Alpha 0.5.8a Build 7247 RC2 [Alpha 999]
This is the Alpha 999 release candidate 2.
Many of the changelog items were re-ordered, so please re-read the Alpha 999 part of whatsnew.txt.
This build contains countless performance updates, in addition to the usability updates. The application should start and exit much, much faster, besides being much more responsive.
Give this a good test-run!
This is also the last test build before the final public Alpha release!
Continuation of these threads:
Build 70xx Performance Blind Test
Build 7053 (Alpha 999 RC)
Build 6980 (Alpha 999)
Thanks!

Works good!
Apart from the inability to remove nonexistent bookmarks, it's good to go.
Great work, as you know already!

Congrats Tom, you tackled the closing-issue on my system.
Closes almost instantly now!!!
Created a folder, bookmarked, refreshed, deleted folder, refreshed, folder becomes greyed out, unckecked bookmark via right-click, refreshed, folder disappears from the bookmark list..
Great work, indeed!

If you create them now, it seem to work. The old one aren't checked, so can't remove.
Bookmarking it again will make a dupe.
I can just make a new profile, no worries.

Strange, mine loses focus but doesn't activate anything, will try some more.

-It doesn't work for me too, for replicate the bug. I play a song in a folder, then i navigate on a another folder, and right click on the desired file that i want to see the folder on my explorer.
The bug is there .
The folder which is opening is the folder of the song played and not the file that i want to see on my explorer.
-I don't know if it's a "bug" but if i play a file, and i navigate on an another folder. If this file in current playing go the end if the song. the next song played is not the next song on the same folder, but a song on the folder that you explore.
I can replicate the bug as i want.
I know that my english is bad, tell me if you understand me
Edit1: I also notice that the numbers list columns don't work very well. It list the file on a kind of sequence, but it don't fit with my folders. I mean, imagine a folder with a music album. I want to play the files with the correct order. The software can't do that because the order of sequence is read differently.

Re: Build 7247 (Alpha 999 RC2)
Not quite the same, but that issue is also happening for me, current playing song's folder opens regardless of folder you're in.

Re: Build 7247 (Alpha 999 RC2)
Well, it's not a bug, but obsolete behavior: in fact it uses the actively playing file.
I have just recently improved selections a lot and it now does make sense to improve this behavior as well. Will look into it today.
About the numbering issue, well yeah, I can see how this might be confusing. The # column was originally intended to be used for playlists only and right now it really is just the unsorted order in which Windows is reporting the files. At the point of listing I don't know the track number from the file tags (e.g. ID3v2) yet.
I'll think of something and do some tests. At worst I'd add another column for tag track #.

Re: Build 7247 (Alpha 999 RC2)
Sorry I haven't had chance to respond to the various test builds lately. Been really busy with work. I'll try and give this a good test and report back asap.
I do have some thoughts on the mouse / volume behavior - whether it might be more useful to use the mouse wheel for precision seeking on the waveform e.g. roll to advance 1 second, rather than for volume control.
I think it might be useful also to make the mouse roll on time display behavior work so that the time seek increments are much smaller or maybe we can define these in the options e.g. 1 sec, 2 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec etc. I think they are 6 seconds right now?
I assume this is coincidence here but I use the shuffle mode a lot, playing back folders of a few hundred tracks. It seems to end up playing a few of the same tracks quite often despite there being a large pool to choose from.
Logic tells me random is exactly that and this is coincidence over anything to do with the build code but I thought i'd note it.
Is there a way to implement shuffle so that it doesn't select a track that has previously been played in a single session?
I'll hopefully report back on the performance of this build by this week. Sorry.

Re: Build 7247 (Alpha 999 RC2)
Shuffle mode isn't implemented yet, it's grey atm.
Random is like dice, shuffle is like a deck of cards.

Only issue here is problem with the track numbers. Everything else seems to be working as expected.

Re: Build 7247 (Alpha 999 RC2)
That's intended, as Resonic is primarily a folder player. This would only improve with the introduction of playlists.LopDog wrote:-I don't know if it's a "bug" but if i play a file, and i navigate on an another folder. If this file in current playing go the end if the song. the next song played is not the next song on the same folder, but a song on the folder that you explore.
Well, as long as the file names are numbered (which is the default for my archive, at least) you can always sort by file name. I think it's very bad practice to just use ID3 tags for track numbering.I mean, imagine a folder with a music album. I want to play the files with the correct order. The software can't do that because the order of sequence is read differently.
I'll most likely add a "track number" column in one of the next updates, because I'm already reading the ID3 track numbers.

Well, thanks for letting me know!JamesEW wrote:Sorry I haven't had chance to respond to the various test builds lately. Been really busy with work. I'll try and give this a good test and report back asap.
Sooner or later I will have to add in mouse button/wheel customization options, because there are too many combinations and I'd let the user decide.I do have some thoughts on the mouse / volume behavior - whether it might be more useful to use the mouse wheel for precision seeking on the waveform e.g. roll to advance 1 second, rather than for volume control.
It's a fraction of the total length right now, but an option for this will happen, yes.I think it might be useful also to make the mouse roll on time display behavior work so that the time seek increments are much smaller or maybe we can define these in the options e.g. 1 sec, 2 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec etc. I think they are 6 seconds right now?
Yes, but I need to complete playlists first, then I'll go for some proper shuffling code. Maybe an indication that a file has already been played.Is there a way to implement shuffle so that it doesn't select a track that has previously been played in a single session?

Re: Build 7247 (Alpha 999 RC2)
I hear you on the random / shuffle difference. I thought this was the case. I look forward to the shuffle implementation!
Just to add, performance of this build seems stable to me, opening and closing the application is fast, loading waveforms too.
The show in explorer (both options) works well for me. Is there a way to make multiple selections of tracks and show in explorer so that all are highlighted instead of the first selection?
Edit - "It doesn't work for me too, I play a song in a folder, then i navigate on a another folder, and right click on the desired file that i want to see the folder on my explorer, The folder which is opening is the folder of the song played and not the file that i want to see on my explorer." This is the same on mine but I see your aware of this now.
I think this is intentional but when you resize the window to a small size, the volume bar turns into a thin line. I think this was mentioned previously? Its not a problem for me but maybe this could be placed vertically and scale in the same way as the level meters.
That said, i'm sure there are many more important elements to work on at the moment and volume is completely functional and easy to use.

Yep, added this just yesterday. It'll be in the public release.JamesEW wrote:Is there a way to make multiple selections of tracks and show in explorer so that all are highlighted instead of the first selection?
This is a visual bug and not intended: the controls wrap into a second line, what you see is the top part of the volume bar. I'm still not sure how to fix this, might have to replace the whole toolbar sooner or later. Until I have a solution this is on low priority.I think this is intentional but when you resize the window to a small size, the volume bar turns into a thin line.

Re: 7247 - Alpha 999 RC2
problem: shift-right click on a file (to get the windows menu instead of the resonic menu)...go to Properties, and rename the file. then go back to resonic. file is not renamed on screen, and will not play either.
