--I don't think removing the minimum buttons in AW works at all.  Navigation is now fairly dysfunctional, particularly as playing now and tree views won't share nicely.  Have you guys tried this?  If you want to go back and forth between a playlist and playing now you have to search through "build playlist/edit playing now" every time you want to get to it.

Nice fixes thanks, but my Bug is still exist.

Get Tags from Filenames does not function in another language except English.
it does nothing when i use german, french, etc.

In the dialogue the translated words for are artist, TRACK etc., indicated however mc used here the English words.



MC should the translated words from language.txt use here.

Bugs for MC 12.0.50

  • Not sure if this is an MC or a G-Force or an MC bug, but with G-Force running, the right click menu on the display window doesn't work correctly. Same goes for the display menu in Display View.
  • Click on the DSP Studio button.

While DSP Studio's open, right click on the DSP Studio button.
Now close the DSP Studio window.
On my system, MC pops behind all of the other open windows.
  • MC doesn't remember its size when returning from a non-maximized Display View
  • MC doesn't remember its size when you have "Minimize to System Tray" set, MC is minimized, and then you close MC from the tray icon's menu
  • Whenever I go to "Add Folder To Library" it always has the folder I last added in the box. Shouldn't it clear it out from one addition to the next?
  • Occasionally when I exit, MC12 will go into "stupid mode" where it's trying to save tag changes to some file (it never tells me which one) and it can't. This wouldn't be so bad except that it never seems to give up, so I have this "Saving tag changes (1 remaining)" message on my screen forever and the only way to get out of it is to kill the MC12 process. And of course then I never get a message telling me what file it couldn't update the tag for, so I can't ever fix it.
  • The Noire Theater View skin's underpants are showing... (I'm assuming... the blue menus don't seem to really fit, so I'm assuming they're left overs from the original Hairstyle skin?)

[/list]

Requests
  • Any chance that menu transparencies could be a Skin Effects setting rather than force users to dig for and edit an XML file to change transparency settings or turn then on or off for a skin?
  • In a Detailed view of Albums, the total number of tracks for an album is displayed under the "Track #" field. Wouldn't it be better to have that field called "Tracks" or "# Tracks" in that view?
  • And since we have these new details views, can we get smarter columns? For instance, in an Artist/Album view scheme, when your at the Artist level in Details mode, rather than <varies>, how about the number of albums for that Artist? Same goes for any view scheme... like Genre/Artist/Album, how about the Genre name, followed by the number of Artists, number of Albums, etc?
  • Any chance that the Display AW could have seperate settings than the main Playing Now? It would be great to have a Track Info displayed when you're in Playing Now, but then just show Images when you're not in Playing Now. Actually, it would be great if we could show both at the same time.

that may have been a problem i had when MC was stuck

--Tag (window) is still the only window in the left side (or anywhere in MC-land) that doesn't obey accelerated wheel scrolling.

--New Tag (window) seems to load slower than previous versions.  I'm guessing this is because it has to load the entire set of tags, as opposed to user-defined subsets, as before.  At any rate this "seems slow", at least at a first pass.

--I can confirm Doof's display view non-maximized/not remembering thing, FWIW.

--I'm having trouble getting MC (and WMP) to play my DVDs, which I blame on a personal issue.  However, one aspect of this is that the "DVD Player" expands to a 2-inch rectangle in the upper left corner and stays there, burrowed in like a tick.  No border, no explanation, just 2 inches of black space.  Any of this ring a bell?

Bug or am I stupid?
In Tag, I added [Keywords] to the tag window. THen I clicked on [Keywords] and checked two to the current file (not playing). Closing that window I returned to Tag, but the checked keywords weren't there. So I went into [keywords] again and they were not checked anymore.

1.  Alt-1 Goes to Start? should this be updated to reflect new design
2.  Using [disc #] in thumbnail text does not work
http://img88.imageshack.us/my.php?image=discgoneuj4.png

(In that view I could use [Name] which works(Which I still believe is wrong), but
the effect is global anyhow, where ever you use [disc #] nothing comes up?)
3. There's no hover state for the close button in Frame Windows
4. The following causes a button to remain in the mouse down state even tho the mouse button is no longer down in a Frame Window:
> Click Button
> Move mouse away from button without releasing click
> Once away from button release click
5.  In Display view when Maximized there is no minimize button.
When in windowed display view there is a minimize button,
surely either it has one or it doesn't?
