I updated to the latest edition and now "Do not show Toaster when Main Window is Active" will not stay selected in my options. That is, it remains checked until I press the OK button in the Options. But when I open the options up again, the option is unchecked.

v1.0.2 build 236
    + Added "Enable/disable Last.fm" to the playlist's Last.fm context menu.
    + Added Last.fm icon to the statusbar.  Single-clicking on it will toggle between a red
      icon (Last.fm enabled) and a grey icon (Last.fm disabled).  Right-clicking it will
      bring up the same Last.fm menu as above.
    + Added an option for a configurable number of seconds to rewind when resuming from
      a pause state.  Leave it set at zero (0) to turn it off.  [Thanks, brotherS]

Two issues with the scrollbars which nobody has remarked so far, maybe it only happens on my pc.

When I click on the scrollbar slider the listview colors get inverted. Also if I press on scrollbar to move quicker throughout the listview content and release the mouse the slider keeps displacing on its own until I move the mouse off the scrollbar.

Download: PlayTime

New additions:

• Merged all necessary files into one executable.
• New program icon.
• Double-clicking a row will run/play that file.
• In addition to the total time for everything in the list, the total time for the highlighted selection is now shown in the statusbar.
• Context/right-click menu for the listview (mimics the Edit menu).

Let me know what you think.  Thanks.

a pre-emptive vote against any possibility of changing that to a double click (to bring it from the tray)

-tomos (March 09, 2009, 06:36 AM)

I'll make the number of tray clicks an option at some point.

there's an existing Winamp plugin by Lyrc that does this. why not incorporate this plugin into Trout, might save some time.

-lanux128 (March 09, 2009, 11:46 PM)

Thanks.  I'll probably be using LyricWiki.org, though, since I already have working code based on the help I gave in this AHK forum thread here.

skwire: can this be extended for files stated in the command-line of Trout? i use a Farr alias to search for songs and load them into Trout.
e.g. Trout.exe "C:\My Mp3s\some_song.mp3"
right now, the newly-added files are inserted at the bottom of the listview, which is good most of the times but some options would be nice.

-lanux128 (March 12, 2009, 03:29 AM)

I assume you would just want it to work like it does for the listview i.e. obey the setting you've chosen?

Is it just me or can we not remove a song from the playlist with delete key? That would be a nice feature to add.

-mouser (March 12, 2009, 05:03 AM)

Mouser and I fixed this in the latest build (v1.0.2.208).  I added the numpad delete key to that routine.  =]

a minor idea: when choosing to save a new playlist, maybe use the info from the first song (artist/album) as default name?

-mouser (March 12, 2009, 05:38 AM)

Won't be hard to add.  Thanks.

Option request: "rewind on resume" - user would be able to define an amount of seconds Trout would rewind the file when you resume listening (from pause mode).

-brotherS (March 12, 2009, 06:10 AM)

Added to the ToDo.  Thanks.

IDEA for new playback setting
Shuffle (or Random) with manual override :-)

-tomos (March 12, 2009, 07:16 AM)

Added to the ToDo.  I'll try to come up with a way to smoothly implement this.  I'm thinking maybe a "Playback follows highlight" or something like that.

Bug Report:

When starting Trout up again, it brings the playlist to the about the correct position to keep the currently playing track visible, except the currently playing song is actually just one above the visible area. In other words, you have to scroll up the playlist window one spot to see the currently playing song.

-Deozaan (March 12, 2009, 02:44 PM)

Fixed in the latest build.  Thanks.

There is this bug when you use media keys in logitech keyboard the song you change from keeps playing when the the song you change to starts playing

-Hezzu (March 13, 2009, 02:04 AM)

Hey, Hezzu.  Nice to see you here.  In the last build that I just uploaded, there is an option to enable/disable those media keys.

Latest build:

v1.0.2 build 211
    + Made it so the numpad's delete key will work like the regular delete key.  [Thanks, mouser]
    + Added handling for media keys on Logitech keyboards (Play/pause, Stop, Next,
      Prev, Vol up/down).  [Thanks, mouser]
    + Added "Enable media keys by default" option to the Options, Hotkeys dialog.
    ! Fixed an HTML decoding issue on WPL files.  [Thanks, app103]
    ! Fixed a TR/TE display issue with the toaster popup.  [Thanks, Deozaan]
    ! Fixed a sizing issue when restoring from the tray/minibar if "Minimize on startup"
      was checked.  [Thanks, Deozaan]

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Find filenames/folders above certain length and offer to rename them

« on: March 11, 2009, 11:15 PM »

From what you suggested in the last post, are you concerned simply with fixing long filenames or foldernames regardless of their parent path?  Is that correct?

-skwire (March 11, 2009, 11:33 AM)

absolutely, that is what i want.

-lanux128 (March 11, 2009, 09:11 PM)

I think we're on the same page now.  Now, since there will be the ability to rename folders, I'd like to restrict this tool to working with only one given folder (and its subfolders) at a time.  The reason is that, if you rename a folder, I can do a simple rescan of the working path to refresh the listview contents.  Does this make sense?  Would this be acceptable?

P.S. let me know if you want me to pop by the chat-room to discuss some more..

1) A user enters a path to a folder where (mulitple) tv shows are around.
2) The multimedia files will be scanned and based on filenames
3) more information will be downoaded with the You could see the hierarchy as a tree: TV Show - Season - Episode
4) The app should not run in full screen by default (maybe an option for later on). The most important part is the UI. I want it to be simple but sleek and smooth.
5) The most important part is: When you clicked a file to start playing it, it does open in a custom external media player.

Some thoughts:
1) Easily doable.
2) Are your filenames done according to a personal scheme?  Or, do they follow the typical scene standard e.g. Some.TV.Show.s01e04.avi (the "s01e04" being the important part).
3) I haven't looked into the API much but the fact they even have one bodes well for something like this.
4) Hmmm...full-screen?  I was envisioning just a typical Windows application look.  Did you have something else in mind?
5) Easy.

Based on your counting requirements, and talking with mouser, I think I see where my confusion lies.  I've been basing my thoughts and assumptions that you are concerned with fixing full path length or, at the very least, relative path length issues.  From what you suggested in the last post, are you concerned simply with fixing long filenames or foldernames regardless of their parent path?  Is that correct?

5324

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Find filenames/folders above certain length and offer to rename them

« on: March 11, 2009, 04:58 AM »

Apologies, I am still unclear as to how you want to count the path length.  You've mentioned counting folders and files differently but there will never be only a folder in a given listview row.  Every row will be a file of some sort.  In other words, this is not intended as a folder renamer, only a filename renamer.  Are we on the same page with regard to that?  For instance, based on what you said above, you want it like this:

[Select]

file_1.exe  | \
file_4.ext  | \subfolder_1\
file_7.ext  | \subfolder_2\

What you want is easily doable in a GUI sense.  However, the following will never happen:

[Select]

file_1.exe  | \
file_4.ext  | \subfolder_1\
file_7.ext  | \subfolder_2\
subfolder_3 | \subfolder_3\    <--- This can't happen.

If a folder is empty, nothing gets added to the listview.  Does that make sense?

So, with all that in mind, I still need to know how you want these lengths counted.  Maybe I'm not seeing the forest for the trees on this one.
