Winamp Info Tool (v6.3.1 available, released on 19-12-2022)

[Koopa]

A new test version (Build 0938) is available with updated Turkish, PortugueseBR and Polish language file , thanks guys.

it has the complete new tabbed interface, I've spent an age to fine tune it for the languages. It still needs some final tweaks, but all languages should fit. You have a lot more space than in the old version.

If there's anything wrong, just lemme now.

Candiba:

For next build, I've vastly increased the space for the entries on the left side, so your longer Versions for 'Winamp Tray Control Icon Pack Path' and 'Winamp File Type Icon Library Path' could fit now:

Neat app, nice work

[Koopa]

Thanks siebe83.

Build 0950 is now available, changes from 0938 build:

- increased size of all labels to allow longer translations and prevent clipping of existing translations
- fixed visual glitch in groupboxes when switching between tabs
- fixed visual re-drawing glitch of tabs, when one of the 'Open' directory buttons was pushed
- made background of the tool white instead of gray
- filled in English strings for missing strings in Russian language file (so Russian is at least usable again)

RC2 is now available for the public.

I downloaded and checked out quickly and it was nice
I'll watch soccer now, after I test more calmly.

I'm glad that you like it.

You can test Build 0960, which is available now, it has much more visual improvements.

Russian lang file

I am so sorry for my delay.

[Koopa]

Thanks.

A new test version (build 0981) with updated Russian language file is available.

We're very close to final version.

[Koopa]

v2.0 Final is now available. I've fixed a bunch of visual issues, I found in the last RC. I even started work on Skin support, but it's time for a release now, I worked nearly a week on the tool now and I need a break.

Thanks go to all people, who tested or translated the tool or gave me tips.

You can still update your existing language file or provide a new language file. When I got a new language file I'll recompile the tool.

Tiny fix in Russian lang file

[osmosis]

Chris, the tabs and everything are looking really great! Nice job!
Got a couple unknown plugins I thought I'd report though:

Unknown General Purpose Plugins:
gen_cd_menu.dll - CD Menu Tweaker
gen_lyricsplugin.dll - Lyrics Plugin
gen_mwblock.dll - Mouse Wheel Blocker
gen_tagger.dll - Tagger
gen_ttm.dll - Taskbar Text Mod

Unknown Media Library Plugins:
ml_ipod.dll - iPod Support (Non-PMP)
ml_plsfind.dll - MLFind

Cheers!

I think that you should remove the names of plug-ins from the language files. Then you may find it easier to update this tool in the future. Note: I have kept English names for plug-ins.

[Koopa]

osmosis:

I'm glad that you like the look. Thanks for your feedback. I'll note your plugin list and it will be added for the next version.

VIPer:

Yeah, I should come up with a proper Plugin Name and Version Number detection, the current thing is nothing more than guessing, based on a Whitelist what the plugin name is. Sadly none of the Winamp plugins hold their name or the version number in resources (like for example the Gracenote dll does), so you cannot catch them from an external program the same way, like you can do it as Winamp Plugin (like OneForNunz does). So real name and version number detection from an external program is really tricky.

Nevertheless, my aim was it, that the Plugin names get the same localized names like the localized Winamp builds. I've localized nearly all native Winamp Plugins and a bunch of 3rd party plugins in the German Winamp language pack. So I used the same localized German strings in the generated txt/html list too. So even with a proper name detection, the names of the official Nullsoft Plugins (along with a bunch of DrO's plugins) will always be part of the language files. But I fully agree with you, though. Adding more 3rd parties requires lot of work from me and from the translators.

So yeah, I'll only add langstrings in future for plugins, which are really fully localizable. None localizble plugins (the majority of all available plugins) will be hard coded in the tool. This saves work for me and for you.

I'll recompile a new final build with updated russian lng file and osmosis' plugin list tomorrow, I just came home a few minutes ago and am really tired.

pet peeve of mine:

i can't highlight and copy whats shown in the dialog. windows does that a lot, and it really irks me. i always feel like i should be able to highlight and copy text.

also, the tool could use links to this thread and maybe to winamp.

Build 0986 is now available. It has an updated Russian language file and is able to detect the names of osmosis' plugin list. If you have one or more plugins, which are listed as 'Unknown Plugin' and you want to see the name in the HTML Report instead, do it exactly like osmosis did, provide the file name and the plugin name and I'll add it.

MrSinatra:

Neither any the info tools I tried (GPUZ, CPUZ and even dxdiag) nor Winamp's preferences for example provide the ability to select the text and a context menu.

You can simply generate a TXT/HTML report, where you select and copy whatever you want. I fail to see any advantage. It's meant as a view thing only, for other things we have the report(s). *shrugs*

As for the links, the HTML report already has a weblink and I'll probably add a link in the GUI of the tool too, once I've finished my website. A winamp.com link makes no sense, because you must have Winamp installed, otherwise the tool won't run.
