Yeah my fault...accidently all menu options got Play when I added bolded default.

What happened to the 'but do action' option?
I admit it was kind of weird for a name, but the option was quite handy to me.
I like it if the entry exists it gets moved after current when enqueue after current is set for double click, and gets moved to bottom when enqueue is set.
Now it just keeps the existing entrie where it is, but if i want to hear that song i have to go browse look for it or use Dro's jump to file instead.

Yes well...as you say, the name was very confusing. And I thought the whole thing was kinda useless to move an existing entry...I'll put the request back in the wishlist but there's a bunch of things that has to be rewritten unless we can solve Taz's problem

This works? Unless you mean you're picking Enqueue and play and Enqueue after current from menus. The option you are referring too only works with double-click actions.

[Joonas]

Just to make sure...

Taz: do you restart Windows or just log out when you try?

[TazDevil]

You can also decrease the time NT waits for a service to stop before terminating it by performing the following:

1. Start the registry editor (use regedt32.exe not regedit.exe)
2. Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
3. Double click on WaitToKillServiceTimeout (REG_DWORD) and change to the number of milliseconds after the logoff/shutdown before displaying the Wait, End Task and Close dialog box, e.g. 10000 for 10 seconds, the default is 20000
4. Add HangAppTimeout (REG_DWORD) and change to the number of milliseconds to wait before displaying the Wait, End Task and Close dialog box after trying to close an application.
5. Add AutoEndTasks (REG_DWORD) and change to 1 to avoid the dialog asking to Wait, End Task and Close.

I found this info here

So i have...
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
AutoEndTasks = 0
HungAppTimeout = 5000
WaitToKillAppTimeout = 20000

and in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
WaitToKillAppTimeout = 20000

What do you have? i suspect that you have AutoEndTasks = 1
that is why you dont get the dialog...

You may need to restart to apply any changes

[edit]
on both logoff and reboot/shutdown

[edit 2]
Arg yes it works on doubleclick the keep existing aor ask, i was chosing the option from the menu and expected the same behaviour. :S

Nope exactly the same settings...and my cache is actually saved no matter how big it is...

[edit]
Taz: I have found something when playing around with your installation...there is a crash of some sort, not a fatal crash but something is tying up Winamp long enough to cause that End dialog you're getting...I am not sure quite what it is. I can't reproduce it with my own installation either...will keep investigating. Don't give up just yet
[/edit]

[edit2]
Have you tried a totally clean install? You do have a lot of other plugins that could potentially interfere here...

Beta 31.4
* Change in language file for duplicates to prevent people from thinking anything but double-clicks will trigger the selected event.
* Lots of tweaks for shutdown. Hopefully most issues are resolved, but it likely will require a lot of more testing.
* Small tweaks to menu ordering.

Exact search is really lame right? Should it be tweaked or removed? Opinions?

[mrym]

two problems

change root dialog displays weird character, see attachment.

tool tip for invisible tree view folder doesn't pop up when dl docked into ml.

imho, exact search is useless for me.

[edit]could you add language string for button's tool tip?

This is weird...does it look like that for anyone else? Have it worked before? Have you done anything specific?

tool tip for invisible tree view folder doesn't pop up when dl docked into ml.

Nope, and likely it won't work. something is very weird with tooltips when docked into ML...those tooltips aren't even something DL is showing...that's the standard treeview tooltips..

(As a sidenote: I hate Dock into ML - might consider dropping it...)

imho, exact search is useless for me.

Yup, likely dropped.

i don't remember it worked before. just hit browse button and select another folder...

noooo! i can live with this problem.

Well can you recreate it? I can't Maybe I should see if this is win2k specific too...

noooo! i can live with this problem.

It's just so many problems that origin in the ML-interface...just doesn't feel worth the hassle of breaking so many other features just for this silly one :P

sorry, it only occurred playlist root.
not folder root. reproducable?

i feel your worry. you should explain that this feature is just a bonus and it may have some problem when you publish 2.0 in the public.

good night

Ah that explains it...could not reproduce but could see what could go wrong...

Hopefully 31.5 up on site won't have this bug.

I would prefer this than drop it all together.

