Ok no problem, resizable panes are part of the tonight's release?

No. It's not ready for the world yet. That's why I have to rollback to code which doesn't contain resizable panes to provide your fix.

You're the best! Have you received the FR translation file i sent you ?

I published build 627 which should fix your issue (it fixes it on my computer :) (that's a classic)): http://www.digimezzo.com/content/software/dopamine/previews/

Let me know how things go. I'll wait before making a public announcement.

Yeah it really fixes the issue! very nice fix, it has never been this fast!

Thank You!

 

Edit: Dopamine freezes when i change track very fast.

Thanks. That's an older problem. I plan to handle it is a audio engine update very soon.

Is it just me or the whole "Now Playing" section has vanished into thin air with build 627?

 

By the way, I need to check the Spanish translation and update it where necessary.

 

PS: Sorry for the absence throught the last couple of weeks, but I had no PC at all for over a month :(

My motivations to change it:

 

- I needed room for the cloud menu item

- I thought it was kind of out of place in the menu above as it is a different screen that the others in that menu

- The mini players also have a "hamburger" menu to show the now playing list

 

But still, these are previews, so further modifications will probably happen.

No problem. The other guys kept me busy :rofl:.

 

Resizable panes are coming along well. Bad news though. Next week I'm on business trip and that usually means next to no programming :(. So the next build will not be next week. I'll release a new build once resizable panes is stable. And after that, I dive into the world of the audio engine. Because I feel it could use quite some improvements.

clicking in the player box to take you to now playing is the best idea I have heard so far =)  Although it looks like there is still plenty of room for Now Playing at the top...

Not on the minimal allowed window size. And I'm not doing any sizing or scaling in that menu, it's rather dumb :) (maybe something for later). And some languages have incredibly long texts for Artists, Albums,...  :)

on the audio front, would it be easy enough for it to somehow show the sound mapper, or choose outputs via whats available via windows settings? 

 

for example, say in playback devices you have 3 sound output options, e.g Main speakers via sound card, possibly HDMI output and USB headphones.

Each one can be a separate playback device in windows, and technically each one could be an output for Dopamine, as long as it just talks directly to say "sound mapper", no point redesigning something windows does anyways. 

 

Ive started using it at work for music while i work via my external drive, so many of my end users have asked me wtf is this dopamine! :D its getting a lot of positive noise. 

 

You deffo have a winner here Raph, but we all know this allready :)

all dopamine has to do is check every heartbeat which sound device is 'default' and switch to whatever device is default if that changes, shouldn't be too hard to implement as every other sound program I use does this automatically.

Actually, it's not because others do it, that it is easy to implement :) Otherwise it would be there already. I added polling of the audio device (I listened to a "DeviceChanged" event from windows). What happened when changing the default device, the DeviceChanged event fired multiple times instead of just once, each time passing through another device id. So I had to filter out the correct device id, track if the default device was already passed through and so a next change is not needed anymore. Once I got that figured out, I had to notify the Dopamine audio engine to remember the current track and its position in the track, then stop playing, then start playing the same track on the new default device and then skipping to the correct position. This is the only way to transparently swich to the new audio device. It failed at step 1: stop playback. It seemed to stop during the switching of the audio devices, which is too soon and crashed because of that. So I had to introduce a manual delay. That worked better, but not always. Then I decided to delay this feature for later as it was starting to take a lot of time. I have other work to do on the audio engine (an almost a complete rewrite of playback logic), so I'll take this task back up when starting that work.

 

This is what I'd like to achieve:

 

1. Have a listbox containing a list of the available audio devices and allow the user to choose on which device to play

2. If the default device is chosen, Dopamine should try to continue playing on the default device, even if it changes

3. As soon as the chosen non-default device disappears, Dopamine should continue playing on the default audio device

 

This will cost at least a few full delays of development work. Split over the time I have available for Dopamine each day (2 hours per night if I stretch it), you can imagine it will require some time to get right.

Thank you for the heads up, guys!

 

Raphaël, I've been reading the latest messages and you're quite right when stating you've been busy. Anyway, I'll try to check the Spanish translation today and see what's missing :yes:

Thanks for checking the translation :) I'm looking forward to it.

Just got build 627 and not sure if me or others have this same issue, but when a song is playing it will stutter when I'm selecting different artists in the artists tab.  I have the albums setup as by year and it seems to stutter during a selection of a artist (doesn't seem like it depends on number of albums or songs as I see it for 1 versus 10 albums).

Same here, the album display process is very slow now as it didn't use to be and it makes the music stutter when browsing the albums list =(

I have almost 15, 000 songs.  It seems like it doesn't matter how fast I click a new artist.  If I wait a bit then click or just click between them fast, every so often a stutter happens.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
