tool-tip work under "album" but not under "songs"

 

oh i see the option now  :huh:

"Ignore files which were previously remove from the collection"

basically, Remove songs which have broken links (no longer on disk) if so great

 

Ohw, ok, that's correct. There is no tooltip on the songs screen. I'll create a task to remind myself about that. :)

About removing songs. Originally (= in earlier builds), removing a folder also removed all songs from that folder. But, for playlists support (which adds songs which are not necessarily in a collection folder) the songs should not be deleted if they are not found in a collection folder when the indexer is started, I had to make sure those wouldn't get deleted. So I checked out what several other music players were doing. Most of them added and monitored songs which are in specified folders, but never deleted the files if the folders were removed from the collection. Most of them allow removing songs manually. One of them (banshee) keeps track of removed songs and doesn't try to re-add the on the next scan. With dopamine, I give you the option to re-add them or not with the "ignore removed files" option.

Hey Raphael,

 

I downloaded the latest copy of Dopamine. I updated my copy on my external HDD.

 

Now, I have this;

Clicking the button does nothing. When I load Dopamine up, it sits there for hours trying to update my collection, which is on the same drive. At home, I have this same problem.

Clicking the button does nothing. When I load Dopamine up, it sits there for hours trying to update my collection, which is on the same drive. At home, I have this same problem.

 

I have a few questions:

 

- Can you tell me exactly what you're doing? (the steps)

- Is the progress ring spinning endlessly on the dopamine logo when you clock the button?

- Can you execute these steps in order:

 

1. close dopamine

2. go to the directory %appdata%\Dopamine\Log

3. delete Dopamine.log

4. launch dopamine

5. Press the Refresh now button

6. Wait 5 minutes

7. Send me the logfile

Looks like I figured out what happened. The drive letter changed from D:\ to E:\. System was searching for music on a drive that didn't exist, haha.

That is good news. One less thing to worry about :) I'm getting back home today. I'll be able to finish the new mini players soon. Stay tuned.

Awesome! I've been looking forward to it. Also, I've got a few co-workers hooked on Dopamine.

Ever thought about releasing an auto-updater for it?

 

There is already an auto updater. You'll notice a subtle notification in the top left dopamine icon (the same place that indicates indexing) when an update is available.

Will this play .pls radio streams yet?

 

Nope

a day or two? :shiftyninja:

 

You're right, I owe you guys an explanation :) I got ill on business trip last week and thought it was getting better. However it wasn't... I've been ill most of this week but it's starting to get better. So I'll most likely be able to pick up development where I left off, soon.

Take your time and get better, we can wait.

 

 

 

Yay! I'm not alone.  :)

It's amazing how much I miss having an easy access to the lyrics. It doesn't sound like such a big deal but as a singer and a guy with poor English I'm used to check out the lyrics all the time.

 

Just noticed your sig so thought I would mention;

 

"It's amazing how much I miss having an easy access to the lyrics"

 

Trust me, your English is much better than my Spanish :) I spent 8 days in Argentina a few years ago and everyone I met could speak perfect English.

Sounds important to me. I'll look into it after the Nano player is finished.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
