Hehe, OK.
I am sure, you will do it the best.

how about this for the message prompt?
You have selected to allow this plug-in to appear in Winamp's interface when a Modern skin is loaded. It is only recommended to do this when the Modern skin being used does not provide an Album Art window of its own.
If the Modern skin already provides an Album Art window then you are likely to see two Album Art windows and duplicated entries in the main Winamp right-click menu for the Album Art window which may appear confusing.
Are you sure you want to enable this setting?
(You will not be prompted with this message again once you select a response).
[Yes] [No]
just throwing this out before i implement it knowing some people are going to translate the message so need to ensure it makes sense from the start

piro1: i've had a play with things now and the plug-in will be set to look for a notfound.bmp in the skin and will use that instead of the built-in image if it can be loaded.
however, and this is the sneaky thing, if you create a png and save it as notfound.bmp then it'll still be loaded and you get to have alpha-blending enabled (as bitmaps obviously don't support it). this is due to how classic skins are loaded as it only extracts bmp image files (from a security issue we had a few years back with skins where they were locked down to what is meant for the skin only) but the image loader in the plug-in 'tests' the image and then uses the correct loader.
should have a new release out at some point today/tomorrow (depends how badly i put off packing up my flat, heh)

Nice Looking forward to it, and that is pretty awesome about png implementation. Now time to design a sweet notfound.png (err... .bmp, haha)

Album Art Viewer v0.6- Removing menu item for enabling modern skin support in the Album Art window
- Added in a prompt (shown only once) explaining the issues with enabling the feature and if they are sure they want to do so
- Added loading support of notfound.bmp from the currently loaded skin which can be just a renamed .png file (to work around skin extraction quirks)

Once i've completed the next update(s) to implement handling of what is shown in the following image (taken from working source code), then the updated source will be released (things are in a bit of a mess at the moment whilst i'm testing and releasing things still).
About the alternative view mode
At the moment (as seen from the screenshot) it's not very far down the line of development as it doesn't load any data and the rating aspect doesn't work. What i'm hoping to do is have the rating part actually working (currently dependant upon gen_ml.dll being present that i'd like to remove if possible) and for it to pull the information as required (need it to cache things where possible).
From reading previous posts about the request, i'm still not sure how best to handle the window being resized as in the smallest state there is just enough height (unless a different font size is being used) and width then becomes the issue. So my current thought is to allow it to be resized (maybe with small/medium/large defaults like the ML has) and it all aligned to the top left so the window can be set to a size required against the information being displayed.
At the moment, the layout is equivalent of the medium detail view.

Got it running, and already have a temporary new notfound.bmp in place. Working perfectly, easy to do and no problems thus far. Good job!Comment

I am not sure if I am asking in the right place, but since this semi works I may as well ask...
I have a 5th Gen 16 gig Nano. I have been using this plugin to download cover art, so far it works like a charm. In winamp and on my ipod in the preview mode. However Cover Flow doesnt show art and fullscreen doesnt show the art. When I go into cover flow or actually pic a track I just get the musical note.
Any ideas?Comment

The download link for the v0.6 (http://stashbox.org/793723/Album_Art_Viewer_v0_6.exe) is dead. Could you update it or post another one valid?
Thanks a lot!Comment

0.6 is obsolete. 0.7 is the current release, it's available in the Essentials Pack. Take a look at my signature or in the Winamp 5.58 thread.My Winamp Info Report | My Winamp Backup Log | My WACUP Info Report
