Try re-unarchiving it from the .zip, and then before you build do a "Clean all" on it from within XCode. FWIW I'm using XCode 2.3

Tried all that.

Turns out my ~/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools folder was mucked up. I nuked it and all is good now.

(raceer, thanks for letting me know it worked for you).

Thanks,

Dave, yes, I too have noticed the odd corrupt file from time to time...good that all is well...

A small hint about centering the view...

1. get rid of the window in the NIB file and replace it by an 800x480 NSView (or a subclass if you like a different appearance)

2. create an outlet for this view (named mainView for example) in the controller and connect the view to it

Then something like this - the code will create a fullscreen window (for any screen size), take the content view, add it to the window and center it.

Code:

IBOutlet NSView *mainView;
---
NSRect  *screen = [[NSScreen mainScreen] frame];
NSWindow *mainWindow;

mainWindow=[[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:screen
 styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask|NSTexturedBackgroundWindowMask      
 backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO];

[[mainWindow contentView] addSubview: mainView];

int xPosition = (screen.size.width - [mainView bounds].size.width)/2
int yPosition = (screen.size.height - [mainView bounds].size.width)/2

[mainView setBoundsOrigin:NSMakePoint(xPosition, yPosition)];

I think before I do anything regarding centering it, etc, I want to see for myself how it looks in both 800x480 & 800x600. [Or someone could send me some screenshots of both!!!!!!] I saw some page where it said the Xenarc looks kinda ****ty in 8000x600, but I wanna be sure.

If it looks fine in 800x600, then I think it would be best to redesign the UI for 800x600!

I can post a screen shot if you want, but my screen is an 8.4" at 800x600.

**JakobMetzger** · 07-08-2006, 10:49 AM

yes dude, please do that super-fly. Aychamo has created this entire program and all he wants is a pic of it on 800x480 and 800x600 and no one has posted up yet! I dont have a xenarc so I cant do it. Please someone post up a pic at both resolutions.

Aychamo, why dont you just design it to be centered all the time and use something like what Jirka Jout is talking about so when is on 800x600 it will be centered but on 800x480 it will still look the same?

**super-fly** · 07-08-2006, 09:49 PM

The reason I was asking him is because he probably is getting a 7" wide screen. I don't know if he would care to see a picture of my 8.4" it, I'm assuming he wants to see a 7" running both resolutions.

**JakobMetzger** · 07-08-2006, 10:04 PM

just take pics of both, so we can see it on everything

Hey guys!

I just wanted to give you an update on what I've been doing w/ AMP.

I've really been tweaking the UI. I don't want to "spoil" it, but I've put some things in that I hope will blow your eyes away. Also, I've put in the ability to be able to click through the posistion in music & movies. (Meaning, there is a bar that shows the position, and you can click anywhere on the bar and it brings you to that position in the song.)

I've also been cleaning up the code a bit. I found a ton of places where I did things for the first time, and I saw much better ways of doing it. I've removed probably a hundred or so lines of old code (but added some too because of the new stuff - lol)

I have some more stuff I want to tweak/update/add before I release the next version though.

Again, thank you everyone for the support, ideas, code & everything!
Aychamo

Hey Jakob!

Well, to be honest, before I do all that, I want to see how well it looks on 800x480 vs 800x600 on a Xenarc. I've seen one picture comparison (not of AMP, just of Safari or something), and the 800x600 looked weird. If AMP looks fine in 800x600 on a Xenarc/Lilli/Whatever, then hell yeah, I want to switch the entire UI to 800x600. I think we can all think of uses for the extra 120 pixels!!
