Color Editor 2.2.1 released

[DigiMike]

Works fine on winamp modern.
Works fine on my previous skin Vision.

Crashes on Big Bento
Crashes on a skin when I'm developing when I have more than 2 color elements available to change(figured out last night).
Crashes Azenis 2 as soon as I launch the editor.

If it helps my system specs are.

Vista Home Premium 32 bit
Quad Core Phenom
4gb RAM
Geforce 8600gt

i dont get this, and tried googling and searching. I open color editer, and i clone Evil Red, and i change all the red colors into Blue so its Blue + Black and then i hit save theme and close the color editer. It looks great, then when i go to close winamp and reopen it the color theme isnt there and gets restored back to my old default color theme?

hi, Color Editor 2.1.2 does not work with winamp 5.541 - and the link at the top of the thread sends me to www dot winamp dot com slash player

[DigiMike]

Any chance on an updated version with bug fixes that runs with the latest version of winamp?

Works fine for me - Winamp 5.541 + WinXP and that's on two separate computers

I'm having this really weird problem with the color editor ever since I built my new computer. I can use the color editor, I can create a new theme, and I can export it, but as soon as I close Winamp, everything I did disappears! (Yes, I'm hitting "save theme" when I'm done.) I'm getting really tired of it. What's the problem here?

Also, how do I import my color themes? I'd like to at least *make* them while I'm trying to figure out how to get them to actually save.

Winamp Color Editor bug

Already reported

The themes are saved but in the new winamp settings path:
%appdata%/winamp

And the coloreditor try to read the stuff from the crogramfiles/winamp path

[HaiyakuCK]

Thank you very much. With that said, would it be possible to just move the file over to the correct file? If so, what should I be looking for and should I rename it for Winamp to recognize it?

[pjn123]

You can try to delete this file in your winamp:
C:\Program Files\Winamp\paths.ini

Your Winamp will now use the old school prefs inside Winamp itself so no worries

[HaiyakuCK]

Thanks again. That seems to have fixed the problem! Cheers.

...unless you're on a restricted user account and then things just won't work at all so not quite the correct thing to be telling people (especially in the multi-user profile days that we live in now).

now if my source code copy bears any relation to that in the nullsoft cvs then it's a simple one line change in the code to make coloreditor use the user dir (which can be the winamp folder if no paths.ini is present). all i shall say (to whoever is meant to be maintaining this component now) is search for .xml in the source to see where the point of issue is and to get this fixed asap as the issue has been going on for far far too long.

Yep your right Just to lazy to warn people about limited right users :P

But yes please fix the colour editor... already reported the bug but think they have other priorities atm

[martin.deimos]

Just wanna let u know that the Multi-user prob is fixed as well as a few other bugs.
Stay tuned for the new Color Editor 2.2.0 with a nicer User Interface! (thx pieter for the ideas!)

I've realized that it's not always obvious what names correspond to which element when using the color editor and so I've made a map for you guys to use. It's not complete since there were a few selections I just wasn't able to find when I made the map but here it is. I hope it's useful.

note that one has lines and the other does not so that it is easier to modify/complete.

And is this too big, I used to have dial-up so I know what it's like to run into large pictures, but I just don't know a better way of posting this.
