Wishlist / Feature Requests / shared library accross computers

« on: November 16, 2021, 08:41:02 AM »

Hi,

I use several computers at home, and my music is on a server, which I access through mapped drives (using the same letter on every computer). Which would be useful for me is the ability to share media library. More precisely, I would like to share both smart views and playlists, so that if I add a song in a playlist from one computer (or change the query of a smart view), the change is automatically applied to every computer.

I tried to use portable WACUP on a shared directory, but this solution has two drawbacks:
- it's very slow! loading WACUP from network drive makes it quite unresponsive
- the whole WACUP setup is shared, which doesn't work well since different computers use different resolutions (and thus different skins)

I guess my case is very specific, but maybe something can be done...

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Artwork : Display front cover instead of first image

« on: January 04, 2021, 10:51:42 PM »

Hi,

I noticed that the album art displayed in modern skin (I don't know about classic) is the first image that is embedded, even if it's not the front cover. It would make sense that the front cover is displayed, whatever position it is at.

And I still hope someday for some way of navigating between all the art embedded in a song, but thats another point...

General Discussion / plugin development ressources

« on: December 29, 2019, 11:33:46 AM »

Hi,

I plan on developping a winamp plugin, and found this resource:
http://wiki.winamp.com/wiki/Plug-in_Developer

Is it up to date?
And do you know any forum where I could get some help? I'm new to win32 dev, and I guess it will be hard at the beginnning...

Thanks!

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Change icon of smart views

« on: November 25, 2017, 02:49:17 PM »

Hi DrO,

another idea. What about changing the icon of a smart view. That can already be done to a certain expanse, by loading a preset and then modify the request, but this approach is very limited, and not very easy to use. Why not adding a whole set of icons, and the possibility to explicitly choose from this set? I know I would use this feature. You could also add the possibility to select external icon.

And even better if it could be done for playlists too!

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Playlist ordering in ML

« on: November 18, 2017, 12:02:53 PM »

Hi DrO,

IMHO the new way of managing playlists in the ML is a good idea, it take advantage of horizontal space better than the other one. There's one thing, though, that it's lacking. Playlists order can't be changed anymore, except by clicking in the columns headers. I like to order my playlists in a specific way (genre playlists first, then best of, and misc at the end). It would be cool if ordering could be changed by drag-and-drop.
Also, do you plan to add columns selection ?

Thks!

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Art Navigator

« on: November 12, 2017, 10:09:52 PM »

Hi DrO,

first, I'm not sure you got my message about beta testing. I can't see it in my message box...

My idea is close to the ultimate "playing now" I've already seen on this forum. What about having a way to navigate through all the art embedded  in a file, not only the cover ? I like to have, when possible, all the scans from an album (Qobuz, for example, often provides it), but in Winamp, I can only enjoy the cover. WHat about a plugin that, when double clicking on the cover art , opens an art navigator in which one could swipe from one image to the others. Even better, have all the images arranged depending on their tag, with the box and the inner book (not sure I'm clear enough...)

Anyway, thanks for the great work!
