Hotlist 2.1 - Testers needed

Editing mode will show / hide the file selection ont the left side.
I dont know why the Language is not remembered,it should be stored in the registry at local_machine/software/hotlist, please check that.

But this will change in V2.2 too as Language Packs will use placeholders then (as UnConed suggested).

New Features that already work:
-Onbeat Presetchanging through an APE
-Loading & Saving of Multiple Lists, even allows adding existing lists 😁
-Extended, hideable Status Bar
-Extended Main Menu
-Deleting all currently not used Pictures (very usefull)
-New Language Pack Style
-Edit Area now sizeable
-Automation now on a seperate hideable ToolBar

Planned but not done:
-Loading all pictures on Startup and only once.
-NSIS Installer 😉
-Allow multiple instances of one Preset
-Allow custom sort of Presets (Drag & Drop)

Hmm, Hotkeys again?!

I used Hotkeys for Version 1, but this way was (as i experienced) a bit too complicated, so i introduced clicking 😁

Well in addition it could be usefull again.

But:
When the ListView is selected and you hit a key, Hotlist will jump to the first entry beginning with the typed letter. Therefore, Hotkeys would only be good with the F Keys, otherwise there would be conflict.

To explain how Hotlist works:
-it saves the location of the presets
-onload, it copies the prest to AVS/F1.aph andsimulates F1 beeing pressed

Possible Solution:

Hotlists FKey is changed to F12
On demand, single prests are copied to F1 - F11 sperately
If you enable the Hotkey passthrough, you can access them now directly

Or do you want this to be handled by Hotlist iself (Remeber the Preset, handle it as loading, resetting the counter and so on)?

.s. others arent VJing, thats why they dont give a rats ass about the software 😁. I used it this weekend 🙂.

Tis true that i don't VJ, but i do want to make a finnish language pack. Though i haven't had the time to test it even once 🙁 But as i said, it's not on top of my priority list.

Ok, lets get back to the Topic. 😉
If you want to continue discussing this we should open a "Tuggummi loves Porn" treat.

btw: T', need more Smileys?

Did i say i wanted to continue it? As i see it you started it. Now thanks to you people tell me "Get a life" , "Don't watch that show" , "You're sick" . Even my sense of humour has a line and you just crossed it.

I'm Sorry, i really am. It was'nt meant to be anything against you. Furthermore i did'nt thought that anyone would take this seriously. Please accept my apologie.

Ok, i didn't thought you ment anything by it, but rest of the forum members might not be so "understanding" 🙂

Anyway it's all cool now, it's locked and it will be forgotten in a couple of days/week.

I dont know what this "six feet under" thing is all about, dont even know this show.

A TV serie about undertakers 🙂
It's a helluva lot better than the normal american tv series crap. (exception Dark Angel & Stargate)

I hardly watch anything on tv except news channels for some reason (Iraq & Warlord Bush) because i have no time to. When i come home from work, i turn on my PC and start working on Hotlist, implementing new funktions that have been suggested.

Wow, now i got it back to the topic 😁

Note for fsk: I made the Hotkey thing working.

Yay,woot and all that stuff🙂. I like the hotkeys because they are fast (you can have a series of similar presets and switch between them).

Hey you are working on this a lot arent you? When is 2.2 gettin realesed? Can't wait.

Oh about edit mode, when you said IT WILL, did you mean it'doesnt do that yet?
Because it doesnt on my computer🙂.

In fact it's the only thing i do when i get home 😁
yesterday i had to pause coz i badly needed some sleep (i fell to bed as soon as i was home) but today i'm continouing.

If you want a preview, here is the current state of work, something between alpha and beta: Hotlist V2.2 Preview.
I doesnt come with any language packs yet. Furthermore, be sure to add a "User Lists" Folder to your Hotlist Folder and copy the Language Packs to a "Laguage Packs" Folder.

Now that's confusing me. The Button or Menu entry should show or hide it.🧟

Ok for all those who are interested in this program (is there anyone besides fsk or am i just spaming the forum?) here is the current state of work for V2.2:

-just figured out an algorithm how to add my BeatDetectionAPE to AVS-files automatically through hex-manipulation (cough, that was something)
-i'm halfway done with updating the existing language packs
-i added some markers to the new hotkey function, if you hotkey a preset, the name of the hotkey will apear in the upleft corner of the screenshot 😁

I just tried out the 2.2 preview and it rocks 🙂

Glad to see that you like it 😁 i gotta do some more coding and the APE you got is buggy - try to run it without hotlist open and it will munch your resources! Fixed that.

Ok, current state of work:

Done with APE autoadding. 😁
Nearly done with the new Help Doc.
Added Drag & Drop custom sort.

But there's still plenty of stuff to go.
Next release aproximately friday.

Current state of work:

Since the Forums were down i was'nt very productive, but i'm almost done anyway.

There are some few things to do like docking/undocking toolbars (i know this has nothing to do with its functionality, but i like smart apps 😁)

You'll get it here as soon as i'm done and i'm gonna have a week of, so it wont be long ;-)

I want it, I need it, GIVE IT TO ME NOW!😁

edit/ tmw: Please 🙂

btw. once this topic is back up...

Magic, i did test Hotlist eventually, but it didn't seem to work at all. It did launch the program and you could select a list of avs presets, but it didn't load them in the avs window... Also i got a lot of these error messages (all in german 🧟) when i launched & closed the program...

Im running windows 98SE in case your wondering.

yeah,same shit happened to me.I use winXP.Debug it Magic 🙂

Already renewed some stuff, mostly internal Management.

German error messages are the result of the German Delphi i work with - send me a screenshot of em.

Tug, i dont think it's a fault of your OS, as this is developped on WinMe. But i also tested it on XP before publishing so that shouldnt be the prob.

As I noticed it, the error happens if you dont have the directories set right(or if winamp and hotlist are installed on a server🙂).The bugg that bothers me most is the thing with screenshoots in XP, but as you said you dunno why its there and therfore cant fix it🙂.Anyway im realy looking forward to the realese of the software because I dont wanna do the whole screen shot thing over and over again, and this version is gonna have saveble lists and whatnot(roXorz)🙂.

And onbeat presetswitching! 😁 w00t

To make the screenshot more stable i added a Delay for next version which will give the AVS window enough time to be brought to front. I dont actually know but maybe this also helps to solve the XP problem.

Awesome dude - I can't give you feedback on any of your releases yet - Im still getting error messages when I import .avs files...
and they're in German!! Im dling 2.2 so hopefully your bugs are gone so's I can gets yer some feeeeedback ya'll.

Please send me the screnshots of the error messages, only this way i can figure out what's exactly going on.

Just saying "when i try X or Y i get an error message" wont help me much because this could have various reasons.

[EDIT] worked a lot on it yesterday, optimized the resizing routine -> should work about 20 times faster now w00t

I am sorry about puting this string up again, but damn it I have to remind Magic again. I have a gig on saturday and I would really like to try the new version🙁. Magic please finnish the damn thing, or publish whatever you got😁 (just make it english please🙂).

p.s. yes I can be a pain in the ass 😛

@Magic.X: ich drück mal die Daumen, dass es bald fertig wird 😉
noch ein paar verlängerte Wochenenden...

@fsk: be patient and make more avs-pacs 😛
