Quite a major update :)

 

How long has digimezzo been a thing?

Yeah quite some work and time went into this one. It's been an exhausting few weeks. A lot, which is not listen in the changelog as it concerns the internals, has changed under the hood: semantic zoom, indexing, update check, refresh after search, filling of lists. I should pause a bit after that build, but knowing myself I'll probably just dive into the next features :).  Digimezzo is new. The next build will be the first to be hosted over there. My blog will be phased out after some time.

Only 64 I'm afraid, I could spin up a 32 bit VM if you had a specific test ?

He is asking because he is getting ready to provide a native x64 version of Dopamine, it currently is x32.

I built it for x64 for the first time yesterday. The results are mixed:

 

- everything seems to work :) 

- no performance gain :(
- 2,5x more memory usage :(

 

I looked up the memory usage thing: actually it is not using all this memory, but .NET reserves these pages (it went above 400 MB yesterday). When built for x64, it has access to more pages and thus reserves more.

 

- The good news: as soon as another application needs that reserved memory, it is freed by windows.

- The bad news: lots of people will freak out when they open task manager.

 

Also, I don't want to maintain a 32 and 64 bit version. That's time that I'd rather spend writing the application. That means I might leave 32 bit people in the cold if going 64 bit.

Conclusion: for now it remains 32 bits. And I'll think a bit more about it.

Can you compile both 32 and 64 in app and the installation will detect then install the right version based on user's OS? (or user choose at the installation for that matter)

 

Or you can compile 32bit then next day 64bit ....   you can update either of those whenever you can.  You don't have to leave 32 bit app out.

 

I can stay 32 bit for stability. Once  64 bit gets stability down the road, then I will replace it.  Or I could use both ... for example, 32 bit on this one and 64 bit on other laptop..   something like that.

 

Up to you.

I'm in the mood of testing a new 32 bit preview tonight! :) or 64 bit :rofl:

Not tonight :) I'm not ready. This is the changelog, it got some extra fixes :)

 

- Dopamine is now a single process application. This reduces Windows Smartscreen notifications from 3 to 1 for the portable version.
- Migrated everything to www.digimezzo.com
- Improved user interface responsiveness and transitions
- Albums lists are much more performant
- Added Z-A sorting for songs
- Songs on disconnected disks are not removed from the collection anymore
- Indexing percent is replaced by number of files and total files indexed
- Song progress can be changed also when the song is paused
- It's possible to choose between 3 cover sizes for all album lists
- Slightly lower CPU usage when main window is visible
- Added WASAPI Exclusive Mode support

 

I'll now try to fix stuff and finalize and test what have. Otherwise this one will never get out the door :)

I would be more than happy to test a 64-bit version.

You wouldn't mind the massive amount of RAM usage? :D

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • 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.
