BTW...this doesn't have to be limited to two columns. Add more if you feel the need.

a two-column listview would be cool but can the 2nd column be relative to chosen folder like this:I need more clarification here. Example:
\ <- root
\abc\ <- 1st sub
and so on instead of displaying the filepath.-lanux128 (March 11, 2009, 01:25 AM)
actually the character count that i'm looking for is the length of <filename.ext> and/or <folder>.How does "C:\Program Files" return thirteen? Are you not counting the "c:\" portion? If so, why?
e.g.
C:\Program Files <- folder; return 13 characters
C:\PDFZilla\help.chm <- file; return 4 characters-lanux128 (March 11, 2009, 01:25 AM)
of course, if i choose/drop a folder, there can be an option for recursive scanning.Recursive scanning is assumed.-lanux128 (March 11, 2009, 01:25 AM)
Correct, I meant the MiniBar.Ah, there is a bug there. If you display the minibar menu, it adds the AoT entry (as it should) but it also adds it to the tray menu. I'll fix that in the next build.
Strange, it looks like there is an AoT setting in the tray menu now... How is that possible?
I swear it wasn't there before!

I personally don't need a button to take me to last.fm's website. Also, tooltips would be nice so that I wouldn't have to launch my browser to last.fm's website to figure out that that button is a "go to last.fm's website" button.For the record, I have plans to extend the minibars in several ways. I will make that heart/love button an option in the Last.fm tab. I think app103 would kill me if I took it out entirely.
- I'd rather have a track progress indicator than a volume meter showing. Is it possible on the Horizontal MiniBar to have a tiny vertical indicator (about the size of the last.fm button) for the volume and use the current horizontal indicator for the track progress like it is in the main window? I don't need to adjust the time on the track from this indicator, I'd just like to see how far into a song I am.
- Any way to replace the last.fm button with such a volume indicator?
- I suspect that with the Vertical MiniBar you could swap them so that the volume bar was the small one only a few pixels wide and the track progress was the larger of the two.
- Alternatively, (though this wouldn't work well for the Vertical MiniBar) just showing some text in the volume indicator that can be customized to show Time Elapsed or Time Remaining (I'm a TR kind of person, myself) would be nice, but I think that might even confuse more people into thinking that it was a track progression indicator instead of a volume indicator.
- I'd like more area to click on to drag the MiniBar around with. What I'd prefer is if clicking didn't change the volume (or track progress) so I could click anywhere that wasn't a button to drag it around. My suggested solution for adjusting the volume with such a setup would be to use the scroll wheel. i.e. click on the MiniBar to activate it then adjust volume using scrollwheel.

