just wanted to say the update feature worked perfectly here (DcUpdater installed on my pc).
-mouser (February 25, 2009, 06:17 AM)

the update feature is not working for me, Trout just displays the default error message that DCUpdater is not installed. for the record, i installed DCUpdater in a custom folder.

if i open DCUpdater, the status bar shows this message: "ERROR: Config File 'C:\Program Files\DonationCoder\Trout\trout.exe' could not be loaded by TinyXml lib - error document empty."

i will try to make dcupdater findable even if installed in custom directory or not installed.

but i dont understand your second comment about "if i open dcupdater" can you elaborate on what you are doing to get this error.

I suggest a topic split! DCupdater issues might better be discussed in another thread, since it involves many different programs, Trout just being one.

mouser · « **Reply #228 on:** February 25, 2009, 08:08 AM »

true, lets talk dcupdater issues on dcupdater thread.

Another idea for a Trout feature (from reading https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=17222)!

1by1 has this feature:

Full Resume play: remembers last track and position

Could that be added to Trout too? Would be helpful!

-brotherS (March 01, 2009, 05:05 AM)

is that feature any different from the 'Resume playback on start' option currently available in Trout?

v1.0.2 build 48
+ New option: 'Remember last playback position & auto-play on start'. [Thanks, Rhys]

Ha, didn't see that option!

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).

Did you look into the 'GUI growth' issue yet?

(Did you feed Trout with growth hormones?

)

-brotherS (March 03, 2009, 02:38 AM)

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 · « **Reply #236 on:** March 03, 2009, 03:51 AM »

No skinning engine here.

Apologies, I should have asked for this before. What are the values for the following in your config.ini before and after?

[Position]/pos_x
[Position]/pos_y
[Position]/pos_w
[Position]/pos_h

So, you're using the Windows Classic theme?

brotherS · « **Reply #238 on:** March 03, 2009, 11:26 AM »

Before:
[Position]
pos_x=-1
pos_y=22
pos_w=1277
pos_h=604

After:
[Position]
pos_x=-1
pos_y=22
pos_w=1285
pos_h=614

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?

skwire · « **Reply #240 on:** March 04, 2009, 05:38 AM »

v1.0.2 build 188
+ All Play Modes are now hotkeyable items. [Thanks, genmce]
! Trout will now remember if it was maximized and will properly set itself on startup.
[Thanks, Hezzu]

v1.0.2 build 186
* Search/jump now highlights the top row automatically. [Thanks, hezzu]
* 'Resume playback on start' option now remembers play/pause state. [Thanks, brotherS]

No, never touched any of those settings either. Strange...

Are you still having those odd saving issues?

brotherS · « **Reply #243 on:** March 04, 2009, 08:34 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.

v1.0.2 build 192
* The default 'Explore here' option (Windows Explorer) should now highlight the selected
file. [Thanks, app103]
! Fixed 'Remove track after playback' functionality broken in build 186. [Thanks, app103]
! Fixed sizing issue on startup. [Thanks, brotherS]

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).

just installed this baby and i think is gonna be my default audio player from now on. usually i praise a "free coder" for such simple things that i could've praise you only for drag and drop on a tiny little bar with the basic play/pause buttons, but this thing really is amazing! the thing that struck me most was to have a dedicated window for settings (lots of them, going to neat details, for a free program), when i usually expect basic settings available only in drop-down menus. really, this app is so awesome that i feel quite ashamed to ask for more. but hear me out

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.
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.

another option would be "open file location", like wmp, or, to be original, "go to file". but is ok as it is already.

see this thread https://www.donation....msg145491#msg145491 for some thought's on ipods but also some software recommendations if you do choose the ipod route...
