The tl;dr version - MM up to version 4 is built on a framework that uses outdated and/or deprecated technologies. They still work, and probably will do so for quite a while, but at some point something will break, and when it does, you don't want your application to depend on it. Issue is that you c...

Holy cow, that worked! Thanks a lot, that was literally the last (known) bug I wanted to get rid of in the extension for the current version.

Hi, it seems like the (supposedly) global window object is not available fron the config menu of an addon. Well, a window object is available, but it's not the same object as the one from the main player. To verify, open the config menu of an application via Tools > Extensions. Inside the config men...

Hi, I recently added a configuration screen to an extension, the (simplified) layout looks like this: myAddon/myAddon.js: myAddon = { someFunction: function(){ alert('some function') } } myAddon/info.json: { "config": "config.js", ... } myAddon/config.js: localRequirejs('myAddon') window.configInfo ...

Hi, I'm currently working on an extension that adds a new menu item which allows for easy access to extension actions. For that I'm creating a new menu with some submenus, add it to the mainMenuItems array, sort the array and force a refresh: let newMenu = { action: { title: function () { return _('...

Hey everyone, when sequentially editing the same property of multiple tracks in fast succession while the property that's being changed is used for auto-sorting, it's possible to trigger a null reference exception. I haven't yet figured out the exact steps to reproduce the issue, but from the looks ...

Hey there, when trying to change the track properties by clicking on a track in the track list and pressing F2, it can happen that the wrong column is selected when clicking too close to the border of the respective line in the browser. Steps to reproduce: - Select a track in the track list - Press ...

Small update: I wanted to make sure that it's not just a handling issue related to async/await and tried it with promises: function WriteFile(fileName){ var exportObj = { "property1": "value1", "property2": "value2" } app.filesystem.saveTextToFileAsync(fileName, JSON.stringify(exportObj), 'UTF-8'); ...

Isn't opening files for whatever reason kind of a common use case? It's not too far fetched to assume that after a file is read, it's modified by an external process and therefore needs to be loaded a second time. Besides, I'm not talking about reading the same file buffer twice in a row. What I mea...

Hi there, I discovered some weird behavior when calling getArrayBuffer() on a file buffer. To reproduce run the following function: async function FileTest(){ var fileName = '[somefilename]' var exportObj = { "property1": "value1", "property2": "value2" } await app.filesystem.saveTextToFileAsync(fil...

That's neat, I thought you were supposed to create a new class. Thanks for the hint!

Let me elaborate on what I meant - I'm currently using a custom skin that I originally made (judging from the git log) june last year, which I based on one of the built-in skins. Since then, the built-in skins were constantly improved, which is a good thing of course, and I've been, mostly, trying t...

That was spot on. After implementing the suggestions, the exceptions that were thrown were specific enough to let me figure out what was wrong with the data structure I provided. Lo and behold my very own treeview https://i.imgur.com/kab8mTf.png I didn't, technically spearking, want to display a fol...

Hi there, I'm trying to display hierarchical data and figured that the best way to do so would be a custom treeview element, but I cannot for the life of me get it to run. There are plenty of examples in various mm5 js files, but they are all rather lengthy and involved, usually spanning several fil...

It's hard not to sympathize with both sides here. It's true, the backend switch kinda sucks. Years worth of functionality and support, in the form of addons, just go poof. This functionality can be rewritten of course, but that will take a considerable amount of time - and that's the best case scena...
