Preview Build Discussion / Re: Skin defect since about 3 updates ago

It was not a permanent fix at all: the black box playlist issue appears once, then after relaunch of Wacup it's normal again... Odd...
I also noticed that on first launch after Windows boot, for a splitsecond I see the playlist items in their black box in the middle of the screen before the Wacup's playlist window appears.
Like Wacup can't fully initialize something on first try or something?

Skins / Re: Big Bento Modern v1.2

« Last post by VulgarAscetic on May 21, 2026, 12:44:55 PM »

Additionally (sorry for double post) I have a feature request which I'm not sure shoudl go in this thread or general WACUP feature requests.

It would be good to have a permanent "X" button to clear the search filter even when the search filter is empty, as in 5.666 I would frequently use this button to quickly defauly my library view to the top of the list. Currently, the "X" only appears if a search filter has been filled out, which is not always the use case.

Got a feature request for this: would it be possible to have an option to always display the volume slider and mute button? Currently they are hidden behind clicking the volume button, which is weird UX for such a crucial control. I'd expect an instant mute when I click the volume button, and I'd also expect the volume slider to be always visible in a prominent location.

Additionally, the UX of clicking volume to turn mute visible, and then having the mute button appear some distance to the left, is also awkward.

Thank you for all the work on this great skin

Preview Build Discussion / Re: [Bug] Library refreshes to default view after user has scrolled downwards

« Last post by VulgarAscetic on May 21, 2026, 12:38:14 PM »

Tried to repro, it seemed to coincide with a track finishing and moving to the next in the playlist, which occurred about 63 seconds after scrolling down the library.

Tried the same repro again after manually playing a song from the playlist which meant my mouse cursor was no longer focused over the library view, and the the bug did not reproduce, so there's a few variables and red herrings in this one right now

Preview Build Discussion / [Bug] Library refreshes to default view after user has scrolled downwards

« Last post by VulgarAscetic on May 21, 2026, 12:33:37 PM »

When viewing your library, if you scroll downwards some arbitrary amount and then leave WACUP idle for some indeterminate time, the library will "auto-refresh" and revert the view back to the top of the list. Unsure how much exact time this takes, but it's not long, maybe in the realm of 30-ish seconds.

Repro steps:

• Open library
• Ensure search is empty so view is at default
• Scroll down through your library
• Stop at a random location
• Wait, and observe WACUP

Result: Library will revert view back to the top of the list after some time

Preview Build Discussion / Re: [Bug] Edited metadata regresses to previous values, "update file tags" fails

« Last post by VulgarAscetic on May 21, 2026, 12:29:24 PM »

Thanks for the clarification and once again thanks for all of your work!

Thinking out loud here, but I had an issue with external tagging tools (specifically Mp3tag) having the same ambiguous failure of "can't write to file" until I realised I needed to run it as an administrator, and now it will write correctly.

I wonder if the old x86 plugin is failing for a similar reason? But I don't recall it being an issue with 5.666 so could easily be some other bug/regression that has appeared since.

Seeing "Test_file" without extension is what it used to show which, personally I don't care if extension is shown or not.

Hi Dro,

you're right - everythink comes with proper and acurate tag data. I was just surprised about various album entries on the same artist. If you consider a CD sampler with 40 songs and artists you'll get 40 albums. That's a bit weard.

Anyhow, now it's clear. I could even identify wrong information in my library and corrected it.

Thank you.
Cheers

General Discussion / Media Library Columns in Smart views

« Last post by MarcoDiGenova on May 21, 2026, 08:47:19 AM »

Hi everybody,

I use a lot "smart views" and I would like to know if it exists a "tip" in order to "copy" the columns order of a smart view to another one in order to have the same columns in the same order (For now, each time I create a new smart view, i have to right clic, Edit Columns and clic to show or not show each column then order the columns for all my smart views show the same infos in the same order...).

Thanks for your attention

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Re: List of supported file types - Is AIF audio file supported?

« Last post by Kuiriel on May 21, 2026, 04:47:20 AM »

Thank you.

Yeah, it's listed under
+- Waveform Decoder v1.8.11  [ in_wave.dll ]
   |-   (!) RAW        [ Headerless RAW Waveform ]
   |-   AIF           [ Apple Audio Interchange File ]
   |-   AIFF        [ Apple Audio Interchange File ]

Though these are my Homeworld music files from my box & CD - very, very old. Looks like it actually used the Relic AIF plugin, for files that should actually be AIFR. All the instructions and links are dead now, lol.

Looks like Homeworld Remastered has the audio less compressed and remastered, so I should go listen to that instead.
