I've tested the method you did: cut a hole and live the piece as the nocover. It worked here. The procedure to load the case and the cover is the same. It's probably a transparency issue with your "nocover.png". Please, check your files.
Oh wow. For some reason, I was creating PNGs with "peculiar" settings. Changed everything back to normal and now it works. Awesome, I apologize if I caused any trouble.
that transparent skin is pretty cool......
Thanks, but I don't plan on releasing it as it's just my port of the Lucid 1.2 Rainlendar skin by thechunkster.
Oh, and as a side note, I have the "Play when start" option enabled, and everytime I apply changes to WCC settings, winamp starts playing a song.
Any news on this issue? I love keeping WCC on my desktop even when I'm not running winamp.

Oh, and is there a reason as to why I never see the "searching" image unless I'm conducting a manual search? :huh:

Edit: Yeah, confirmed. It just freezes on the last cover (the hourglass cursor appears when I mouseover it) until it finds the cover...

noroom,

1) The issue is already fixed. I'll post another build tomorrow (27 Mar 2006)

2) "searching" and "nocover" images: as I said it's just a matter of design. Just create a transparent png (no draw at all) for "searching" and "nocover". You'll only see the case of course. ;)

In addition, the freeze while searching is still necessary.

Thank you for your feedback!

Glad to hear about the coming build.

And about the "searching" image, I think you misunderstood me. What I said was that I never see it! And I want to! I created a searching image, but it never comes up. The only way I can make it appear is selecting to do a manual search. Then the image is shown for as long as I keep the search window open. But under normal use, when WCC needs a cover that hasn't been downloaded yet, it doesn't show the "searching" image. It just shows the image from the last played album until the new image is downloaded. And this happens with all the skins.

WCC RC2 Build 411 (27 Mar 2006)

- Added cover/case order in "Skin Manager>Case and Cover" (*)

- Fixed drop cover bug

- Fixed "Exit when player is ended" bug

- Fixed Web radio bug

- Fixed automatically download and "searching" image bug

(*) you can select whether case or cover should be placed at front (default is Case at front)

RC3 is almost there! Thank you all for your feedback!

Ahh, this is my favorite desktop gadget ever. :D Great work!

I noticed in my CD Covers folder that some are being saved as "Artist - Album.jpg", the way it should be, but some are saved as "Artist - Album .jpg", with a space after the album title. Maybe you should trim both artist and titles before using that as a name. Also, sometimes some covers get saved as "Artist - .jpg", with a blank album title.

Do you think you can look into that?

Hi Carlos!

That's weird, I only have "Artist - .jpg" for some covers, and with EVERY cover that doesn't have an album title, there's also a cover named "Artist - Album.jpg". Maybe it's because I have several songs from one album, but still... I don't know, I guess it's not that important. But some album covers are still saved as "Artist - Album .jpg", with a space after the album title. Just do a Trim() of the artist and album before looking for the file/saving it and the problem should be solved. (1)

Carlos, do you think you can add an option to conduct an external search? Sometimes the built-in cover finder doesn't find the cover for an album because it's not on amazon. In those cases, I think it would be great if we could right click and select "Manual Search" or "External Search" and WCC would then launch an IE window that points to the google image search of "album" "title" (with quotes around the artist and the album title, for more precise results). That way we can click an image, and then drag it directly to WCC and we're done. (2)

I was playing with WCC and I realized the context menu is a bit big. I recommend sorting it in categories, like:

----------------------------------

Playback > Previous | Play/Pause | Next

Rate Song > (stars)

Open folder

----------------------------------

Cover > Search | View | Open folder | Delete

WCC > Options | Skin Manager | Lock Position | About

----------------------------------

Send to Tray

Exit

----------------------------------

The Open folder under Cover, would open the covers folder and go to the current cover, just like the Open folder for the song does. (3)

Also, the Minimize option doesn't do anything when WCC is pinned to desktop. Hide it? Disable it? Make it do something? (4) :)

Those are my 4 suggestions for this post. Hope I'm not giving you too much work! :p

noroom,

1) When I have time I'll see the "Trim" thing, since I'll have to place it in more than one line of code, then test... I have to fix the current bugs first.

2) It's possible. Something like Google?

3) It's big indeed. But I like it. It's faster that way at least for me. :)

4) Minimize x Pin to desktop: I forgot that! I'll fix it asp.

Thank you for your feedback!

1) Sure, but... I consider that to be a bug too :blush:

2) Yupp, that's what I said in my previous post. Google. I think it's important that WCC launches IE though, because drag&drop won't work with Firefox.

3) Aw, that's too bad. I was really hoping you'd be into making the popup menu nicer and smaller. What about the "Open folder" for the cover option? (read my previous post again)

4) Fixed now. Works great, thanks.

I'd really like to aid with the development. Would it be possible for me to join you in the programming?

How do I install this? Do I need to overwrite anything, or is at all included in that zip?

WCC RC2 Build 475 (30 Mar 2006)

- Added pad left/top for rating (*)

- Show time feature changed (*)

- Last reported bugs fixed

(*) go to "Skin Manager>Notifier Lines" to adjust your current skin!

Download: http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wccrc2b475.zip

Have fun! :)

PS: "How do I install?" A: See Readme.txt inside the zip. RC3 is close then an installer will be provided.

The time (for now) can only be added at the end of main "Line one".

Use line one to show title plus time (e.g.: %title%) and line two for the rest (e.g.: %artist%%newline%%album%).

Maybe, just maybe in the future time will became a tag (%time%).

The current way is the fastest way to show time. "Fastest" means less CPU usage.

Also, how can I change the font size for each line?

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
