Latest WACUP public preview for x86 & x64 is build #21136 (March 9th 2025) (x86 & x64 changelogs)
Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #21136 (March 9th 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 I said I disable all streaming features, I mean all outbound features (for broadcasting). I do leave enabled the ability to receive internet radio stations. I also leave the ability to play commercial and homemade CDs along with the input plug-ins for 4 audio file formats.

This is a late reply but in case someone gets here searching the topic, I post what was my eperience.
I use the modern skin. I use a notebook. Somteimes I connect a second monitor. Last time I used Wacup I had it docked on the right side of the second monitor. When I restarted the notebook without the additional monitor, I was unable to recover the wacup window to the only monitor I had in that moment. I tried /RESETCLASSICSKINPOS and /RESETMODERNSKINPOS  but no luck.

I was able to recover the situation by shutting down wacup using the taskbar or the process manager, than delete the studio.xnf file in Settings. Note that the first time I restarted Wacup, I was not able to press any menu in it. Rstarting a second time solved this issue too.

For who is interested, it seems that the rect and restoredrect settings inside studio.xnf are involved.

HTH, thx for Wacup!!

Both of those command-line actions require WACUP to not be running with the /RESETMODERNSKINPOS action removing the studio.xnf file.

I confirm WACUP was not running when I tried these command line switches. I retried now, and the studio.xnf file is still there.
For reference, I'm using tha latest stable version (September 28 2024) installed as portable. I also tried to cd to the Wacup directory prior to using the command line options.

/RESETMODERNSKINPOS isn't in that public preview build which'd explain why it's not working.

A-ha, it would be nice to be able to access the beta build, or not to find documentation about it released in the wild as long as that version is'nt available ;D
Anyway anyhow, my suggestion posted above (manually delete that file) still works, in the current publicly available version.
Thank you for Wacup:)

The beta with it isn't fit for wider consumption which is why it's not been uprated to be released as a newer public preview build. I don't remember mentioning that command line option outside of what was noted in the beta specific changelog / discord conversation that led to it & yes it does the same thing for now. However the intent is to potentially have it modify the file as needed instead of using the old winamp mindset of wiping config files when things go wrong instead of trying to get to the bottom of the issue which sucks for modern skins when you lose all of their customisations removing that file.

Hi dro,

Thank you for having the beta version of WACUP now make backups of the studio.xnf file. I had been making manual backups from time to time. It is better to have a backup automatically made each time WACUP is ran.
