[edit 3]
can i have the commandline parameters to use for Nero 6 ->
1 for audio cd
2 data cd
3 mp3 cd

What's the difference between data-cd and mp3-cd?

But still, I'd like to know these parameters, too.

Well, as far as i know, (could be wrong though) a data cd just contains the files, where in an mp3 cd it contains the files but it automatically generates a playlist in the root of the cd, containing all files in all folders

[Dick65]

I'd say you're wrong. An mp3-cd is a data-cd with mp3-files on it.

Hi, I'm back again!

Send to feature is very nice. It's useful for me. Though some kind of shortcut would be nice - possible in any sense. I hate using the mouse.

Is %s = temp playlist the only parameter or are there also parameters for clicked file/list of selected files? Ok, you can use drag and drop, but if sent to is already there why not? (nice you implemented that by the way though I first unintentionally wrecked my archive - disabled folder drop now)

When will the temp folder be cleared - currently never?

... and what happend to extended m3u infos?? Any problmes with that - I liked it.

About the nero question: use file nerocmd.exe. To show possible parameter call nerocmd.exe |more.

The mouse is the future!

Ehm...clicked file/list of selected file? You mean like sending them one after another? Not sure if there are that many programs who like that?

Not? For me it's cleared on every startup.

... and what happend to extended m3u infos?? Any problmes with that - I liked it.

It was dropped...DL now uses standard ATF instead.

Welcome back!

Have some problems wired things with adding/removing Send to apps:

Example:
1. adding mp3tag
then mp3gain
then nero
2. select mp3gain and remove it
3. add mp3gain again
-> result see screenshot

name of 1st app mp3tag is now mp3gain
icon of mp3gain is nero
nero and mp3gain have no parameters anymore

Not only reproduceable this way.

M, no, not exactly, no multiple call - only the filename of the active file. Also perhaps something like %l(separator) = file1%separator%file2... for multiple files??

Same here. But it's only when you add a new app. Once you have all programs there you can correct name + parameters and they will stay that way. For me it's only the parameters and the name. Icons are correct.

[Dick65]

Send to Feurio to write Audio-CD using feurio_write.exe (which is in Feurio's program path, too) and parameter is just %s. You never burned mixed cds quicker than this. A shame that Feurio is very slow with updates for new cd/dvd burners.

I am waiting for that Burrrn-guy to respond.

So who is making a list of useful programs and the appropriate switches?

[Joonas]

Beta 27
* Include system folders added for folder roots.
* Send to app changed.

see if it's still happening. Whole code is totally rewritten.

No...that won't be implemented in DL2 at least.

Hey Joonas

To prevent people from breaking the happy end of the old DL threat again, you could maybe ask an admin to lock it

[AsHopeDies]

Erm....about the drawing bug again...
It's reproduceable on my machine: I get it every time when starting Winamp for the first time after restarting Windows.

What drawing bug again? You can't just assume I'll remember ANYTHING :P

[edit]
Do you refer to the dialog being in the wrong place? Well I can't reproduce it, and benski has confirmed that it might be gen_ff acting up...

does it happen every time when you have a totally clean install?

Well there is nothing I can do about it...it doesn't happen to me...

does it happen to many people?

[mrym]

it seems flicker on start up when the dl window is docked into ml is increasing since 26.8.
not a big deal though, if you have the way to solve this problem, it would be nice.

as for the language strings,
[preferences]
101=Parameters: can't be changed.
send to > save button needs strings.
roots > root management > column header of Files, Cached needs strings.

other than that working fine for me.

just a thought about ashopedies' bug.
the window size is very huge.
does your problem still occur when you decrease window's size?
my monitor size is xga, so I cannot test with the exact match size of yours.
at least no problem for me, when i filled the monitor with modern skinned dl window.

It is not flicker...it is some multiple update thing...I will fix it!

[edit]
@AsHopeDies: you got something fancy screen-wise? multiple monitors? what screen resolution etc?
[/edit]

[Lion12]

Better now - removing 's workin' - but its still something wrong:

click Add -> Add mp3tag -> spezify Parameters / Name -> Save
click Add -> Add mp3gain
=> mp3Gain is added 1st in list and the displayed Parameters / Name are the one of mp3Gain

Everthing is fine again if you close and open the prefs dialog in between the steps or after the last step without saving anything...
...but to add two sent to items one after the other should work correctly!?

(as a precaution: tried on a clean install)

Joonas
No...that won't be implemented in DL2 at least.

That's bad luck. Nero wants to have a file list. Does anyone know a free nerocmd frontend interface which is processing/splitting m3u files?
Maybe I use another program till then.

Congrats Joonas! Meantime rest of DL is very tidy and almost clearly laid out. Most eye-catching thing I noticed since im back.

[telly]

Hmm.. please don't hate me for this.. but header customization isn't saved. I know it worked in earlier DL2 betas.

It must have already been reported .. ? I just can't find where ..

[Dick65]

Cycling thru Winamp's individual windows with CTRL+TAB (i.e. main window, playlist editor, equalizer, DL etc) is broken in 26.8. It worked perfectly until 22.9. Between these two versions it will hang in DL for two TAB-clicks (focusing the search field and then the tree view) and then proceed to the other windows. In 26.8 it will hang in DL for good.

