Basically what I am asking for is to copy a single folder to a new computer and have all you playlists appear. Regular and smart playlists. Moving the mp3's is easy. Rebuilding playlists takes alot of time.

 

Brainstorming time! (That means I like the idea, but I want you to tell me whether or not I'm going in the right direction).

 

- Moving the audio files would be a manual action

- Dopamine could provide a "backup" option, which creates a backup of your collection information (tracks, albums, artists, ratings, playlists, optionally cached album art) to 1 compressed backup file. After you've copied the mp3 files to the same location where they were on the first pc (tracks are path-sensitive), that backup file could easily be restored on the new dopamine on your new pc, using a provided "Restore" option

 

Backup and restore in dopamine would then be just a few clicks.

 

Would this do?

Hi, i really like the app so far, really looks good.

can i ask for a feature that i don't believe i saw so far requested? when you add songs into the "watch folders", can it automatically add them to the library? i have to shut the app off and back on again to recognize new music.

thanks

interesting concept considering and forgive me for even mentioning this name but Media player for windows has a simple screen as well. but yours is more functional looking IMHO.

 

xekeaa.png this media player for windows is UUuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly! yours seems more modernized and up to date with the times.

 

Looks good to me.

if you grab a newer version, dopamine automatically adds your new musics. there's that dopamine tear drop looking symbol. if you look at that after adding music, you'll see the same working symbol like that of booting into windows 10TP. the circles going around, that's synapse adding the new music. You have to have the newer build though as synpase has been improved

Because I didn't find any setting of using it, and when playing I was still able to control player volume from taskbar volume ( windows mixer ). And playing other sounds on PC interferes with the music.

 

Indeed. There are no options yet (probably for later)). It is playing through WASAPI shared mode, not exclusive mode. Which is why other sounds interfere. I had issues with exclusive mode and disabled it for now.

When is the next build coming Rapha

Nice. You should post some of the looks so we can vote on it. Or try and get some help from some of us designers on here.might make the process faster and easer for you.

 

You're just impatient to see some progress, aren't you? :rofl: Don't worry, you're right :) Here is a screenshot of the current state of the songs screen. The table header still needs styling.

It is not the design that is giving me headaches. It is the styling of the datagrid. It is very powerful, but doesn't make it any easier to style.

Also that popup you see in the middle of the screen. It cost me 3 evenings to make. Just because I wanted a generic popup windows which allows me to reuse the frame, title design and fading of the main window on other windows by just providing custom content. It takes more time the first time, but makes the code cleaner and speeds up adding other popups on other screens.

 

 

This will be the changelog of the next build. Not so much, but better than nothing :)

 

- Fixed a small glitch on the Mini Player

- Fixed a bug where double clicking the ScrollBar starts playing songs

- Added a Songs screen

BTW has anyone from MS contacted you about it? 

 

Of course not :) They have enough talented people over there, which do an even better job than me. However I'm a bit worried when I see the latest Windows 10 screenshots.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. Look it up and keep it. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays.

The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
