the last song Next becomes Show winner, and the players with the
most points win, ties included.
While a folder is used nothing but the characters is asked from the server:
Sync, QR, Statistics, the update check and play counting are off. Characters
fall back to the cached pictures when the server can't be reached. mp3, ogg and
wav play; other files and broken ones are skipped.
The old local playback code, the hidden Open button and the hidden Local toggle
are removed. Next now waits for the song to start before preparing the next one.
The last version the About popup was shown for is saved as last_seen_version in
settings.cfg. When the game starts with another version, About opens to show
what is new.
At start and after switching server, the game asks the server for the newest
MusicPlayer release and shows "Version X is available" in the top bar when it
is newer than this one.
The settings the game saves itself, the quiz settings and now fullscreen, move
to settings.cfg (settings_debug.cfg in debug mode).
config.ini in the same folder is edited by hand: the server to start with, the
API password and debug mode. The game writes it with everything commented out
when it is missing and never changes it after that. IniFile reads it: plain
key = value lines, whole-line # or ; comments and optional quotes.
- A Quiz settings button under the player bar opens a small card above
it with the quiz settings, including Auto repeat, which moves there
from under the player bar. The card does not dim the quiz, so it can
be changed during a song, and grows to fit its rows.
- A Settings button in the top bar opens the application settings:
server, fullscreen and songs to download ahead. Quick sync is gone,
as the server no longer has it, and the server list is in Settings.
- Labels use sentence case, and seconds to hide show as whole numbers.
- Debug builds switch to the local server and a low winning score in
the Settings autoload, before any scene asks the server for anything.
The DEBUG label moves to the top bar, so it shows on every tab.
- Search moves from the top bar back to the quiz toolbar, as the
Statistics tab has its own search.
Part of #41. The top bar has Quiz and Statistics tabs instead of the
Statistics button. The Statistics tab replaces the quiz below the top bar
(the song keeps playing) and shows every soundtrack as a card with its
plays, last played date and most and least played songs, loaded from the
new GET /api/v1/statistics/soundtracks. The cards can be searched (with
the Search popup's matching, now in SoundtrackSearch), filtered on played
or never played, and sorted A-Z, Z-A, most or least played. Clicking a
card opens a popup with all its songs.
Screenshots of the other states only differ in the top bar, and the
layout baseline is taken again with the new statistics states.
