Is there a date for publishing 10.4 as a full release.  I recall in years gone by, Christmas seemed to be a popular time to release new versions of VPX?

Ok, that should do.

 

I deleted unused images and sound samles to reduce size.

 

@arngrim can you take a look at it and make the changes to zzz public?

I had some weird behaviors is CC, like the plunger stopping the ball for gun fight was going up slightly too late and the ball passes it before that. Or when the tribute mode (CCC) begins the plunger holding the ball does not go down.

Another thing I wanted to report for some time (already reported to fuzzel privately): VPX 10.4 crashes when reimporting more than one sample (still with latest beta). It crashes without a crash log. I can play samples with the button "play" in the sound manager but as soon as I import one, VPX 10.4 freezes. If I do not play a sample, I can import one but it crashes when importing a second one. I think it's the same with the other managers. This does NOT happen with VPX 10.3, it's a 10.4 thing only.

 

Using Win7 64bit here, 4 GB RAM, no special add ons, regular install. Always latest scripts.

can we get sorting fixed on Collection Manager, and also the add/remove collection popup.  all the other managers seem to be fine, at least the ones I look at.

 

Thanks guys, and bah humbug happy holidays everyone.

Maybe something went wrong when fixing things? I do not know how long the problem exist but it was certainly not the case at the very first versions of 10.4. But the problem is there for several months, I always hoped that the problem will be fixed and then I forgot about it. Is there an archive with older versions? Maybe I could try...

what is wrong with the sorting in the collection manager? The add/remove collection context menu has it's limitations if you work with multiple selected elements that's why elements get grayed out if they belong to different collections.

I can't reproduce this. I import samples and can play, reimport and 'reimport from' them without any problems. You can take a look at randr's site there are most of the released beta builds.

It doesn't sort correctly. Same with the pop up, it's not sorted.

sort seems to work on some tables, not others, it doesn't seem to like older tables. or it seems to sort in groups, like some older existing collections get sorted together and other new collections are sorted together but the two are not mixed. or some tables if you hit the Name title to sort like 4 or 5 times it eventually ends up sorted correctly.  or if I manually put them in order using the Up Down buttons then it will sort them correctly and remember it for that session.


 

 

 The add/remove collection context menu has it's limitations if you work with multiple selected elements that's why elements get grayed out if they belong to different collections.

 

It used to work better when it was just add, you could select a bunch of items and click add to collection and it added them whether they were already in there or not and didn't create duplicates.  Which is why I suggested a short time back in this thread to separate them out to a Add to Collection and a separate Remove from Collection option in the pop-up.  One would make sure everything selected was in the collection and the other would make sure everything selected was not in the collection, and you wouldn't have to worry about mixed mode selections.

Ok I changed the behavior of the Add/Remove to collection option. In the next update you can add/remove multiple selected elements which belong to different collections again. It works like the lock option in the context menu.

Example:

You have two elements (elem1 and elem2) and two collections (coll1 and coll2). Elem1 belongs to coll1 and elem2 to coll2.

If you select both elements and hit Add/Remote To Collection in the context menu you can uncheck coll1/coll2 and only the element  that is part of the selected collection is removed from it. If no element is part of the selected collection then it is added to it.

Let's say you have another element elem3 that is not part of any collection and you select elem1 and elem3 and click on Add/Remove To Collection you will see coll1 is check. If you uncheck coll1 then only elem1 is removed from it and elem3 is untouched.

If you want to add elem1 and elem3 to coll1 you have to click again Add/Remove To Collection and select coll1 to add elem1 and elem3 to coll1.

 

So it works like the lock option with multiple selected elements if some selected elements are already locked and others not. You have to hit lock twice to lock all elements of the multiple selection.

Good news - I coincidentally found crash logs when VPX 10.4 crashes in sound manager. They were in the samples folder on my USB Stick - never would have found them there by purpose. I really always though crash logs are always in the tables folder...
