ok,

we're getting there I think. We still have the offset drag issue when dragging around the artists in the tree, it works fine in the playing now list though. Basically the outline of the object that you have dragged is about an inch above where the pointer is... very wierd. Although where the pointer is is where the item gets dropped.

Thumbnail problem fixed

[Ram1]

Hello... I'm currently about mid-way through the evaluation period for MC11, and I've come across a problem that I can't find in any of the threads between minor release 104 and this one (I also tried searching the bb).

In 104, I was able to stream both music and images from a Library Server over a wireless, as well as wired home network connection to my laptop, and both played simultaneously without issue.  Since that version (I've tried 111 and 116), I only get the music, while the images only show "Loading...".  It's as if the Library Server can't do a multi-threaded streaming to the client.  Is there a setting default that has changed that would cause this (I've looked exhaustively), or is this a bug that can be reproduced in someone elses similar setup? 

For the most part, I've been pleased with MC so far, but this capability is probably one of the most important feature requirements for me, as I plan on setting up a central server and many lightweight clients at various other entertainment centers around the house.

One other thing... when trying to uninstall 116, I kept getting an error about not being able to find an "associations file".  The uninstall only partially completed.  I resolved this by installing over the remaining 116 with a lower minor release (111) and then doing a full, successful uninstall.  I've reverted back to 104 until I hear more about the simultaneous music/image streaming issue.

Thx,

I have a playlist group here that contains 7 other groups. Each of those 7 groups contain many smartlists, both regular and expression based.

If I right click on the main parent group, it takes a full 30 seconds before the menu appears, and yes, I timed it.
My guess is that MC is calculating every smartlist and expression beneath the parent before showing the menu.
Is this by design?
The delay is only present the first time the group is right clicked in a session.

This has happened to me since the beginning of times 

It also happens when you've worked with a smartlist, have your playlists tree expanded and click on the small triangle left to the main playlist node to collapse it. It seems that clicking on that triangle at that time triggers the action of opening the Playlists node. Probably because of the size of my library I have been stuck waiting for several minutes before MC was responsive again, so I have developed a workaround consisting in changing the view, for example, to "Playing now" and only then clicking on the small triangle to collapse the playlist tree.... but sometimes I forget to do it that way.

About a year ago, I even asked for a "stop" button precisely to stop this things to happen.

I can't edit tags on low bitrate WAV files.  When I try, I get a message telling me that the rename operation failed, and it asks me to check for another program using the file or for for read only status.  Needless to say, another program is definitely NOT using the file, and the attributes and security settings all look normal -- i.e. I should have "full control" over these files.  This only happens on WAV files about 56kbps or below.  If the bitrate is higher, this does not happen.  This is the ONLY pattern I can find to this issue, and it seems quite consistant.

I don't think this has been reported before but I have seen this for a few versions now, the last one I had installed was 112 before 116, and it happened at least a few versions before that one. I use a Track Info page in Playing Now. If I have a song playing and then stop it, it still stays highlighted in the track list which is fine. However, if I go to another track and start playing that by double-clicking on it, the track info doesn't change. The only way I can get it to change is to change to another track info and then back again.

Deivit, what you're talking about isn't an issue with MC 11.1 anymore.  Try it and you'll see what I mean.

Marko, we're still brainstorming about the right-click menu.

Did this change recently? I'm not at home now and don't recall which build of 11.1 I'm using, but as soon as I get home tonight I will download the last one and let you know.

Thanks! 

[EDIT] Tried with my current version (11.1.111)... and it works!! I guess I haven't tried it lately. Thank you very much, Matt

Penfold,
Your post was split.

Still getting the long, "Not responding" issue at the end of every iPod sync.  This happens for all syncs, but it's particularly noticeable with "small" syncs since when synching a single song, the actual "copying" process takes only a few seconds, after which the system just sits there for about 1 minute while the task manager lists MC as "Not responding."  I understand if MC is still "doing something" during this time, but it would be nice if it said something to this effect rather than seeming to lock up with the song saying "uploading" the whole time.

Drag and Drop in the Playing Now View is now very buggy : I CAN'T drag a file from bottom to top of the list.

In previous build, drag and drop was very difficult to use in thumbnail mode : the list was moving too fast. When I had to move files, I used CTRL+X, CTRL+V instead... (impossible with the mouse)
I used mouse when I had to move a file "inside" the window (not in a far position)

But now, it's just impossible!!

Before, I thought this bug was just only very annoying, but now I just can't use the mouse to manipulate tracks in playing now.

Please fix it.
