======================
slideshow playbackstretch small images, no
scale large images, yes
5 second delay,
no effects
transitions enabled (all of 'em)
caption: if(isempty([caption]),if(isempty([events]),if(isempty([places]),[subject],[places]),[events]),[caption]) (formatdate([date,0],dd MMMM yyyy))
After just a few images, the process becomes:
display image with caption
change caption to that of the next image
start transition > show next image
the problem is that the time between the caption changing, and the new image showing gets longer, giving the slideshow a rather disjointed feel, not unlike trying to watch a movie with out-of-sync audio
======================
expression based fieldsIs
this expected behaviour?
It has become markedly slower since build 47.
======================
IPTC tag writingpossible problem?======================
thumbnails..Place the cursor on the bottom toolbar. If there is thumbnail text just out of view, ie, behind the toolbar, the thumbnail fades out to reveal its
play tag stuff.
Place another application window on top of MC, and notice that even though it's not the active window, MC is still tracking and reacting to the cursor position.
======================
Action WindowZoom in on a list type field, [people], for example, and select an image in the list. Use the cursor keys to move selection to another image. The file list has now lost focus.
======================
Action Window > Camera > Aquire.avi files are not being aquired from the camera. (
Discuss?)
======================
extended desktopThe TV is the secondary display device, and in the display setup, it's configured to the right of the monitor. MC's tooltips do not detect the right edge of the monitors' display area and instead, display out of view in the extended desktop area.
The context menus know where the edge is, and display to the left if there's not enough room to the right. Hopefully tooltips can be given the same 'awareness'.
======================
Command line stuffmc12.exe "/playreplace TREEPATH=Playlists\viewscheme groups\Logitech\preset1"
The string above works fine if MC is running. If MC is closed, the string launches MC, but does nothing else.
v11.1 would launch and begin playback.
======================
3D visualisations ~ curious to know if anyone else sees this?
3D vizualisations are only running @ 2 fps, and make MC slow to respond. This is running MC maximised on a 1680 x 1050 screen. If I hide the tree and the file list it drops to zero fps and the pc becomes unuseable.
Setting the application window to 800 x 600, hiding the tree and the filelist, framerate is still only 4 fps. This makes 3D pong unplayable :p

======================
display view/taskbar issueNote: My taskbar is along the bottom of the screen, double height..
Display view opens behind the taskbar. It requires a click on the taskbar, then a click on the disply, to bring the display to the front of the taskbar.
I thought this was fixed, but it's not. Try it with some music playing too.
======================
Display View: (
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=34771.0)
When in display view, images are presented fullscreen with the 'display frame' laid over the top of the image. The display bar across the top can often obscure essential details in the image.
When using two split views, activate the second view and launch display view (by double clicking an image?). When returning to standard view, focus has switched to the other view in the split.
======================
Tree Stuff:Any root view scheme alphabetically lower than 'audio' can still displace the 'tabs' from their top-level resting place. <--- You fixed this? looks much better nownot fixed. placement now differs depending upon which icon is chosen for the viewscheme. "scheme" achieves the desired result. choosing any other wrecks the tree.
These are still a problem, especially the Playing Now thing..
Playing Now is also still wandering around within the tree window as things are expanded/collapsed
Finding it hard to train myself that the expansion arrows for top level tree nodes are on the right. As you widen the tree, the expanders move further and further
away from their relative text items, then, after expanding, subsequent expanders are to the left of their text items. Maybe I'll get used to it, but atm, it doesn't
make drilling around in the tree a very smooth experience.
I'm still not getting on well with the tree in its current form.
===========
Navigation'navigation' seems a tad redundant in its current form. The only thing there that would be out of place on the root of '
View' would be 'find media' which
could probably find a home on the tools menu.
Are there any plans to introduce some form of bookmarking in future builds? It's such a convenient way of getting where you want to be, quickly. Think "My Computer"
locations, or certain smartlists that may be two or three groups deep in the tree? Think jumping about in dual view mode?
still lost without bookmarks. Navigation is sooo slow and tedious.===========
