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.

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
