Playlists support: complete

 

Hi everyone,

 

I realize it has been more than a month since a Dopamine build was released. When I started implementing playlists support last month, I suddenly remembered why I originally delayed creating the playlists screen. Adding playlists support requires a monstrous amount of work. A lot of the inner working have been reorganized, refactored. There is still some refactoring to do, but that is planned for after the next build is released. So what keeps me from releasing right now? Final testing! :)

 

Stay tuned!

This will be the changelog of the next build:

 

- Added Russian translation. Thank you Sveta Kindinova.
- Added a "Refresh now" button to refresh the collection on demand
- Fixed a bug where audio files were not recognized as audio files if their file extension is not lower case
- Added an icon for the Add/Remove Programs list
- Added Playlists support
- Added sorting in the album lists
 

As the next build is feature-complete it makes sense to share the translation files at this point. Could the translators take a look at them and complete them? Don't worry about timing. I'll probably release the next build before all translation files are completed. texts which are missing in some languages will just display english. I can release a newer build after all translation files have been completed. The files can be found here:

For the credits in the about screen, only one person contacted me, so I've decided not to show any names for now (that's no problem, I really understand if people prefer not go give away personal details, that was the reason of my question some days ago :)). But I've added a thank you note for you guys :)

I may be able to help you translate it into German, French, Danish, and potentially Japanese. I have several friends, and a lot of favors I can call in.

 

 

Also, if you ever need free webhosting, let me know! I'm more than happy to host your stuff!

 

For the translations: I love it! I'm already maintaining the french one myself, but for the rest, any help would be great.

Thanks for the webhosting proposal. For now I'm all set, but I'll remember this if I ever need it.

Mate, are you sure those are the right XML files for the translations? I've download the Spanish version "ES.xml" but what I see when I open it doesn't make much sense to me. I'm using Notepad++ to see the file. Sorry if it is a noob question, but I don't remember bumping into this when I first translated it.

 

Thanks! :)

 

Yes they are correct. Can you show me what you're seeing?

Sure thing.

I think you downloaded the source code of the website which contains the xml files :) It seems you cannot download the files individually by right clicking. In that case it doesn't download the file, but the webpage. You'll have to click the Download as zip button on the top right of the page. It will download a zip which contains all files. Or if you right click on ES.xml and choose "open in new tab" then on the new tab there will be a button to download the file individually.

One more thing, Raphael. The file for the Spanish translation doesn't include the text in English for the new fields. If it is too much of a trouble, I can compare it with the new English file, but I'm telling you this because it will take longer for the translations -not just the Spanish one- to be completed.

 

Cheers!

I fixed that now :)

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
