No sane way to jump to a specific song in the list. Getting a doubleclick on a lilliput is next to impossible, and the 1.5 behaviour of selecting the song, then pressing the play button at the bottom of the screen has now been removed.

WAV files. I know there's no ID3 information, but do we have to have "Unknown Artist - " prefixed onto the file name, it means I end up with displays reading "Unknown Artist - Force & Styles - Heart of Gold". Can't CF just trust the user to name their file correctly?

I will think about what to do with the tag reading...

I removed the clicking a song and hitting play because once you left the song you were on in the list view you no longer had the ability to pause the music, unless you found the song that was playing and selected it in the list view again...

I plan to make this list view in the media player single click always, it was on my list but just didn't get it done for this release...

Thanks for that. Single click on the song list makes a lot more sense and will be better than 1.5

Tag reading works fine, it's the untagged stuff (such as my .wav files) that display incorrectly. I can suggest some fairly simple logic that should catch most cases

if there are no spaces anywhere in the filename then replace all _'s with spaces
look for " - " in the name, treat these as field separators.
Assume the last field is the song title
If the first field consists solely of numbers then
....assume the second field is the artist.
....assume the first field is the track number
else assume the first field is the artist
....if there is a middle field
........assume this is the album name
....else
........use the directory name as the album name

It wont catch all cases by any means, but it should fit the majority of files out there and at least gives us an option to organise untagged files and have them displayed correctly.

Or there is the cheap option. Just dump the filename into the artist/song field directly (since they're shown together) and take the directory name as the album name

I'd be happy enough with this option.

are you thinking just for wav files since they dont' support tags? I would consider that... Other file types you should just fix your tags I would think...

David, my internet connection is not working as it was in 1.5. I set up the connectiong entering the

1st problem

Connection name
Phone
Username
Password

It doesnt connect, I see a status window but it's just blank and has a button that says OK. Whats up with that>

2nd Problem

I tried intergrating iGuidance and when I click any buttons on iguidance it takes me back to the CF main screen. It seems like the layers could be out of wack. The window name is correct. Any input?

3rd problem

Phone Control.net connects to my motorola e815 just fine, I can see my text messages, and when a call comes in, but I cannot make calls or see my phone book like before when I ran phonecontrol.net as a standalone.

When I try to make calls it has the status window saying "Dialing 123-434-3434" but does't ever connect. As far as the phone book I don't see it at all, I just see my text msg inbox.

David you did a phenomenal job man, thank you for everything

I also was not able to get my cell phone working for internet through bluetooth. I used the same settings I had on 1.5, but in my case this has always been one of thoose things that has been finicky, so I just figgured I needed more time to play with it. I will try to get more details up about my mine when i have more time to play with it tomorrow.

This is the same problem i mentioned above, I did not get a chance to try other external applications to see if they have simular problems as well, but i plan to try that later. David, is there any chance that there is a setting that can be changed to avoid this happening?

Hi,

just returned from a 30 minutes test drive and i discovered serveral errors / bugs (i have a M10000 with 512 MB):

1) Destinator Plugin is very very slow. I think at least 10 times slower than in cf 1.2. When i enter my destination and press "enter" after i entered the first letters of the city, i have to wait serveral seconds for the list to appear.

2) When i approach a crossíng (i was in night mode), where i have to change my destination, the screen flashes to the day mode, which is very anoying at night. In addition, the really good looking giant arrows indicating the new direction are gone, they are replaced by text like "Turn right" in the quality of computer graphics in the early 1980s.

3) The display always show "Calculating Rout" , the "e" is missing.

4) After entering the destination, when the voice prompt "please drive carefully" the windows task bar gets visible for a second, than disappeared.

5) I tried the visualisation (because David wrote on my system they would be slow ;-) but .. they did not work at all. The screen got black, in the lower left corner there was the outline of a window. Thats all. The music kept playing, but the system showed no reaction at all. So i tapped the touch screen for about 10 times .. and i saw my windows desktop.. centrafuse was killed.

6) I did not know how,. but after playing with my playlist, the whole content of the playlist fields was gone. The music was playing, but there was nothing writen on the sceen, nor respondedthe system to commands like "volume up" "volume down".

7) The buttons in the main menu are misaligned. When i try to open the Nav, i open the Phone.

8) I can not set any station on my radio extreme. i cannot tune any station. The frequency hops up and down randomly.

9) The lower end of the screen is cut of. I tried it on two machines, the result was the same. Looks like the last 5 lines are below the end of the monitor. Never had this with any other application.

10) This is no bug or error, but i really don´t like the new skin. It´s so ... colorless ... and the blue - when tapping on the screen - is ugly.

11) Conclusion: Until a bugfix is released, i switched back to centrafuse 1.2 - which is not so feature packed, but working - with much much better destinator support.

Not sure if anyone has noticed this yet, but on the Menu flyout... Some of the captions disappear sometimes, and some buttons dont work.... sometimes its the DVD button taht doesnt show up, but then i click the Menu again, and another button is missing the caption, and some buttons dont work.

Also, when testing this alittle, some had a caption for one item, but when clicked it took me somewhere else.

I only tested this for like 10 seconds, was busy, I will go back and test again and give you a better detailed description.

WHen you use the web plugin and you go to a website where you click and links open in a new windows the window doesn't pop up. It stays on the same window, you never see the other window pop-up. I mentioned this a long time ago because it did the same thing in 1.5, maybe david forgot

**lazy_g** · 03-06-2006, 05:52 PM

I have problems embedding IGLAUNCH...

It embeds fine, but when i go to full screen mode it cuts of the bottum part of the application, so i cannot get to my menu buttom or zoom buttons...

Very enoying! Any body have the same problems?

**Lum** · 03-06-2006, 06:00 PM

The menu issue appears to be that the first option (main) is printed twice, then everything else is shifted down a line.

The buttons still function as they would do if they were still labelled correctly.

Another minor niggle. I opened the menu, then pressed the exit button in the bottom right. It went to the main screen but left the menu open. I'd expect this button to either close the menu, or close the menu and take me to the main screen.
