GUI changes for v3.0

[9ido]

it should be smoother and faster in all cases and trying now myself its fine
is it just the keyboard that does this?
and can anyone else confirm this behavior?

Yes I can confirm the issue. Mouse scrolls fine, but keyboard is messy, both arrow down and page down. Home and End work fine, though.

Using today's update I see what psychoadept is seeing.  Both wtih Down/Up Arrow and with Page Down/Up.  Keeping the key depressed there is hesitation in the scroll.  A single tap of the key works a little better, but there is still some hesitation.

I thought maybe it was the artwork field, but it's not much better without.

I think it is to do with the artwork field.
I think a change in the latest update means MB has to re-cache all the artwork.
I opened MB in Artwork view, let it run for about 5min for all the covers to re-cache.
Now the keyboard scrolling works fine in all views.

I'm not using any artwork in my Track Details view, so I doubt re-caching has anything to do with  the choppy scroll.

I am using track details too, but I got curious after the comment and tried scrolling again. And what do you know, it is a lot better than last night now. Last night the <down> key scrolled down about a whole page or more at once every second or two, today it scrolls fine, but becomes slightly hesitant every one or two seconds. A big difference. And what did I do? I Slept. I wish all my problems resolved this way! ;-D

@psychoadept, 9ido - i have sent a PM with a link to a debug version. Anyone else with this problem let me know and i will send a debug version to you as well.
Does it happen with page up and page down, or just page down?

[9ido]

Steven,

The search box bug is still there.

I will send you the debug info fwiw, but as I wrote, the issue seemed to be resolved by itself with time, except for a minor hesitation now and then.

[9ido]

As soon as I installed the debug version, the problem was back. Will PM you the last part of the error log.

this fixes the scrolling issue and search box gui glitches

unzip into the musicbee application folder and run MusicBee3.exe

[9ido]

Smooth like butter. Fast with no hiccups or hesitations at all. Search box also confirmed.

[9ido]

Search box also confirmed.

Actually, it's only partially resolved. Skipping a track does not cause it's occurrence any more. Going to another application and back apparently also triggers the glitch. And I think there is yet another trigger (it occurred once while I did not switch focus to another program) but I am not sure what it might be.

Hi Stevens
When can you please fix the sort glitch in the Stations Directories?
Thanks

[Steven]

if you are using today's version then i am not aware of any remaining glitches with the stations directory panel, so i would need some detailed instructions to reproduce

[Boile]

If you go to Station Directories window and chose for exeple Shoutcast -> Rock and then sort by kbps, klick on Stations and you get an another Station insted of the choosen!

Sorry if this was reported earlier.
