Several threads requiring discussion were split.

Hi, i can't install with this version the Musepack encoder plugin, i tried in the plugins page the normal way, and also the manual way and it won't install. i'm using internet explorer, i also tried firefox but nothing

When I'm exploring the Drives & Devices root in the left hand tree, and I start getting deep into the directory structure of my C drive, I eventually get to the point where I get too deep and the last thing in the list is an open folder icon followed by 2 inches of blank space, followed by the rest of the tree.

It sure would be nice if I could just scroll left and right in this frame to see the folders that are opened off to the right, instead of having to widen this frame.

Cheers,
Jeff

The musepack encoder no longer works with MC11   It won't work again until somebody updates it to the new encoder API...

I sure do miss the left-right scrollbar in the tree view, for the same reasons. It's a real pain to have to resize the pane (twice) in order to see the folders. Please bring back the scroll bar.

Here's a bug.  I'm not sure how long it's been in 11 - a few releases, I think.

1. Under Library tools/Convert Format/Convertor Settings. 
2. Enable location. 
3. Browse to somewhere, then press "Make New Folder".
4. Type in name of new folder.
5. Note that the path name at the top of the dialog box still says "New Folder", even after creating the new name.  if you leave it as is, it will actually store files in the folder named "New Folder", not the one you just created.
6. A simple work-around is once the directory is created, select a different directory and then go back to the newly created directory and all is fine again.

Minor problem, but a bug none-the-less.

Version .285 has difficulty scrolling through lists compared to versions .283 and .281.  A list of 200 or so entries in playing now cannot refresh as fast as the scroll bar can move.  Similarly, dragging and dropping is now slow to respond at the destination, compared to .283 and .281.

Here's another minor bug.  Or maybe it's a feature, but somehow I doubt it. 

1. Under View/Media Mode, change from the default view of "All Media" to "Audio".
2. Shut down MC.
3. Bring MC back up.
4. Note that this option is back to the default "All Media". The option doesn't "stick".

2. Shut down MC.
3. Bring MC back up.
4. Note that this option is back to the default "All Media". The option doesn't "stick".

MC has an option for that: Options > Startup > Startup Interface > Remember Media Mode
