Im often editing Touch Bar groups and do like the View Option - Emulate Selected App as Active. But as you know, that feature/option doesn't work very well. I find myself having to de-select and re-select that option to re-gain the view. Would be nice to have a button (like preview EYE) on the main UI to toggle this feature on/off. ---

As a temporary solution, there is a touchbar preset that offers this button (that also shows you wether it's active or not) ---

Cant see how a Touch Bar button would work for this. ---

New Music Playing Status Added a better second line when music was paused. I think it's nicer if the song's title doesn't "jump around" in the widget. Also updated added some script to update the song and cover as soon as one of the widgets is triggered. play_button Configuration support [Download it from the Updates Section at the end of the initial Post!](https://community.folivora.ai/t/caliguvara-c3-anki-flashcards-pomodoro-airplay-audio-and-much-more/6996) 3.

Thanks for this. I have this in the BTT application menu/Touch Bar now. My issue is more related to the bug where BTT doesn't respect that I have this option activated and stops showing the menu bar I am editing unless I uncheck and recheck it. This will help with that process. ---

Still having issues with this feature. Its inconsistent, doesn't work with groups, but often fails with specific application "folders" as well. Not a big issue, but would be nice if it worked with group folders and didn't require disable/enable so often.
