The first impression on v7.0 looks great!!
I do love some features already (like the new advertising view), even without testing.
I am testing the 7.0 version as well and like Matthieudreaft, I am not able to get my database online using the DBserver. I guess it has to do with the user groups and roles, so I am testing with an local database for now and sort that out later once I will switch to the firt release of v7.
It seems that the user and role groups ar now easier to use and this will be a great feature this way!
Just I do have a question about what the Automatic File Container is been created for. Instead of adding an item we should add an source folder? Just wondering what makes this container usefull. hope you can explain?
Also I wonder what the ‘Inbox’ button in the database will be doing. I have added some storages and I was thinking that the inbox would be sort of the already excisting ‘synchronise’ button. But i wonder how the ‘inbox’ button will be activated. and most important question… in your description you say the ‘Inbox’ button will check a configurable folder for new audio files, then import and delete them.
Will the folder be deleted or will the track been moved and then the original items will be deleted?
How is this function been tought to work out?
And like I mentioned before, the way the usergroups and Roles are now implemented are so much easier. Only thing I noticed that it isn’t possible to add a user to a usergroup. So what is the difference between a user and a usergroup. When thinking logical, you would say you can create usergroups and then add a user to a user group. At this moment it is only possible to add a user level to a user.
These are my first questions about this new release. As I said. the first impression is great and I love testing the software. Hope soon it will be possible to connect to the DB server of v6.3 so testing can be even more precise.
When first started all the screen elements were gone .
The background off the empty playlist is white (there is a empty background in skin)
looks like half the skin doesn’t work.
Year is gone.
in 7 the cartwall is this
Screen objects: There was a change in their names. It’s no longer called ScreenObject0, ScreenObject1 and so on.
Now there are names used like EncoderStatus0 etc.
I will ask Torben if there is a simple solution for that.
Skin: I will check this. Can you send me the code concerning the cartwall here?
Were it possible to view actually the object’s names in the Layout Editor? I use a setup with some 60+ static texts in it. It is almost impossible to refer to a specific item for correct placing etc.
There is just open the layout designer and place them back .
The chances in ignored skin parts is (I think) more work and I think that it teaks more as 30 days of testing.
At first i didn’t realize it but I have the playlist at extended display and I cant get that back.
You now see big columns with little info and uses up space.
Removed the complete skin (of 6.3) made everything like a fresh install
Even then cartwall had no title artist there is only duration and cart number.
config says show artist (see screenshot)
It’s not 6.3 that gives a problem .
By the way the buttons on top are not in [Cartwall] but in [CartwallToolbar] and the orange color comes from the field were you give color to items.
The skin has the color tabs from several cartwall pages .
Tested this afternoon with blank pages no skin and artist stil doesn’t show see outher post
Found the problem as you can see in your own screenshot my numbers are smaller to create the space in the given box.
On top is the mix editor and thatch from left to right so I cant go higher.
But 7 ignores the height of the number in skin so 16 cart wipes out the text when I do less carts the the text comes back.
Again I do place the questions I have asked some earlier…
What is the real function of the ‘Automatic file container’? instead of adding tracks wich are used in the database, you have to assign an folder on the pc where the music is taken and placed in line.
I wonder what the toughts are about the creation of this item.
Also I wonder what the ‘Inbox’ button in the database will be doing. I have added some storages and I was thinking that the inbox would be sort of the already excisting ‘synchronise’ button. But i wonder how the ‘inbox’ button will be activated. and most important question… in your description you say the ‘Inbox’ button will check a configurable folder for new audio files, then import and delete them.

Working about the looks is nice, but I hope also the functional parts of this new version will be discussed in here . As I really look forward testing the new functions of the v7 software.
EDIT:
I have just noticed that the scrollbar in the mix editor isn’t working when zooming in. It is working when clicking next to the scroll bar, but not when sliding the scrollbar using the mouse.
I thought the dark skin would fill up the wite pieces in the skin.ini .
But in dark mode it looks like everything is being ignored.
In normal state (no dark mode) the compete cartwall is wite and the mix editor only show the buttons (the skin )rest is wite (when using own skin)
The waves are green with Grey background but I think that also whiteout skin
I have assigned a wasapi soundcard to the recording device and checked if the same device is shown in the voicetrack input.
No other settings about voicetracking have been changed in the configuration software.
When trying to save the voicetrack, this error apears and after a few moments the ‘application seem to be frozen’ error ocurs.
The voicetrack is recorded and I am able to listen and edit the mixeditor, just the error pops up when trying to save the voicetrack
Some kind of empty state for playlist is missing.
The cartwall shows it grid when the fist cart appears but it doesn’t show the corlor of the item.
And the toolbar of the mix editor stays white except the buttons.
On the screenshot you see I have my own letter type
In the player there are capitol letters and in the playlist are small.
after changing the playlist into capital letters the letters in the players also change
)
. As I really look forward testing the new functions of the v7 software.
