Title: Problems with plug-ins
Post by: Pink Waters on June 13, 2005, 04:10:06 pm
Still MC behavior is very slow (close to consider crashed) while any interface plugin is in use.

Can you provide more details? 

If these are third party plug-ins, please report the problems on that board.

No, I have no problems navigating MC when the PN window has appeared.

I'm not sure you should be able to navigate MC with the others... Maybe King can chime in here.

Well look, if you want to see this issue correctly,
1-load a transparent skin for the playing now (not the ones that slide).
2-while the playing now window is appearing or disappearing try to click on a file in any list in MC to see if it will be selected or not.

Tried it with

Trans 3.1
Transparent Background
Trans Opus          With TransOpus it won't change selection until the skin is gone, (when it starts to disappear)

This seems like maybe a problem with that particular skin....  I think Marko created this one.

Yeah sure,

well this happens here when using any of these plugins:
  • Lyrics Finder
  • Bios Finder
  • Chart Finder
  • Playing Now


Unfortunately, it is possible for third-party plug-ins to cause problems that MC can't prevent.  This may be the case in your situation.  It's very hard to know.

So, the plugin devoloper is the one that can prevent the slowness ?

Post by: JimH on June 14, 2005, 09:36:59 pm
Maybe, but if it's slow, uninstall the plug-ins.
