Centrafuse RC4.1 Bugs

New one...

Browsing Media by Artist is a bit sideways because you're using "Artist" instead of "Album Artist". I consider this a bug and not a non-feature because if I'm looking for a compilation or a tribute album, I can't find it.

I'd suggest using "Artist" only if "Album Artist" isn't present.

That's a great idea - I believe this is how it is implemented in most players, WMP at least.

I've been able to get "buttonclik" to show up in the top-line (where a track title would be) a couple of times. It usually happens as I'm coming out of SETTINGS and have clicked in the "close" area a couple of times in a row. It seems that if I click fast enough, then a click event may queue against an unmapped area of the screen and thus generate the "buttonclik" message.

you mean you actually see the text "buttonclik" in the titel area?

Now if you want to go and play that CD after switching back to the regular library, guess what? It is in neither place!

What type of disc is in the CD drive? Is it CDA or WMA/MP3 data?

This concept (that of inserting a USB disk device with WMA/MP3 data on it) started working for me(*) at RC 4. But, I'm using a USB thumb drive and/or an iRiver H10 mounting as a HD. It sounds like CF may be getting confused if there's a USB based CD drive in the mix.

(*)fwiw, "working for me" is defined as "Plug H10 into USB port while CF is running. CF ignores the USB_INSERT notice and doesn't scan the device. I can then go to Media | Music Folder, see the USB device as a drive letter browse it that way".

Yeup. I can't make it happen at will, but I've definitely seen it many times since installing 4.1.

Thanks David.

Regarding search for debug text "buttonclik", being outputted on main title area, it may be "buttonclick". I'll pound on it a bit and note the specific text.

I only get GPS lock failures when in Sirf mode, which I use as the Holux GR213 will do dead reconing and nav smoothing through hardware in sirf mode but apparently not in NMEA mode. In sirf the position on the map is sort of predictive based on speed and heading so more accurate at high speed.

When lock fails if I close CF and open SirfDemo, select source (com3 57600) and connect, it sees no satelites until I syncronise the gps & baud rate, it then scrolls through all the different speeds on the port and finishes with com3, 57600 :wack: Then it sees satellites.

Only seems to do this in Sirf mode though, any ideas why?

I have got to bring up the need for a minimize button again... even one that is some sort of advanced option that can be disabled or enabled in settings. With the speed (or lack of) that CF opens, I can't be continually exiting CF entirely to do a few things that I need to do in windows.

I understand that CF is meant to skin windows entirely, and even be used as a system shell, but that minimize button would be a welcome addition for many users.

There was talk of making an autoit script, or even a plugin, but I can't imagine it would be that hard to integrate into the current code? I really don't have any idea though.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, too...
