Hey, Raphaël!

I'd like to make two quick suggestions.

1. Add support to reproduce folders and not just files; this is very useful when we don't have playlists created and want to just play an album from the Windows File Explorer.

2. When we play a song from the File Explorer, I think it would make more sense to show "now playing" by default; or at least create an option for it if others and yourself disagree :D

Thanks for your amazing work, man!
Cheers!

1. How would that work (just brainstorming, I kinda like the idea). Drag and drop a folder on dopamine?

2. Also a neat idea. I'll see what I'll do (option or by default)

Thanks!

Not sure when it was added, but hte glow around the window in Win10 looks really cool 

A build or 2 ago, when I fixed maximizing. I'm glad you like it. It is optional, as I know people who don't like it :)

Context menu when we right click on a folder containing audio files, just the way Windows Media Player and VLC implement it ;)

Please make the hamburger list drop down track with the song being played...ie if I drop down the list and select a song and hit play...then put the list back up...later when I go to drop down the list have it open where the current song is being played please...

 

Please try out the Follow song feature. I think it does what you want :)

Oh! I missed that :) Thanks

Installed on a new machine, pointed to music folder on a networked pc, there is quite a long pause before there is any indication that there is anything happening.

Not really a problem, but I suppose a little Please Wait notice would be a nice touch.

I'll log a bug. So I don't forget about it.

I am using Windows 7 and I have the application pinned to my start menu and task bar, as well as a shortcut on my desktop.  Every time I install a new build of Dopamine all 3 of these items no longer work.  When trying to run the application from one of these methods after installing a new build I get a shortcut error saying "The parameter is incorrect".  I have to recreate the desktop shortcut and re-pin the application to the task bar and start menu in order for the shortcuts to work.  Do you know why this would be happening every time I install a new build?

I honestly have no idea. It did that on my computer a while ago, but since a few months my shortcuts remained OK after new installs so I have never looked into. I'll check if I can do anything about it.

In the meantime, Dopamine is getting a Windows 10 makeover (work in progress, note that not all buttons are changed yet):

I'm going to violate my earlier "keep it minimal as possible" and wonder if a sound normalization could be added to the process... Probably a long shot, but it would be nice.

Maybe. I'll check what this audio lib is capable of.

Oh no. Please keep the current playback control icons. This is what make Dopamine unique. And I think that it's more reachable because of it's size.

    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
