I've always seen it as it's own button in other media players (and I'd personally prefer that as I don't using ratings)

I think I can add that. I'll have to remove the heart rating system and use the hearts for last.fm love. I think nobody will miss them :), star rating is most popular.

I will miss it... I use it as I don't like the star method, but I will do what I have to do :p

Issue created: https://github.com/digimezzo/Dopamine/issues/176. Planned for 1.2 release. Unless I bump into serious challenges.

Do you like to add this? :happy:

I think it's a little more pleasant, beyond being a small detail, personally, I find a little odd the very square interfaces :dontgetit:

You're doing a great project (Y)
Sorry if my english is not good :unsure:

Awesome :) This was pretty much the only feature I was missing from dopamine

 

I just wanted to say I really appreciate what you've done with dopamine. It's coming along really nicely and is my main audio player now, most polished interface out of any windows media player and has some nice features (I love the recently added album art download function)

Not sure. I'd have to try it out first and see the effect on the rest of the player. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it :)

Better?

 

I don't think it looks quite right as the curves are not equal to the other curves and they can't be due to the letter placement. I personally think it's ok as it is.

 

Now actual album selection on the other hand... I'm still not very keen on the blue filter big tick over the artwork.

What do you mean not equal? I copy and pasted them, so that are exactly the same. And they match the search bar.

Not sure if I'm 100% sold on the idea myself, but I don't think it looks bad.

Maybe it's just deceptive to my eye because they are further out than the letters. When aligned equally then the text is tight inside the curve.

ok, I see what you mean.

 

I did move the highlight slightly to the left or right in order to give enough padding around the text. It would have been better to indent the heading text instead.

Hi all. Thanks for you mock ups! I'm not sure I like any rounding in the selections yet though. I'll let the idea mature in my head first :) 

Meanwhile, a new preview of Dopamine is available:

 

Dopamine 1.2 Build 753 (Preview)

 

- [Added] Added lyrics support (edit lyrics + screen to display lyrics while playing) - [Added] Added an option to modify how much volume changes when scrolling with the mouse on the volume bar - [Added] Collection refresh on startup is now optional - [Changed] "See you later" screen when closing is only displayed when there are background tasks remaining - [Changed] Improved the "Follow song" description as it was confusing - [Changed] Improved the quality of the cloud screen covers - [Fixed] Dopamine now respects Windows case insensitivity for files and folder names

When upgrading from a previous preview build, you might bump into the "Oops" screen at startup. If you click the "Show details" button on that screen, you notice that Dopamine complains that Dopamine.db.old already exists. That is because this build tries to update your database to the latest version, but before doing that, it creates a backup of it, under the file Dopamine.db.old

 

I forgot to make it delete the previous .old file before creating a new one. That causes this error. You can resolve it by deleting the file %appdata%\Dopamine\Dopamine.db.old manually and then starting Dopamine again. I'll fix this issue for the next preview.

What kind of lyric it supports? The embedded one? or .srt file?

Just attempted to install the latest preview and now it won't start, when I click show details I get....

 

Quote

The file 'C:\Users\pmciver\AppData\Roaming\Dopamine\Dopamine.db.old' already exists.

 
 

Something I did wrong?

 

EDIT: To work around it, I renamed Dopamine.db.old to OldDopamine.db.old and tried again and it's opened up fine this time around, let me know if you need anything more.

He is fixing this with next release, a couple of posts above yours he discusses this :)

Next preview will add a "Love" button, which can send "Love" & "Unlove" to Last.fm, if you provided a Last.fm account and if you're signed in. The rating and love buttons can independently be shown and hidden in the settings.

Hi all,

 

A new preview of Dopamine v1.2 is available. This is the change log:

 

– [Added] Added a ‘Love’ button which can send ‘Love’ and ‘Unlove’ requests to Last.fm
– [Changed] Sorting by album on the Songs screen now respects the track order inside an album
– [Changed] Updated the Greek translation
– [Fixed] Fixed “Follow the Windows color”. It was broken since version 1.1.
– [Fixed] Fixed a bug where lyrics from MiniLyrics didn’t work because they’re using 2 digits for milliseconds instead of 3

 

You can download it over here.

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
