In my long, sad absence from the Cog forums, I ended up selling my MacBook Pro to get a shiny new iMac. I can assure you that the media keys work as expected

Looks like it comes back around to Applescript! Having some applescript hooks sure would open up a lot of possibilities

Oh yeah, what kind of release schedule were you thinking about? Quarterly?

Re: Release soon, release often (7 replies, posted in Development)
Sounds like a good idea to me. Maybe alternate between a release for (primarily) code changes and one for (primarily) interface changes?

Re: Mini-player Window (45 replies, posted in Development)
In the same vein as the skins thing, I've been really thinking about the fullscreen mode that a few people have been requesting. It stands to reason that many people are going to have many different ideas when it comes to the look of a mini- and a fullscreen player. Maybe we should consider designing them to be skinned interfaces from the get-go, even if the skin selection/generation tools aren't in place until .08 or later. At least then we won't be faced with redesigning the whole shebang again in a year.

thanks for the ideas biskitwheels, but this thread is archived. I stuck your thoughts in a new thread in the Features forum.

Re: M3U/MIME-Type Streaming (7 replies, posted in Features)
play a sound then stick the error message where the song title would be? maybe have a bigger text field underneath the title/artist then when Cog encounters an error, clear the current track info and populate the error field.
Otherwise I'd put a short message at the bottom of the playlist where the total duration is, just left aligned. It could even be a alink that, on click, displays a more detailed msg in an alert.

Topic: [General] Archives (2 replies, posted in Archives)
A forum category like closed bug reports but for anything out-of-date. That way threads in Help that have become irrelevant, rejected/duplicate feature requests and old announcements could be moved to an out-of-the-way but still searchable location.
Just looking to keep the boards clean and tidy

Re: M3U/MIME-Type Streaming (7 replies, posted in Features)
this should really be a 0.07 thing imo... Saying that Cog supports streaming when it can't handle (or at least present an error message) is a bit misleading.

Go nuts man. I'd dig into the code more but I'm more of a web dev.. C/C++ and Obj-C just looks like scary voodoo to me more often than not. GUIs are my thing I guess

Re: VG Music Formats (20 replies, posted in Features)
Would it be possible to treat these files as playlists? That's sort of how I'd expect one of these files to work. Add a file, Cog sees 8 tracks and adds them.. No fussing about with weird trees and all that.

Re: Mini-player Window (45 replies, posted in Development)
You know I kinda like this toolbar idea, although going nuts with it would open a whole can of bugs... If users could pick and choose things like Play/Pause, Next, Prev, 'Track Info' and Volume, it would allow for a great deal of customizability while still keeping the job manageable. I for one would remove all the items but track info because I use keyboard shorcuts for everything.
One thing though: Can you arrange place items above/below other itews in a toolbar? Like the way Volume is right now - below the playback controls, will the toolbar allow someone to position items on there manually?

Re: Mini-player Window (45 replies, posted in Development)
I'm willing to bend the HIG but making one long titlebar-less window is out of the question.. Too many non-standard controls, text is too small (my vision is fine and I have hard time reading the time in that screenshot) and the lack of space makes it hard to read the artist/title at a glance - esp with longer names.
If you take a loox at the iTunes controllers for Yahoo! Widgets and Dashboard, that's about the size I'm aiming for.

Re: Mini-player Window (45 replies, posted in Development)
iTunes breaks the HIGs by not having a titlebar and making it winamp-syle (ie: a single titlebar sized line) would butcher the HIGs.. I'd like to try something different..
