Latest WACUP public preview for x86 & x64 is build #21136 (March 9th 2025) (x86 & x64 changelogs)
Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #21254 (March 29th 2025) (x86 & x64 changelogs)


NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.

Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

When File Associations come..
« on: July 05, 2024, 02:53:51 AM »
Will you be returning the File Icon/Playlist icon menu? I really liked that I could actually change it. I've included a gif of what I mean.
also, not to be an arse, but is it just me or are the menus a biit bloated?
Overall, good program ;D! Just that 1 tiny thing and it'll be peak (at least for me), but I also understand that file icons aren't priority as it stands.
It can never be too crowded, come on, we still pickin' up some more!

Which menus are bloated or do you mean pref pages for menus ?

File association will be done when I get around to it. It's just not something that I'm offering in the current on-going beta / preview state even though it's already possible to manually associate things via the OS "open with" action or there's a tool by nirsoft that can do it iirc.

When ya click Rightclick, it seems to be with more padding than the normal Winamp app.

I know I can use Open With, but I didn't mean to ask about file association, a I know it will take time, rather about the file icons customization, which will probably take even LONGER...


But as I've said, it's a nitpick. Kudos to thee.

For the menus if you go to Preferences -> Appearance -> either un-check the option for skinned menus to be whatever the OS wants to do for them or un-check the common ui font option & pick a lower font size which can lessen their overall sizing & perceived padding due to things being based around the specified font information vs whatever OS text scaling aspects might also be getting involved with the rendering & is an intentional difference vs whatever winamp might've done as wacup is not winamp.

https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html is the tool I was trying to remember which'll allow you to do what's needed without having to wait for me to potentially never do it.

Thanks plenty!
