One more queston: Did you, despite the instruction, JUST use the preview executeable without previously installing hotlist2.2? Sounds pretty much like this was the fault. 😛
Originally posted by Magic.XA feature causing an undesireable side effect whilst doing absolutely nothing to deal with it... I am straining to think of a definition of 'bug' which doesnt make that a bug. :P
No, this is neither Bug nor Feature. Its a side effect of the extended AVS-Status bar. It checks BPM an stuff and therefore keeps this window open.

"assign bitmap[s] to preset": How should this work? Assign one of those available or open a open-file dialog?
Originally posted by Magic.XWhile VJing, you are normally confronted with a delay of ~0.75 seconds anyway [unless the DJ is using your very computer or vice versa]. So the bpm is most likely always off time. A thing that'd be useful was a custom beat button through which the user can set the bpm so that at least the transitions are on beat. [you couldn't feed that back into AVS, could you?]
I could write a BPM counter on my own, but this would lack the confidence percentage information, so you'd never really know when you'd have to readapt the BPM. DJ's often change their BPM through the set and if the Advance Beat detector is locked once, you're fucked.
fšk, don't you have the delay problem while VJing? I think it kills the best beat detection...well its not that big of a deal with the kind of music you get in clubs, since the beat is kinnda constant. So it doesnt look chaotic even if there is a small offset. and besides, theres not much i can do about it🙂.
Originally posted by Magic.XThe limit on the size of an image is the amount of memory you have for it. In your case it comes down to some dodgy piece of Delphi, which wasn't made with any serious use in mind. Throw those things out, and do some direct memory work. Windows limit afaik is 4GB of data, and thats only if the programmer makes no attempts to work around that...
Yes i know, the images, my old big bad problem. This is the case because the ImagesLists (2, one for small, one for large pics) which are used to feed the Listview are using one big image to keep all the small ones. And there apply some restrictions for the maximum size of one image, defined by windows, which is causing the limitation.
Originally posted by TuggummiThe point I was trying to make is that the limits being faced here are self imposed and due to design or time limitations. i.e. There is no genuine reason for the poor performance and implementation of the pictures. Unless lazy counts.
but even with shitty bmp's, who would ever need more than 4 GigaBytes of image data?
Originally posted by jherikoYou're right of course. 🙂
Anyway, the point is that the limits are all from using some pre-made class to save time. If you want to do it properly and you have any problems with the theory behind it, you could ask us here... most of us know a ton about graphics stuff.
I am pretty suprised you are finding the image problem hard, considering the level of total hackery involved in many of the other features. 🙂

if it was in vb or c++ already...
Originally posted by jherikoI had the fuckin right to blame windows. 😛
tbh i was only interested in the image thing because it seems like it shouldnt be a big deal on the face of it, and because you started blaming windows 😉
Originally posted by fsk -when adding new images they arent the same size as the rest of them (i have them set to the 4:3 aspect ratio)
Originally posted by fsk -the imageles listview is seriously borked! it makes hotlist put out endles error messagesAlready fixed that (saw it too late otherwise it wouldnt have been in the preview).
Originally posted by fskLeft alignement is already covered.
btw: can you make the titles in the 'small' listwiew aligned left and somehow make the whitespace at the end of the title smaller. right now the white and the text take most of the space on the list.
Originally posted by Magic.XI understand now, that ImageList control is shit. I thought the ImageList you were talking about was something else that came with Delphi :P I forgot it exists in Windows because I rarely use it. But yeah, that thing is terribly made.

Which is then used in a quicksort or whatever sort method... to determine the ordering. Hope it helps...
bool compareRecords(Record a, Record b)
{
if (a.a1 > b.a1) return true;
if (a.a1 < b.a1) return false;
if (a.a2 > b.a2) return true;
if (a.a2 < b.a2) return false;
if (a.a3 > b.a3) return true;
if (a.a3 < b.a3) return false;
...
return true;
