Preview Build Discussion / Re: Bug when switching skins in Preview v1.99.11.18916

« on: May 04, 2024, 07:20:44 PM »

... when all of that got dropped I'd just not gotten around to implementing it since I'd not had to when the winamp core was able to handle the action for me. Is now sorted for the next build.

With all you do by yourself, it is quite understandable when some things fall thru the cracks. 

I'm still wondering why anyone would want to change the default skins folder. Although, at some point, someone will try to use any option that looks like it may be used.

Have added it to the todo list though I've not checked why it's not reacting like it should.

As far as I'm concerned, take your time. I have no need or desire to change the default skins folder.

I also should stop posting in preview build threads, since I don't use it. It's just that I look at all posts and sometimes what is reported for a preview also happens with a beta.

Sorry Darkhell, I'm not able to replicate your Bento skin switching issue. I can confirm that clicking the "Set skins directory..." button does nothing.

I can also confirm that the initial issue reported by wbpayne and MarkRH (which was also happening for me in the previous beta builds when switching to the base skin) is fixed in beta build #18980.

Skins / Waveform Seeker Plug-in colors

How do I control the foreground and background colors used by the Waveform Seeker plug-in when used with classic and modern skins?

I tag my songs the way MarkRH suggests. I also enable all the filter options on the Preferences Media Library-Local Library-Options tab, except the "Ignore the The ..." and "Use limited associative ..." options. This works pretty well for me.

Will add the request to refresh the existing history titles to the todo list.

Thank you.

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Re: ML History View Column Heading Change

« on: March 07, 2024, 04:41:17 PM »

"Playlist String" or something like that. I noticed this when I changed the PE ATF string I was using and saw that that column contents changed to match it. Older records used the previous PE ATF string. Not necessary, but would it be possible to add an option to update old records to match the active PE ATF string.

Since I'm using 3 different ATF strings in different places for the playing file, I've now changed the PE string to only show %title% and thus match the column heading in the history view.

Things could stay as they are, changes are not really necessary. Once I noticed this behavior and realized it wasn't an history view error in reading metadata, I decided to mention it.

Wishlist / Feature Requests / ML History View Column Heading Change

« on: March 07, 2024, 04:03:06 PM »

The column currently named "Title" in the history view doesn't display the file's title. It displays the playlist editor's string for the file that was played. I suggest the column's heading be changed to correctly indicate what is being displayed (or change the column's content to match it's heading).

Have you tried using the General - Album Art - Reading option in the Preferences to select how you want WACUP to read your album art?

Preview Build Discussion / Re: *** in Songticker

« on: February 29, 2024, 04:25:40 PM »

I don't use ratings, so I can't verify if the 'nice looking stars' are being used. I like all the songs in my library about the same or I won't put them in my library.

I like having the " *** " in the main player window, it lets me see at a glance when the songticker string is restarting. But I can understand the OP's issue, if it affects the rating indications for those who use them.

For now, users with this issue could simply not put the rating metadata at the start or end of their ATF string (to state the obvious).

Hi dro,

I'm using the beta builds instead of the public previews, but I think the OP is talking about the handling in the main player window for classic skins instead of the taskbar handling. The options you pointed to for the taskbar currently do work in my configuration, but there is no way to disable the " *** " when the default or a custom string is scrolling in the main player window for classic skins. As you know, the main player window in some modern skins do not follow the same behavior as classic skins and will do something different.

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Re: "Stop after track" option in playlist editor

You can also use the Playlist Separator plug-in (in_text.dll) to insert a stop separator in a playlist where you want playback to stop. After the plug-in is activated, a "Separator:" command is added to the playlist editor's context menu. This command has a sub-menu that lets you select the kind of separator to insert.

There is a "Stop after current" command. Look in the sub-menu for the main context menu Playback command or use the "Ctrl + V" keyboard hot keys.

This reminds me that there is no way to please everyone. 

As an older user, I like the blinking when I pause playback. Sometimes I get called away for whatever reason and sometimes I pause playback and sometimes I don't. When I return, the blinking reminds me that I paused playback and the lack of sound doesn't mean the app has stopped working.

Skins / Re: Defix - Yukon

« on: January 30, 2024, 04:14:16 AM »

Hi Denis,

I really like what you have so far. The color theme is easy on my old eyes.

I pray your life changes do not turn out as bad as you fear and you get the chance to finish this skin.

I don't have a 4K monitor yet (still using 1920 x 1080), so I down-scaled it to 50%. So far, it is performing as well as the other modern skins I'm using. I'll provide some specifics after I play with it for awhile.

@dro
Thank you for pointing out the download link. Don't understand how I missed it, when it was right in front of me.
