AVS hotkey to go back and forward in presets
Thats what i would like to see in the next release. Im just too lazy to arrange my presets, but i watch the avs over my tv in fullscreen and it would be great if i could jump forward and back in the presets with some hotkeys, with some plugin i would use my gamepad for that as control for winamp than. Sometimes there are presets that just dont match to the music i listen at this even moment and i dont like to wait till the next preset cames onscreen, 'cause i let it now switch the presets every 60 seconds so i really can enjoy them for a while, but waiting 60 seconds with some not really good matching preset for the kind of music isnt that fun.
I randomize my music often and it switches near instantly from fast to slow things and so on, even if i would sort my presets it would be not fine to select my arrangement at every new song.

isn't there...
I thought there were keys that manipulate which presets to switch to. Such as the preset/hotkeys option, and pressing the space key will randomly choose a vis from the directory set within that.

hey! such hotkey is already done!
the keys "y" and "u" do the trick ...

the problem is that they're active only when avs window is active so we should persuade nullsoft heads to make it active all the time ...

cheers

Hey this y and y stuff is something i didnt knew before, but is not much worth. I use the avs fullscreen on my tv or overlay on my monitor, the avs is minimized then.

Well, if the AVS window's not active when it's used, I don't see how you could possibly expect to be able to control it.

Preferences (Ctrl-P) > Plug-ins > Visualization > Select "Advanced Visualization Studio v2.5" > Hit "Start" > Double click in the AVS Window > Settings Menu > Presets/Hotkeys > "Hotkeys"

sorry, but with that you can define hotkeys for specific presets, not go stright linear forward and/or back.

Well, they work the same way as u and y anyway, it's not possible to control AVS if it's not the active window. If it's fullscreen, you can use u and y, though.
