Nod, where have you been bean?

heh, I know, that's SO SAD, but I had to say it...

Take me away and lock me up now

Yeah! Bean is BACK! We missed you

@bean

I quite liked my idea from a while back, where the plug-ins would have to advertise all the formats they supported, and then the user could select which plugin to use for which format... that's a bit of work though.

Just being able to reorder the plugins list would be a very useful improvement.

Good to see you back anyway

@bean

Is ... is that really you? (wipes eyes in disbelief)

Oi, great to have you back ...

BTW, have you seen this?

@bean

Fantastic! I hope the red carpet gets back from the cleaners in time

Seriously though it would be nice to see you, did you know most of the club is now AOS4.x now? Only 2 users without.

@Raizel
Your picture of skin looks just cool. Will be nice to have this one on desktop :)

@bean
to make you more in interest about tunenet, want report a little bug (if you do not know about still). It's happenes only on os4.1 (on os4.0 it's ok), and we (i am and some others) reproduce it on different systems (so, it's not only my one installation). The bug just bad rendering of skins. Dunno why it's happenes, but i think you mus to know about :) Here is screenshoot where you can see these ugly 'white' areas for some sprites (like for "play" button, and for volumes wills).



ps. and as addiction, what you think about making easy/logical function to context menu, which will be somethink like "choice new skin". Becouse for first, when i run it, i loose some time to understand how change it :)

Hi,

I've had a look at the image problem you talk about and have traced the issue back to differences with image datatypes between OS4.0 and OS4.1.

Under OS4 an IFF image without the alpha channel, but requested in ARGB format (using datatypes), is loaded in with the alpha channel set to 0x00. Under OS4.1 it's set to 0xFF. I've now made some adjustments to TuneNet to better determine the type of image (solid or alpha enabled) regardless of how the datatype sets the alpha channel.

This will be in the next release, along with the fixed docky image problems.

Cheers,
Bean.

@bean

Great, looking forward to it!

@bean
Thanks :) Btw, will be in upcoming release addet somethink new ? (i mean visually/users or maybe some new options) ?

@kas1e

No new functions I'm afraid, except for a few minor tweaks; like a base frequency setting for mixing the audio at, some additional prefs for setting task priorities, and the fixes I've previously mentioned.

The App has had quite a few internal changes however, and certainly from a technical point of view is a little more robust in operation, especially in task spawning and communication between processes.

Cheers,
Bean.

@bean

I have experienced problems when in skin mode I iconify Tunenet, and then want to uniconify it : the skin GUI freeze (but only the skin IIRC playing is still going on). Was something similar already reported to you or would you want me to try to provide with a reproducible step by step procedure ?

@abalaban

Hi,

I'll get the latest release out as soon as I can, and if you are still having problems after that then report it and I'll look into it.

Cheers,
Bean.