Currently, it adds the button only if you enable the Last.fm functionality. Regarding the volume controls in the minibar, it was a tossup between that and the seekbar. I plan to add an option that will display a small section on the minibar with the time remaining/elapsed. I put the Trout icons on the minibars with the intention that they would be used as a sort of "drag thumb". Scrollwheel volume control is a good idea. I'll add that to the ToDo.Additionally, a couple more potential bugs: I somehow managed to confuse it to death. I'm used to double-clicking tray icons for the main window to pop up. So the tray icon disappeared as the main window was popping up, but apparently clicking the tray icon again minimized it to tray, but the tray icon never showed up again. Good thing I had the MiniBar open or else I might never have been able to open the main window again!I can add an option where you can choose single or double-clicking the tray icon to bring it forward.-Deozaan (March 09, 2009, 05:35 AM)
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I noticed after I loaded a playlist with thousands of songs that while it was loading them all up, if I right click on one of the table headers (you know, you left-click them to sort the list by that column) it would stop loading the songs until I finished with my right-click business.That's an AHK behaviour, though, I have seen it with other languages in the past. I'm fairly certain is has to do with AHK being single-threaded but I couldn't say for sure. Nothing should be missed during the file loading i.e. that thread will pick back up when you're done with the context menu.-Deozaan (March 09, 2009, 02:48 AM)
And by the way: WOW! I didn't know such a thing was possible using AHK. This is simply beautiful. This just might be the audio player to get me to finally upgrade from WinAmp 2.81 Lite (August 21, 2002) which I love so much I still use it to this day.Thanks for the nice compliment. I'm glad you tried it out.-Deozaan (March 09, 2009, 02:48 AM)
EDIT: Always on Top is hard to find. I think it should also be available as an option from the tray icon.There is no AoT setting for the main window so I assume you mean for the minibars. I couldn't think of a better place for it other than the minibar menu. I could build out a specific minibar menu that would show up in the tray menu.-Deozaan (March 09, 2009, 02:48 AM)
And it seems the MiniBar should snap to the edges of the monitor if it's within ~10 pixels. Or at least have an option to do that.I'll add that to the ToDo. Thanks. =]-Deozaan (March 09, 2009, 02:48 AM)
[...]Thanks for the kind words and feedback. Please don't ever feel ashamed to make a feature request. Trout wouldn't be what it's become if it wasn't for everybody pitching in with their suggestions and bug reports.
i feel quite ashamed to ask for more. but hear me out-alooper21 (March 05, 2009, 08:52 AM)
1. really needs an equalizer for those people that like to tweak sound a bit. no fancy effects like surround effects and such, but a basic "5 lines" equalizer.1) Yes, an EQ is on the ToDo. This will add some CPU usage, however.
2. tomorrow i'll buy myself an ipod, and if this baby would be able to sync and create folder structure by reading the tags it would be jaw-dropping (tough i heard ipods don't like to bond with anything but itunes). this is not a request! but the one with the equalizer might be
3. double-click on album art to open it in viewer instead of right-click+click. if you don't plan to expand that menu you can simply replace it with this double-click.-alooper21 (March 05, 2009, 08:52 AM)
I'll add it back in there (and keep the current menu, too).another option would be "open file location", like wmp, or, to be original, "go to file". but is ok as it is already.Nice, I think I like "Open file location" the best. Anybody else have any input on this?-alooper21 (March 05, 2009, 09:01 AM)
if you add these optionsto the trout it can be the best;1) A lyrics window is on the ToDo.
add lyrcs automaticly to song.
suggest repairing option for wrong tags.-none exist (March 05, 2009, 11:30 AM)
I suggest to rename that option to "Start Explorer here". In my opinion "Explore here" is not as clear as that, it could mean some internal program option too.Most likely not since the user doesn't have to use regular Windows Explorer (I don't).-brotherS (March 04, 2009, 09:12 AM)
Woohoo, you did it! It's fixed! Trout isn't growing by itself anymore.Silly-ass Windows. Thanks for your patience on this, brotherS.-brotherS (March 04, 2009, 08:34 AM)
No, never touched any of those settings either. Strange...Are you still having those odd saving issues?-brotherS (March 04, 2009, 05:45 AM)
Not sure about which Theme this is, it came looking like this and I never had a reason to change it. Doesn't look very classic though.I can't seem to recreate this issue on any of my boxes or VMs that I test with. Are you running large fonts? A non-standard DPI?-brotherS (March 03, 2009, 11:26 AM)
Did you look into the 'GUI growth' issue yet?No, I don't see it on any of my test boxes. Do you run any sort of skinning engine, etc? Can you use the AHK window spy and let me know the before and after sizes? Anybody else experiencing this issue?-brotherS (March 03, 2009, 02:38 AM)
At the risk of a shameless plug, Trout can do this as well.Are there more freeware players with such a feature?-brotherS (March 01, 2009, 05:04 AM)
XMPlay and foobar2000. Winamp can do it with a plugin as well.-Lashiec (March 01, 2009, 04:40 PM)
It's almost what I want, could it be changed that it remembers the last 'state' also? So that it would start in "pause" mode if I have pressed "pause" before I did quit Trout the last time?Try the latest silent update (v1.0.2.186).-brotherS (March 01, 2009, 07:44 AM)
