Re: THANKS!

Hmmm, the person who has been doing all the help file work for us is Julie.

Hey Julie, is there an application Victor can use to change the help files?

BTW, what are you doing to them?

The 2.1 project has a dependency for this set up... are you must be using 2.0.7,
right?

Re: Modifying help files

2000-05-31 Thread Mark B. Elrod

Forwarded from Julie, the Help goddess...

For the Window's builds I use a software tool called RoboHelp. It's not
an
"open source" program. However any help I build with it is licensed for
use
with that product. It's a very expensive program and I doubt Victor
would
want to spend $900.00 dollars to change the help. Of course, there are
lots
of applications out there that can be used to change help files,
probably
even some shareware...I use RoboHelp because it's the industry standard.

I would be happy to get Victor's comments on what he wants changed in
the
help.

  I should have expected that.  No reason a modern operating system should
take 3+ minutes to boot.  We have a 2000 file server here and I personally
hate the frigging thing.  Microsoft should take a clue from most other
operating systems in the world and seperate the OS into discrete chunks.
There's the file system, and the windows system, and the kernel drivers,
and the device drivers, and in most sane operating systems these things
are discrete entities to some degree.  Not microsoft!  They make what
operating systems designers call a 'monolithic' kernel look like a creme
drop next to a giant wad of cotton candy.

 P.S. Shren, if your every in the Silicon Valley, let me know, I owe you a
 dinner.

  Eh.  I signed on to this group looking for some help with DirectSound,
and my problem was solved with advice from the group within 24 hours.
What goes around comes around.  But if I am ever out that way I'll let you
know in advance.

Help files

2000-05-31 Thread Joe Cosentino

One thing is that FreeAmp could change to using HTML Help files.  Micro$haft
makes a HTML Help studio that is freely downloadable from their website.
Plus, the HTML files are a hell of a lot easier to maintain than the RTF
files.

Just my 2c,

Joe

Couldn't she do an export to RTF or HTML from RoboHelp?  It has to support
that kind of stuff, and then maybe the files could be used in the regular
help compiler for windows?

just a thought...

Re: Queueing Behavior

2000-05-31 Thread Valters Vingolds

Does drag-n-drop of file in musicbrowser from my music tree view to
playlist view work yet?
Should be equivalent of doubleclicking on song. Somehow I find it very
intuitive to use drag-n-drop, but I was a bit annoyed when it didn't work.



Now I have a question for you guys... since we are adding in streams
support does it make sense to queue a stream? should the default
behavior ffor a stream ALWAYS be play immediately?

Well, no... if I want it queued, I mean it. I personally want player to
play when I press Play, not before. I don't play streams that much, though.
But I vote for streams to be considered ordinary files.

RE: Help files

2000-05-31 Thread Julie Belote

Hi Joe,

"HTML Help" requires certain IE4 components to display the help. Either the
end-user must have IE4 or higher installed, or FreeAmp has to install these
additional components. This is one of the reasons we chose not to use
Microsoft HTML Help.

Julie

RE: Modifying help files

2000-05-31 Thread Julie Belote

Hello Mike,

You have probably seen my last two emails regarding the help files and HTML.
Yes, I can do all kinds of exporting, but all formats have some issues. So
far no one has come up with a help system that works all the time for all
platforms and browsers (regardless of marketing claims).

RoboHelp uses the Microsoft Window's Help Complier.