I understand the problems this option can make, so you don't like it, but many people do.
If you decide to drop it anyway i guesse we'll just have to live with that

[TazDevil]

he wants translations for tooltips

You had me warried to death with the is C:\ture.txt file containing just DIED!, i thought i was being hacked... ouf

code:


#ifdef _DEBUG

	#include <stdarg.h>



	__inline void DEBUGINFO(LPCTSTR format, ...) 

	{

		char *DebugString = (char *)GlobalAlloc(GPTR, 4096);



		va_list argptr;

		va_start(argptr, format);     /* Initialize variable arguments. */

		_vsnprintf(DebugString, 4096, format, argptr);

		va_end(argptr);              /* Reset variable arguments.      */



		OutputDebugString(DebugString);

		GlobalFree(DebugString);

	}

	#define PRINT		DEBUGINFO

#else

	#define PRINT		__noop

#endif



//USAGE -> PRINT("DL extited with error code (%d)", iErrorCode);

Using something in the line of, the above code, when you want to try outputting something to the debugger... which only compiles in debug mode... see _DEBUG

so if i am getting this file what does it mean ?
now i got a string IPC_DL_QUIT

Heh...sorry. Just delete that file. The release on site now won't produce that file. I don't generally put debug specific code in the file...I need to test with the release release too so it doesn't help me much...just have to remember to remove it. That's what you get for using beta software

[Lion12]

Some minor thing again:
Righclick in treeview: Root management->move root->move up doesn't work when last root selected.

[Joonas]

I will start rebuilding the cache to use a SQL-engine. I can say already that the file will be ~450 kb large instead of the currently ~270 kb.

Everything else is put on hold.

[Joonas]

Forget my last post. :P

Will fix up these few bugs left and be done with it.

Hey guys, So sorry if this has been asked/covered, but I have searched with limited results. Alright, first off, thanks for such a GREAT plugin. It's saved my life and is almost perfect. I just have one singular little problem. I'm running Dual Monitors, I also use UltraMon and the latest version of Winamp (5.111 at the time). My problem : When I drag Winamp over to the secondary monitor with Dynamic Library docked OR undocked I have no control of the tree scroll or the list scroll. But when I have the Dynamic Library window undocked on my Primary Monitor, it's fine (It also makes no difference where Winamp is, just as long as DL is on the Primary Monitor). This is a pretty big problem, as I'd like to keep Winamp on my second monitor 100% of the time. Again, Winamp 5.111, UltraMon 2.6.23.0 and Dynamic Library v1.3 Beta.

If it's any help, here are my UltraMon stats.

2 monitors
Current desktop: 2560x1024 (-1280,0 - 1280,1024)

Monitor 1 - Plug and Play Monitor (primary):
Settings: 1280x1024, 32-bit color, 60 Hz refresh rate
Coordinates: 0,0 - 1280,1024. Workspace: 0,0 - 1280,996
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT
Device: \\.\DISPLAY1\Monitor3

Monitor 2 - Philips 107S (107S2):
Settings: 1280x1024, 32-bit color, 60 Hz refresh rate
Coordinates: -1280,0 - 0,1024. Workspace: -1280,0 - 0,994
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT
Device: \\.\DISPLAY2\Monitor2

I hope this helps, and maybe solves a problem other people have. As I said, if someones mentioned/brought this up before, I'm sorry.

-Edit, I'm running Version 1.3 Beta, Idiot-

1.3 Beta? Maybe you mean you're running v1.03? That's not a beta though

anyway, there's not much I can do about this...I only have one monitor and thus can't test this. I don't have any idea whatsoever what's bugging out codewise...sorry.

[edit]
I just realized I could dual-view on my TV. I have no problem scrolling when Winamp is on either screen though? Can anyone with two screens reproduce non-scrolling on dual-view?
[/edit]

[edit2]
Hmm, does it work with the regular Media Library?
[/edit2]

[edit3]
okay, fixed it.

[Joonas]

Beta 31.6
* Multi-monitor bug fixed.
* Move up root from last root should now work.
* Added a new value for the ini-file. It's called Shutdown timeout and is default set at 5000 (milliseconds that is). It is the longest amount of time that DL will wait for the tag-thread to terminate when you shutdown Winamp. This is about twice the amount of time it takes my XP1900+ to write a 28 mb cache file. If you have extremely many files this time might have to be extended. If DL finishes before this timeout everything is of course all right and Winamp and DL will of course shutdown promptly. This if only necessary to tamper with if you're experiencing problems on shutdown.

[Lion12]

Joonas:

so end in sight for V2 then?

Joonas:
* Move up root from last root should now work.

something goes wrong here:
1. select last root and move up
2. select new last root -> move down is available, so move down
=> whole tree vanished.
Edit:
Also check: select first root -> only move root up is available


language file request:
I want to avoid scrolling in the preferences panel so I have to use a shorter synonym for miscellaneous string (something like: miscellaneous -> misc., diverse, sundry). But this is very nasty in pref->search and pref->miscellaneous groupboxes.
So could you please use at least one single language string for panel and one string for the two groupboxes.

