Track browser: major and minor issues with 3.0.2 RC-3

Fraxav · Post by **Fraxav** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 2:45 pm

Hi.
I get this error when i try to change a column of the Track browser, i.e. from 'Album' to 'Year' or from 'Artist' to 'Bitrate'.
The error pops up after I select (i.e.) 'Year' in the drop-down menu, and together with the criterion change (yes, because the change takes place despite the error).
The error is always the same, for whatever column or criterion:
Access violation to address 0046C1FF in module 'MediaMonkey.exe'. Write of address 00000018.
This happens in the non-debug version so I can't generate a report, but I'm installing the debug version so I can see if the error still exists and if I can get a report.

P.S. I noticed that if i keep changing criterion and getting the error randomly in the three columns, after a few times the error disappears and there is no problem. Maybe is just me, but I wanted to let you know

.
Bye.

Ok, I get the same error with the debug release. This time I'm able to send a report.
Hope it gets solved.
Bye everybody.

Update:
As I said in the P.S. of the first post, after a few times the error stops.
Well, this is not really true. The error stops only once I've changed a criterion (an so, got an error) for each of the three columns, no matter the order. So, if I got an error i.e. in the first and third column, I'll be able to change the criterion of the second column without having any sort of error.
But if i keep changing the criterion only in the (i.e.) first column, the error won't never stop.

Hope this can help.

Edit:
I just noticed something that I think is important to say (and maybe it's also the solution to this problem...)
No error appears if I change the critieria while I'm in a folder.
To say it better, I use to customize MM as soon as I install it and launch it for the first time. When you launch MM for the first time, he can't remeber the folder you were in the last time (since it's freshly installed), so in the main player you can see no tracks. Well, if I select the folder with my music, the track browser works fine.
Maybe I'm just really boring, but I think that this is a bug anyway

.
Who can help?

Oh, you are welcome!
As you are going to see under here...I've nothing to do in my life...I spent it finding bugs.

Ok, that was the "major" issue...now the time has come for me to show you the minor one.

Problem: the head bars of the columns of the track browser change color.

How to make it happen:

Open the track browser. You find it in the View toolbar ("View>Toolbars>View"). When you enable it, you see three columns: "Genre", "Artist" and "Album".
Right click ONE TIME in the middle of whatever column title bar (the bars with the word "Genre", "Artist" or "Album" inside of them). Than move the cursor slightly to the left, keeping it inside the title bar (DON'T MOVE THE CURSOR OUTSIDE THE TITLE BAR OR THE TRICK WON'T WORK!!). Than right click again ONE TIME, of course in the same title bar. Move the cursor away and you'll see that now the title bar has a different color from the other two.
Right click ONE TIME in the middle of A DIFFERENT column title bar. Than move the cursor slightly to the left, keeping it inside the title bar (DON'T MOVE THE CURSOR OUTSIDE THE TITLE BAR OR THE TRICK WON'T WORK!!). Than LEFT click ONE TIME in the same title bar. Move the cursor away and than bring it back to the title bar, and right click on it. Move the cursor away and you'll be in the same situation described in above.
You won't be able to bring the original color back until you restart MM.
Bug?

Now, the 99% of you is ready to insult me, but i know that the 1% REALLY fanatics of MM will be grateful for this insignificant bug(?) that I found.
Maybe is just a trick, but it seems to have no function so, to me, it needs to be fixed.
But, you know, I'm soooooo booooooring......

Fraxav,
btw.
you are not right that you won't be able to bring the original color back until you restart MM, you can just try to drag&drop the column title bar and the original color is back

Hey...you are right! Eheh.
Lol, thanks to both of us for trying to reproduce that thing.
