CENTRAFUSE BETA 2 [1.4] Requests

David,

This font is freeware, and it is called Babel Sans
http://dafont.com/en/font.php?file=babel_sans

Yes, I find both of the original fonts too hi-tech, and not very easy on the eyes. Dont get me wrong, they are nice maybe for a logo, but I think they're a little too much for an interface general font.

This would be very easy to achieve, if David allowed to include APPS without embedding, You would simply create a script, and associate with one of the APPS buttons.

David, still against the idea of having an <EMBED=FALSE> tag in the External.xml?

Yeah, sorry about that! didn't read your second paragrah until after i posted

Yeah, i've seen lots of requests for sorting, i think flux should really concentrate on the music section of centrafuse as this is the section that people will use 90% of the time while in a car. Get good sorting options, shuffle, fix playing and display bugs etc etc. I think most would prefer this first and be willing to wait on the rest. just my opinion anyway

David,

Would you consider displaying artist names beginning with "The" as follows:

"Police, The"

This should apply to the media manager screens. I would still want the original "The Police" naming to apply to the Music player screen at the top.

Also, yes I know I could change the tags and rename them accordingly, but that would affect it throughout all screens, and not in the places where I think it makes sense. This would make Artist browsing so much easier, rather than having 30 artists grouped under "The..."

EDIT: For reference, this is exactly how it works when you got to a Record store. You will find "The Vines" under the letter "V", and displayed as "Vines, The". The record itself obviously will still show "The Vines"

add another vote for a minimize button

and some more feedback regarding 'random' ... i also am finding it to not be very random. there's one particular artist it seems to come back to every third song. I don't know if it needs to be 100% suffle not repeating any songs until all are done ... but maybe if it used some logic to be more 'random'.

as much as I hate iTunes ... their party shuffle is pretty awesome. something like that would be great. Another idea is to incorporate ratings ... where while a song was playing we could rate it on a scale from 1 to 5 ... and that could be taken into account during shuffle.

I know that's asking a lot though.

I'll also agree with listing 'The' names as stated above (maybe as an option).

David,

Please can you assign {ENTER} to the OK buttons in the dialogues that appear when there is no CD available and to acknowledge Shutdown, Hibernate etc.?

Thank you.

When viewing playing media, highlight a song and click play. This plays it immediately.

The arrow keys are then innoperative until the Up or Down buttons are pressed. Then the arrow keys work again.

Please can you add this to your bug list.

PS. Not sure if bugs should go here and I can't see where else to report them.

Can we have a dedicated bug thread and a dedicated request thread, keeping these free from troubleshooting and requests for help?

David,

I don't find the font in CF too difficult to read except when using the OSK. I find it very difficult to find the letter I'm looking for in that case. I think if you used a more basic text, it would be much easier to use that screen.

dunno if anyones asked but... iTunes?

is there any way of you getting CF to play the music from iTunes?

i been downloading a lot from there due to the crack down on ilegal downloads... such a shame they cant be used with CF or any other program
