Lol..
3 posts in the same minute...
Anyway, I edited my post to include an error that sometimes happen so perhaps you should check it again

As for the error hunting... I have spent endless hours hunting such ridiculous "errors".
So now it's quite easy for me to spot them...

Nevertheless that wasn't a coding error, it's just another of IE makes you want to suicide errors

Psyxonova,

I have gotten "Access Violations" before as well.

I assumed it was actually a problem with MM because what I found was that if I resize the Panel via code after it has been created (eg, the expand or contract button) then resizing it manually after that will cause an access violation (including undocking as it too resizes).

However, if you resize manually before you expand or contract, you shouldn't get that error. The VB function for resizing is pretty simple so if I've done something wrong there you'll probably easily spot it.

I downloaded the .42 installer and updated, however I had to re-do this change:

Code: Select all

Option Explicit 
Dim FilePath 
Dim CachePath 
Dim Mnu, Pnl, AlbumPanel, SlideTmr, qCache, prevListCount, HtmlPnl 
Dim lastNode : Set lastNode = SDB.MainTree.Node_Library 
Dim WBComplete : WBComplete = False 
Dim ImageSize : ImageSize = 250 
Dim sImageSize : sImageSize = 100

It seemed to work fine after than, until I selected the 'visual options' and it gave me the 'activex component can't create the 'songsdb.sdbapplication' error again.

line 89
char 2
file flashpage.html

It looks pretty cool tho, nice work!

edit:

also this sdbapplication script error when double clicking an album art:

line 127
char 5
flashpage.html

expand/contract toggle

line 89
char 2
flashpage.html

and, browse to artst or album doesn't work =/

gonna get some sleep, I'll check back in the morning!

PS -- You misspelled "Pictures" in your Topic Title, not sure if you can change it though. Hmm...
Mizery_Made, I'm going nuts trying to find this... I can't see it... I had very little sleep last night lol

Sorry, I fixed this last night for you and forgot to mention it!

Absolutely loving this script - it is a huge step forwards for MM. I'm glad the main teething problems have been resolved!

I just downloaded 0.42 and got this error when i double-clicked an album, it's in swedish but i guess you can figure out what it's about anyway. Line 48:5.

i also got this when clicking contract:

and a feature-request: pressing a on the keyboard goes to albums beginning with a, and so on.

loving the way it looks, eager to get it working!

DaledeSilva · Post by **DaledeSilva** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 10:23 am

thanks for the fix Trixmoto!

thanks Hars... that's a really good feature request.. I'm putting that on the short term list.

Hi, first let me say a big "Thank you" for this script.
It looks absoloutly fabulous.

Some erros i noticed:
- I get the same errors as hars gets on a german XP system.
So perhaps it is a problem with the charset or the encoding of some charakters.

- Also the function to show/hide the Albums without Art seems not to have any effect.

And some little suggestion:
Is it possible that both "Browse by Art" and "Pretty Pictures" use the same cached files? So you only need to cache the images once.

Wow!!

DaledeSilva · Post by **DaledeSilva** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 11:17 am

okay..

http://prettypictures.oiltinman.com
v0.421 is there..

It's finally been ground into my head how to set up the html file

So hopefully this should get rid of most of these active x issues now.

hars, this should also fix your problem as it's the same...

now that this script seems to be working a bit better.. I will continue development on the other aspects that I've mentioned in my second post...

However, one of those aspects will need either help from any of you or from the MM devs in a future release.

If you've noticed the way your first click will often only FOCUS the Pretty Pictures window, please read this thread and hopefully we can figure out a solution.
