New scripting features in MM 2.5.2

ParseText() is supposed to be used to fill in only empty fields (i.e. those that don't have any values set in tags). Therefore is works this way...

@Jiri, developers:
What's the status of the above mentioned "problem"?

Please empty the artist name (and best of all any field you expect to be filled in) before the function is called (i.e. track.ArtistName="").

Will this be fixed? If it doesn't work to only use (track.ArtistName=""), then sometimes big workarounds (some fields have blank values "", 0, -1, ... ) would need to be used if it's impossible to know what field will receive a value. If only setting (track.ArtistName="") is enough, then I can live with that workaround very well.

Yes, I PM'ed you with a link.

Do you have a full script code to test?

Hello.

Just to say that the "activex event handling" error from the first page ( http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 5903#35903 ) is still here (MM 2.5.3 RC3).
I'm using a ListView ActiveX control now. The event is executed correctly, but gives 2 same "useless" script event error messages. Even with an empty event handler function, as shown below.

Code: Select all

Script.RegisterEvent ListView.Interf, "ItemClick", "OnArtistSelect3"

Sub OnArtistSelect3(ListItem)    
End Sub

Cheers

Works like a charm. Thanks

I believe there is an Idle status in the Windows System that can be retrieved.

The scripter needs to do a count down of the todo list for each item executed,

sketch

Code: Select all

DoneSoFar = 0

For i = 0 to ToDoList.Count-1
 If Idle then
   ToDoList.Task(i)
   DoneSoFar = DoneSoFar + 1
 Else
   Exit For
 End If
Next

ToDoList = ToDoList - DoneSoFar

I like the idea!

However, this would be complicated to manage because when the user started using MM again would you want to stop your idle event? You'd have to have some way of checking to see if MM was still idle in your loop so you could stop it maybe.

by **DiddeLeeDoo** » Sun May 14, 2006 3:14 am

Would it be an idea to add an OnIdle event, so certain events can simply create a 'to-do' list for whenever MM is idle, instead of doing it right away.

All in order to keep the speed up in MM

Scripting Functionality Wishlist wrote:Events should also work with built-in tree nodes, or there should be some other way of making the tree context menu adaptable to the tree node that is right-clicked (e.g. show additional context menu items for certain nodes)

Will this work after the "event-can-only-have-one-handler" problem has been fixed? Or does it already work?

Ok, upon MM restart a timer pop up should come up...
Start playback, a pop up should come up. Modify any track except the one playing, a pop up should come up.
Modify the current playing track... a pop up should come up followed by 2 or 3 error messages "Error executing script event"....

This is indeed a bug and will be fixed. Thanks.

Is it possible to add also script related changes to the "Changes / What's new" list with new releases?

I'd like to better inform about scripting changes in the future versions. Possibly a special thread here would be good for this.

I can confirm the bug, although I only get one error message!

I think some sort of history (probably only going back through 2.5 releases) to say what's been added and when. If not a past list, at least start one from now!
