Hi everyone!
Tom, i did find something, but it's hard to reproduce. I will try to attach a print screen when i will. The waveform somehow looses focus, the orange seek bar disappears and the coloring of the player area of the track (the shading) also disappears while the track is still playing. It's instantly back when you click anywhere in resonic. This happens only after a longer period of usage and after many windows switching (ALT+TAB for example between multiple windows, and refocusing resonic). I know it's one of those bugs, but it never happened before with any other builds.

ok Tom. im glad it turned out to be something else. looks like I have a few broken ones like this and they are the ones I happened to audition!
why doesn't resonic scan a file as its scanning the waveform and post a warning message like this?
"BROKEN FRAME IN MP3"
would be very helpful. just a suggestion (maybe for pro version?)

Got something on the issue i mentioned before with the shading disappearing (well, not quite, just that it has a light grey color, not the orange shade; the seek bar is still there though in this print-screen).

That'd require every single frame in the file to scanned for errors, which can take a little while.
Since there are specialized tools for that I really don't see the need for such a feature at this point, although it could be done as a separate one, which would be mp3-only. Also, I'm not aware that any of the current common encoders produce such errors. I guess these files are quite old?

You played a .flac and it switches to lossless coloring, which is a shade of blue.

Indeed. Sorry about this. Still, the issue i mentioned before is real. There is no shading and there is no cursor, i just didn't get it right this time with this PS

Not easy to get right, because with good audio (dynamic waveform) it looks good, with a brick wall waveform it doesn't.

resonic-test-150219-12102b
The application-wide code for configuration settings has been rewritten which cuts down per-setting disk accesses and speeds up both start-up and shutdown (faster load/save) as most settings are now kept in memory until saved.
The objective of this particular test should be start-up/shutdown behavior and please let me know if settings don't seem to be loaded/saved properly. You should not re-use your old database with this build.
Besides that, "accurate prescans" option should be working again (try on files/VBR that seem off on seeking) and the pause/played area issue should be fixed, too.
New file is
attached to the first post, as usual.

True. Startup, shutdown and even folder content loading are noticeably faster now.

I found some different issue from previous builds. When you're "adding recursively" and exiting player while scanning/filling didn't complete, window disappears but service remains for ~7 seconds. So if you'll try to start player again until service releases, you'll get "doesn't respond" warning or error "Resonic could not start. One or more databases could not be opened or created. Disk full, protected or inaccessible?".

I got a way to reproduce the disappearing of the seek bar:
- pause the track with the space bar then resume it with the space bar -> when the track start playing again, the seek bar disappears; take a look at the attached PS, the track is playing, no seek bar.

Sometimes folder tree and track from previous session doesn't load at all (so browser looks like at the first startup).
P.S. Got "freeze" upon exit. Attached log after that.

Yes, on top of older version.
Path was "user> my documents > resonic" for the Win7 machine, and into "program files" for the Vista computer.

Keep in mind that test builds are portable versions, i.e. without setup and profiles are stored in the folder the .exe resides in. On recent Windows versions (I believe since Vista) programs are not allowed to write in 'Program Files', unless you're admin. Hence a portable version should never be stored in that folder.
Please let me know if the problem persists.

Another reproducible issue with 'Add recursively': after you delete some track from file list and press refresh - all tracks 'doubling' (more times you're using 'refresh' = more duplicates.

Yes, but i installed it because the previous (the first public alpha version) was installed there (so i didn't had to have 2 versions in 2 folders).
It used to work (since months), until this version, so i don't think that the path is the culprit (i run Win as an admin).
I will clean and try a new install (and let you know, of course
).

I think you need to explicitly turn off UAC, completely, to be able to write in system folders, regardless if you're admin or not.

Hello everybody,
I think that last build is gold, I use it daily and there is nothing bad. Everything work's great, especialy since there is the yellow highlight behind the reading bar
I hope the pubic beta will be there soon. Keep it up !

Havnt spotted anything immediately obvious yet but havnt yet had chance to extensively test latest build. when i add recursively, sometimes the skip track button seems to not work but this might be because they are in the middle of being added.
Ill try and test more this week.

After ~ 5 days of usage I had hangs during track switching and shutdown pretty often. Probably something in profile got broken. I didn't refresh/delete it after reported issues above but had to do that because player become difficult to use.

I am not sure if Resonic remembers correctly the soundcard when closing down and reopening (I had to relesect it manually a couple times, but might have made a wrong manipulation).
Also, i don't think it is possible to select several files to copy/paste into a folder (yet ?).
Also, drag & dropping a file into a folder doesn't seem to work yet (but i think it is not implemented yet ?)
Else, Resonic works smoothly

I wanted to make some spring cleaning into my samples folders.
For instance : i have a big folder with hundreds of unclassified samples. I make a "bassdrum" folder, and then i want to select 6 samples and drag/drop them into the "bassdrum" folder : 6 files are selected, but only one gets copied.
Also, a huge workflow-breaker is that we can't just drag & drop a sample into a sub-folder. We have to copy it, open the folder, paste it, go back to the previous folder, etc. When you have only a couple samples, it's ok, but when you have hundreds or thousands samples, it is just not a worthwhile workaround, as it take way too much time.
I guess it is due to the fact that Resonic is still only beta, and many things are still "coming later", and i might be a bit impatient
Ah, also : i don't want to sound unpolite at all : I have no complaint with a "basic" Resonic usage as a mp3 player. It is just that i needed to do some sample spring cleaning, and i thought that Resonic would be perfect for this task (copying/pasting/deleting, etc). But i think it is too soon yet.

Now I have confirmed, if you aren't playing anything when closing Resonic, it will not remember what folder you were in at exit.
Honestly, it should be an option for whether to save the folder position or not on exit.

wshaper... but you have not answered the question?
Are you drag/dropping them into the "bassdrum" folder inside resonic? or are you dragging and dropping them away from resonic and into the "bassdrum" folder in a file brower program eg Windows Explorer?
