Affected version

0.28.2

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Go to the settings menu

Expected behavior

I hope to find all the settings that relate to "does this thing continue to play back content, once I restart the device" at one place.

It is very understandable, why 'retain playback position' is currently in the history section.

Still, I want you to consider this (imho very common) thought pattern, from an UX perspective:

I want that the content that I play, retains the playback position, and doesn't just play it.

I find part of these settings in the audio/video settings, as I would expect it.

Another part is here:

It doesn't help, that the text of the last option shown here is straight up lying:

It doesn't decide if the playback is resumed, although it claims to do so.

At least that one is a bug, in my opinion. Again, I also understand why this option is in the history section.

I just think it still belongs into the audio/video category, grouped with these other options, shown in the top screenshot.

Thanks a lot for your attention! 🙂

Actual behavior

Its spread across different categories.

One option lies.

I can confirm that the playback doesn't continue from the position saved in the history even if both
settings mentioned above are on. This is on version 0.28.2 too. Worked fine in 0.28.0 if I remember correctly.

(Clicking on this video, for example, starts the video from the beginning.)

That would mean its a separate issue?

[kurkha]

Yeah, I'll make a separate one. EDIT: no need, the resume problem is already reported, see #13139

Solution: Have the option in both categories, and change the name to be more accurate (remove Resume playback, and just have the option name be the subtitle)

Problem solved.

@ShalokShalom Thoughts?

Well, I thought about having it in both categories, and I assumed you would be against that.
From my own personal perspective, yes, it can be done this way.

Being completely honest with you, I would remove the history and cache category altogether, and move its elements into other categories.
