Suggestions for 3.9

Hello, I want for the new version that, when I open a file, all the files in the folder it's added to the playlist too, in the same position in the folder. Thanks.

Horizontal scrolling in the F1-F6 views. As far as I can see there is no such thing as horizontal scrollbars yet, so while skins do not provide their own bitmaps for those, XMPlay could maybe simply rotate existing scrollbar images by 90°?

An option to change the background color and intensity for the highlight (inverted) for current position in MOD vis.
Or if it's possible already, where in skinconfig to change it, imho it's a tad too much contrast.

saga

I asked Ian a while ago about how the colours are computed (for emulating them in the xmp-openmpt vis), but you already mentioned the important keyword: The current row is simply inverted pixel by pixel, meaning that the background colour is always the inverse of the regular background. If this was configurable, then all other inverted colours would need to be configurable, too. And since they are all computed from the same set of three or so basic skin colours, it might complicate things quite a bit. :)

Andreasvb

An option in skinconfig.txt that you can override with, e.g. color_modhighlight or similar could work. :)

Hmm, I have one suggestion. Ian, can you add to function Remove and delete file one buton, "All"? Now when I want to delete more files from playlist (and simultaneously delete these files from disk) everytime I have to click "Yes" button, which is quite boring (and annoying), when I want to delete for example 100 files. Is it possible to add such button?

Ian @ un4seen

Here's an update that should show a single file deletion confirmation for all of the selected files:

If wanted, it is also possible to disable the file deletion confirmation by adding a "NoConfirmDelete=1" line to your XMPLAY.INI file.

Big thanks Ian! Now I can prepare my HVSC collection at once!

i'm still with the same requesting to the possibility to have the sonique fisuals in a standalone window, to have at the same time the list and the visuals.

For the next package update, it would be great to include all of the "official" un4seen input plugins. This will offer a better out-of-the-box experience for everyone just getting into the software, and if someone really needs to get rid of unused plugins, they can still delete them. After all, xmp-wma is still shipped with the player by default even though it's probably not used that much nowadays (and I'd rather have XMPlay ship with xmp-flac than xmp-wma, but maybe that's just me ;D), so could just as well put a few more plugins into the package.
Given the tiny size of those plugins, it would hardly bloat the distribution, and still load very quickly.

Greetings, I have been wondering if it is possible to use directory name in which file is located as album substitution or separate tag value. As I mainly listen to streams from various video games and these formats are notorious for having no tag data it would be a way to sort these in library tab, as I have a numerous files just entitled as bgm_## :C


P.S. Now, it's been a while, I can't even seem to restore my account anymore :P

You could select all the files in a directory, right-click > Track info > Override and then fill in the album title. Apply and you have your album tag. Base file name / full path is also a library column option but no parent directory unfortunately.

Well, while this is a solution, I wouldn't bother entering the whole library by hand, even by folder there are thousands of titles. Using file path instead of file name is a way, but this just looks odd to see full path in scrolling title.

A very minor thought .. set/update the "stuff update" to point to the "stuff" version download page.

edit .. whilst I'm thinkin' about it, a 'secret settings/ini ' tab would also finally be a good thing at this point, considering how many settings there now are.

For S3M files with AdLib instruments (sample type >= 2), XMPlay should probably warn the user that they might be missing parts of the module. For example, the "Format" could be changed from "ScreamTracker 3.20" to "ScreamTracker 3.20 (AdLib)" if such instruments are present.

Trying to play a playlist.m3u which has an entry for playlist.m3u crashes XMPlay.

To prevent that, the update above should limit the nested playlist processing depth to 1, ie. it'll process a 2nd playlist within the 1st playlist, but not a 3rd playlist within the 2nd.

Seems to work just fine, thanks. :)

I love xmplay and would like to have added or know if...

1) Is there a way to get time to read 90:00.0 (minutes-seconds) instead of 1:30:00.0 (hour-minutes-seconds)?
2) In 'skinconfig.txt' mini mode font parameters seem to be ignored ie. "font_mainmini" and "font_mainminisize" and defaults to use "font_main/size" instead?
3) Mask_list_mini.bmp and Panel_list_mini.bmp seem to be ignored when making skins?
4) On the playlist screen the only way to remove all entries is by doing a CTRL-A then select 'remove' a 'remove-all' option would be nice.

thanks