Hopefully yes. I just don't have the time for major programming projects right now

I saw that when I tried..but as I recompiled I can't reproduce it so maybe it was something screwed up...see if the problem persists in the new beta.

A new preferences string has been added for this purpose.

Beta 31.7 is up on site

[Lion12]

Jooans: I saw that when I tried..but as I recompiled I can't reproduce it so maybe it was something screwed up...see if the problem persists in the new beta.

It's still there, and very weird - play around moving roots up and down and often get wrong up/down lockings.

Edit 2: by the way: same issue when moving root with ctrl+arrow

Edit: pref->Send To->add 'Select application' in Dialog not translatible

[Joonas]

Fixed.

Edit: pref->Send To->add 'Select application' in Dialog not translatible [/B]

Hmm, okay. I have added this one to the language file. Mind though that most dialogs isn't worth translating...I mean you won't be allowed to change Applications or anything for the filter...that's just not necessary I think. You will so seldom use the dialogs anyway...

Beta 31.8
* More tweaks for saving cache (dunno if this is better/worse than before tho)
* Fix for moving roots

[Lion12]

Jooans:

Sure, but since everything else is translatible - stands out specially in non-latin languages. 'Select language file' dialog is the last one we forgot I suppose.

My issues seem to be fixed. Others? Time to arouse translators then - any deadline?

Some question: You mentioned to eventually skip exact search - what does exact search exactly () do?

[jojo 544]

quote: so end in sight for V2 then?

I Think there's an issue with auto update.
I'll do more testing an a full report when i have more time tonight.

weird character of change playlist root is gone.

just a question, it seems add folder for playlist root still doesn't work so i don't get how option menu ([Dialogs] line=17,18) works exactly...

Nope, that part isn't finished yet

[jojo 544]

What i ment was auto refresh... I tested again and changing a filename or tag doesn't make DL refresh anymore, even when auto refresh for that root is on.

Also alt+enter is still broken.
If a new release is comming maybe a longer testing period could point out some more bugs, since a lot of changes have been made lately.

[TazDevil]

I dont know what got me to write this but here it goes..

jojo 544 and all of us testing DL, software (in general) will always have somekind of a flaw, believe me, issues that only i am experiencing, and Jonas has so tried to fix...

Just a reminder as you know Jonas is getting a job on 5 Dec, from when he will have even less time to work on the project, so if we all put your best, and find as many bugs before that date, it will be for the best interest of all of as, also please when you find one post full steps in order reproduce the issue so that it makes it easier for Jonas to reproduce it.

I suspect that Jonas will be releasing v2 at around that date, (not that he told me anything) so i think we should reduce the feature requests for v2, and try to fix all the bugs, so we can make DL v2 release-able

A lot of issues are around because of different systems, and Jonas trying to retain compatibility with all of them especially 9x windows systems, which refrains 2000/XP systems to be used at full extent. I dont know whether Jonas have done this already, but he might be dropping compatibility for 9x in v2 (this is not confirmed at the moment) so i think a poll is in order here.

So happy hunting, while bug hunting season is open, lol, ( i just thought of that one )
Goodnight,

Auto-refresh is still dependent on what Windows could as a change...I know that some changes aren't counted a real change...don't hold that against me :P

Also alt+enter is still broken.

Enquque after current? Work for me?

[Joonas]

Beta 31.9
* Auto-refresh was actually broken. Fixed it.

[mrym]

Beta 31.9
* Auto-refresh was actually broken. Fixed it.

actually cache file was created though..whenever i open winamp, dl re-reads tags.

dl doesn't save customized column header(order,size,etc).

drag'n drop/send to playlist is something wrong. see attachment.

[jojo 544]

For me it is still broken , maybe some others could test it too. Lion12? TazDevil?
The about tab sais 31.8 so maybe my i update didn't work, tho i tried a few times.
The alt+enter thing only ocures when docked in ml, but the issue isn't worth dropping dock function to me

mine says 31.9. so i guess you failed to download or something...maybe clear internet cache?

auto-refresh is working fine when i rename file in explorer.
(cache doesn't work though...)

Hi

I discovered 2 weeks ago and use it every day since then. And, as French speaker, I have this question about search with special characters : for example, when i search for words containing "é", I'd like to get the "e" as well (or the opposite, search for bireli and get biréli as answer)

Hope this is possible, and not mentioned before, I haven't read the 48 previous pages.
