Winamp Freeform skin engine bug thread

[martin.deimos]

ok maybe u have a wrong pldir.mi file - the 5.55 development took so long so i have no idea what's fixed / new or what was already in 5.54

[VIPer]

The prototype was:
extern int PlEdit.getLength (int item);

It seems that there was a file with error somewhere. It works fine after fix to "string". Thanks.

[martin.deimos]

have u looked at the api??
getLength returns a string and not an int!
so a return value looks like "3:48"

[VIPer]

PlEdit.getLength(int track_num) returns only minutes instead of milliseconds as getPlayItemLength() does. For example it returns just "7" if length is 7:28. Please fix it.

[Lion_S]

very nice

[E-Trance]

PlEdit.getLength(int item) returns only a number of minutes w/o seconds. It's just useless and it's a bug. Isn't it?

Use getAutoWidth()...

And the getText() isn't abug... It must return that. If thats changed some maki scripts will brake. They need to add a new function like getFinalText() and they need to to add a function to maki that sends a string through the translate system so that you can use it for something like "Volume: 78%".... Can then just do something like this: translateString("Volume")+"78%"

Another bug...

getTextWidth() always returns width of an untranslated string. For example, text object with default="Artist" will display "Исполнитель" if translated to russian. That is much longer than "Artist". Though getTextWidth() will return width for "Artist" and not for "Исполнитель".

Ohh... Even more! getText() also returns untranslated string.

One more bug...

Skins can't determine the number of channels in a localized version. That's because of translation of Stereo/Mono to something else. Can you introduce something like isStereo() or even getChannelsConfig()?

[E-Trance]

It seems that main menu in Bento tends to lost translation after switching beetween Small and Big Bento several times (1-3).

I've created my own bugs and wishes thread, since this one is filled with more than just bugreports and I wanna make sure it's easy to find my lists and that they they won't be lost in a sea of regular posts and comments.

anyways, here's the link:

ah yea forgot bout that 1 sylvester, but that does not work either they both should work regardless

[pjn123]

Does .setXMLParam("alpha", "xx") work?

[SLoB]

think setAlpha is borked on layers derived via classes

does not seem to work yet other derived classes work for other objects.

for example

Class Layer mylayr;
Global mylayr thislayer;

thislayer = yourlayout.findobject("gotthislayer");

mylayr.setAlpha(70);

Sorry for being foolish. I have not. Sorry once again.
