beta33.3 has restart bug and 'extended dynamic library menus in the playlist' crashes winamp 5.13beta. also, taggar plugins crashes 5.13beta as well.
so i think official dl2.0 should be released after 5.13 is released. (i'm just testing 5.13 for unicode (multibyte character) problem, so i don't know when it'll be released though.)

actually, joonas doesn't have the time to development and real work is more important for him.
keep up the great work.

Could you elaborate on these bugs you mention mrym? no one else is telling me anything anymore

Sidetrack: Considering the amount of time I am spending with C# at work I must say I'd wish I could make the next Dl version a C# one...

I think I have fixed this..

Problem here seems to be that shaneh's hack to get which items are selected in the playlist are broken in 5.13...

that's correct and it's very unlikely to be fixed back

the problem is right-click menu of playlist editor > find file on dynamic library or send to external program > instant crash.
also find file on disc doesn't work correctly.

Yes...it's going along, slowly. I only have time to do any work on it on weekends so today I have worked some on it...

Some updates I can tell you...the ML-interface part will be dropped for the general release. It will probably come back in some form as a stand-alone ml-plugin instead. It's just too much crap that can go wrong and I would prefer that DL will get more stable instead. I am rewriting large parts of the code (as I've said before) but even though this will mean that everything (and I mean everything) will have to be beta-tested from the start this will hopefully improve on the code (and stability AND possibility of adding new stuff) in the long run.

Thanks,
Joonas

Hi Joonas,

Good to see you're still at it! Looking forward to beta-testing the "clean" version. For now, good luck on rebuilding DL.

NTFS mount points bug

I was playing around with NTFS mount points (= volume mounted as folder), and I stumbled upon a bug in DL beta 32 in the process: DL will crash Winamp when I select a folder "within" a mount point as root.

The Winamp Media Library handles it just fine, so it must be DL that cannot handle this.

Edit: this turned out not to have anything to do with mount points, but with folder length: too long and DL crashes.

Re: NTFS mount points bug

Yes well...the entire thing is being rewritten so we'll see if the bug is still there at the end or not. Report it again then

Joonas, your plugin is really a must have... Been using beta version 32.3 for some time and had no problems until now... One more request... Would it be possible to add a column that would display the rating of the file... The ***** that could be assigned in the playlist, so that you could sort the files by rating?

Anyway, a minor detail... Very nice work...

Thanks for you work,

Rating has been discussed but I haven't decided how to do it. I won't use ML rating since I don't want to be dependant on ML. That's also why DL in ML will be removed.

Joonas,
I can give you some sample code for you to do this. Catch me on IRC sometime
