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

I'm using v1.99.12.18980 x86 too, currently for troubleshoot purposes i've renamed the WACUP folder that is created in "C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming" su when open wacup again a new WACUP folder is created there with all default settings, so no custom skin path, just the default one with the skins that comes with wacup; respect to the file/folder name, the next letters that work (behavior is a little different depending on if is a folder or a file) are, for 2nd letter a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h (i, j, k, etc appear to not trigger the problem) ;for 3rd one i'm not really sure (maybe 3rd, 4th,.. letters are not really relevant), but for example:

If i put a file "bet.txt" then can't load big bento, if rename the file to "bat.txt" then big bento works and now bento doesn't load.

If i put 2 files at the same time, "bat" and "bet", then can't load bento neither big bento

Respect to the .ini file i mean the "winamp.ini" on "C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\WACUP", the line "skin=" points to the applied skin, if bento is selected then the ini shows "Skin=Bento", if i trigger the problem with file "bat.txt" then wacup writes the value of skin as trigger file/folder name, in this case bat.txt so in ini it looks as "skin=bat.txt"; as far as i've observed studio.xnf data is irrelevant for this bug

i attach my ini file; just in case, i'm on win11 23H2 build 22631.327 with latest .NET Framework 3.5 y 4.8.1 para Windows 11, version 23H2 para x64 (KB5036620)

I can confirm that clicking the "Set skins directory..." button does nothing.

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

As for darkhell's reply, I'd need confirmation whether it's happening with 18980 or not as I can't get that failure to occur & only can with the older 18916 build which was the one out when this thread was started.

Hi, after a lot of trial and error  i've found how to trigger the problem respect to the skin that doesn't load , how it triggers is really weird tbh  , for some reason (idk how to describe exactly), if there is a folder or a file in the root of the skin folder with names that start with "a" or "b", depending on the following 2 or 3 letters that accompany them, it affects the load of Bento and/or Big Bento, iv'e recorded a little example, in the video u can see how it changes the .ini file too:

Respect to the ability to change the skin folder, well, is useful if u have a skin collection and don't want to move to the installation folder to be able to use them

There'll be a fixed build in the day or so. The problem has existed for a couple of years in my code & despite it not having been changed for the new build (haven't gone back & checked other recent beta builds) it seems to be manifesting in a more consistent manner if going to the base skin is involved as part of the chain of switching attempts.

Hello, fisrt of all thanks for your great work.

Related to the skin problem i'm suffering something similar (i guess  ), in my case it only happen with Bento skin, if i change to any skin and try to go back to Bento using the skin list from right click menu it just switch to classic skin, the only way to go to bento again is opening preferences window and select bento on the skin section.

Another thing that i noticed is that i can't change the skin directory, the "Set skins directory..." button doesn't do anything, is not grayed out, it just do nothing when is pressed, tried runing wacup as admin just in case but the problem persist.

Thanks again for all your work, have a nice day
