Hi! Don't know yet. Basic first, then I'll have a look at what networking/online features I can add

As always beautifully executed, however it is still lacking "folder play' feature. I know this isn't how most folks organize their libraries but it is a must have for me. Not sure how hard would it be to add this feature though and is it worth the time. In any case great player that is getting better and better. Thx Raphael.

no need for a folder play feature when you select your album and its all on the right side panel. it has been months since I have been in these forums. But it is looking wonderful

Thanks! Folder play is the complete opposite of the current architecture. So it will take quite some time to add. I'll concentrate on what I planned first. But I'll sure have a look if folder play can be added sometime later.

Folder play is super useful when dealing with untagged library, and my library is mostly like that since it has been started way before online shops that tag the music by default. To tag the files manually would take forever (as auto taggers are just too unpredictable or not automated enough...and i did try almost all of them on Windows).

 

 

@Raphael..I assume for folder play that you would have to write some sort of simple browser and I am aware that takes time. Keep up the work, I check Dopamine regularly and am looking forward to further development.

Yes indeed. It's like creating a very simple explorer. I'm not a fan of allowing browsing from anywhere starting at "My computer". But I was thinking of letting "Folder playing users" also choose 1 or more Collection folders, then providing an extra screen "Files" or "Folders" and show a treeview which allows browsing through the files and subfolders inside those main folders. How does that sound?

Mainwhile, at the other side of the galaxy: I've been fixing some small annoyances (no build available yet):

 

27-12-2015: Dopamine 1.0.0.497 (Preview)

 

- The "Follow song" feature now only jumps to the playing song when it is not visible
- Added an option to start at the last selected screen

Oh no, what has Microsoft done this time . I'll have to install it in a VM to try it out. Thanks for notifying me.

Good job Raphael. Loving this build. One request though, please improve refreshing of the list after removing songs. Right now it's always jumping to the top of the list, quite annoying for me.

It's not just Dopamine.  I have had explorer windows turn up with black borders, too, even though my accent color is blue.  Going into the personalization>color settings (Windows) and changing my color to another color and then back seems to have fixed it.  I'm on the Insider track, though.  That's why I just set the color I like in Dopamine instead of following Windows.

That sounds like a Windows bug then. Thanks for the info.

I've got a new build for you. Most important: it fixes a nasty bug when updating covers in files from the "Edit album" dialog (it doesn't always work). This is the changelog:

 

28-12-2015: Dopamine 1.0.0.500 (Preview)
 

- The "Follow song" feature now only jumps to the playing song when it is not visible
- Added an option to start at the last selected page
- Fixed a bug when updating file covers through the "Edit album" dialog

 

Up next: rating support

You're right, I broke it. You need a quick fix or can this wait until the next build?

Funny statement, because your postings on the forums have been going on for months!

Is "open the last selected page at startup" supposed to be working already? It does nothing for me...

Yes is should. Only for Artists, Genres, Albums, Songs and Playlists pages. Now playing is not remembered. Those don't work for you?
