request: main window loses focus :(

OXOTHUK · 20th December 2006, 07:57

Sorry for my English, but since 5.09 version Winamp lost one thing: if I'm opening the "Add files to playlist" dialog, I can't select the main Winamp window to increase the sound or, for example, to FF the track while this dialog window is opened. That's why I'm still using 5.09 version. By the way, I'm using the classic skin.

Hope, you will return the option to control the tracks.

Thanks for Winamp.

that was removed as part of a bug fix which otherwise would cause winamp to lock up when dragging files from that dialog into window. it wasn't even an intended design feature to begin with so it won't be returning.

the best work around would be to use some global hotkeys to control things as needed

I don't have any problems with some dragging in this version.

It's sad - I needed this feature..

Seems like I will use the 5.09 till the.. I don't know what

Thanks for answer..

If it will be possible to return this feature, it will be good.

it won't be possible to make it return (this was asked when it was 'fixed') since it other brings an old bug which would lock up winamp (which ofcourse is not wanted)

ok...

another one strange thing

also, very uncomfortable, I think..

Double click on the song title in main window gives a tag.... before it was the file information. If I wanted to send the path to NP file, I took it from this window..

Could you please help me - where can I watch, what is the path to file is playing now ? can't find it in the latest version.

Answer me please..

Now there is no way to find a path to now playing file. For example, I've added mp3 to playlist by dragging it from another window. It called Track01. How can I find it in my computer, if I want to ? Need help.

OXOTHUK · 22nd December 2006, 09:16

I just found it in the "Playlist entry" option. Is there another way to watch full path to file?

Also, seems like there is no way to see the file size and other file options that were available in 5.09 version.. don't know about others

Download DrO's Find File on Disk plug-in, right click the file and choose "Find File on Disk"