Ehm...what isn't working? Explain what happends and what you expect

What exactly should you pass nero.exe to achieve this? Or must you send it to nerocmd.exe?

I'm on 1280x1024 and I use ObjectDock(it uses overlay). Could this be a problem? I got no problems in ver 1.0 and even earlier betas so I don't think this is the problem...

That is the strangest thing...there is not any significant code change either...if you would drag the window outside of the desktop and back...would it paint the window okay then? or is it not a paint bug but just the controls in the wrong place?

1. Customize the listview columns headers. For example, only keep Track#, Artist, Title and remove all the other ones (11).

2. Close and reopen Winamp

3. Bug: Now every single columns header reappear. All 14 of them, from # to Path.

I'd like to see the listview keeping the changes made.

They are staying hidden here...what OS are you running? Anyone else experiencing this?

[Dick65]

As to columns staying hidden all's fine here!

[TCPost]

I was away from this forum for a while and am so happy that a facility to repair playlists has been added. I am always improving the organization of my libraries, fitting new hard drives for MP3's etc. This is such a vital feature for me.

I would like to know how it works though. I posted a long time ago that it would be neat to create a CRC based on only the AUDIO CONTENT segment of the MP3 file so that even if the file were renamed and/or the ID3 tags changed, the CRC would remain intact. Of course the CRC value would have to be stored with each playlist entry for this to work.

Joonas, how are you doing your scan? Anyone else, where in the forum has this been discussed?

I fiddled with CRC scans...but I didn't do much research and never found anything that was fast enough for my taste...so the repair in DL just looks at filenames...

Ehm...okay quite a few then. Try a clean install and see if the columns are still not being saved. If they aren't, post again, if it's saved add one plugin after another until you find the plugin causing the columns-not-being-saved-bug. Then post again too

[edit]
From previous experience I would guess it's Album List you should remove though...since Album List is usually messing with my shutdown routines...not allowing plugins loaded after Album List to realize Winamp is shutting down...

I was away for a while...

When the corruption appears I can't intereact with DL(e.g. entering anything in the search field), but I can move the window. The corruption is gone when I hide and unhide DL or restart Winamp. I can move the window outside desktop and dock it back to the playlist but the corruption is still there. I'm still getting the bug when the seperator between the tree and columns is moved to the far right and hidden by this way. So I need to drag it back to the center where I want it to be. It would be really great if I found a way to reproduce this, but no luck so far...looks like it's completly random

This is soo weird...but still I must take a guess that it is something special about your system setup...since I would expect a lot more fuss about it if it was a common thing among all the testers...can't for my life imagine what would cause it though...especially the thing about the moving divider...the divider position is only updated when you actually drag it so what would cause it to act like you suggest is beyond me...
I'll try download this ObjectDock you said you were running...not sure if it can cause this sort of thing. Still it might be...

@AsHopeDies: What exactly does overlay imply?

Beta 27.1
* tried implementing send-to multiple file paths. Ehm...well it was requested just a little while ago. Please share if the strings are not informative enough...
* Also tried to move some code that Album List is messing with...
@telly: hopefully you should be able to run Album List AND DL now...

[edit]

@AsHopedies: Could you just for the sake of experimentation try to shutdown ObjectDock for a day or so and see if the bug occurs even without that program running?

[/edit]

[telly]

Right on Jonas, AL indeed was the guilty party... and 27.1 does seem to fix the issue

27.1 has fixed it to the previous behaviour (i.e. hang in DL for two TAB-clicks (focusing the search field and then the tree view) and then proceed to the other windows).
I could live with it - but it's not supposed to be like that.

[Paparazzi]

I know I should not be asking this after having used almost every version since the birth of the DL. .... anyways, the question is ... what does the ENTER Key do when used in the search box?

I know that the Ctrl+Enter and the Shift+Enter and certain other keys do certain functions, but then again those function only when a file/ files are highlighted in the list view, but does any kind of shortcut key work in the search box?

If nothing, I'd like to make a request ... Yup you guessed it! Subject to user definition, I'd really appreciate if Enter key either Plays or Enqueues the files in the list view. That is, having searched and the cursor still being in the search box, an Enter should play or enqueue the file / short listed files!

Please let me know if this can already be done. Again, I'd really appreciate if a list of all shortcut keys that can be used in the DL can be listed!

Thanks

[TazDevil]

heh now that Paparazzi reminded me from his post just above me, pressing the DOWN key in the search bar used to move the focus to the listview once int eh past, and i really liked that feature.

Now regarding Paparazzi's request, i wouldn't like for the enter key to play the search results to winamp, as i am used to entering the search string and then (mechanically) ENTER-ing for input which is the most apropriate (imho)
That is my opinion by the way... respekt.

[Joonas]

Beta 27.2
* Ctrl+Tab should work now.
* Down from search should set focus to listview again.

@Paparazzi: Enter won't get any new functionality...not in DL2 at least. Sorry!
